There are two single-digit country codes:

  • +1 for North America, including the USA, Canada, and 18 assorted Caribbean or nearby island nations and territories
  • +7 for Russia and Kazakhstan, formerly for the whole USSR
All other country codes are two or three digits, with the following geographic basis. (Note, though, that there are a few exceptions, plus some transnational telephone services.)
  • +2 = Africa
  • +3 or +4 = Europe
  • +5 = Americas (except for +1; see above)
  • +6 = Oceania
  • +8 = eastern Asia
  • +9 = western Asia
Among the exceptions are codes like +297 for Aruba, assigned because there were no spare codes available beginning with +5. Transnational codes include +870 for Inmarsat satellite phones.

How many different 7-digit telephone members are possible if the first digit can not be zero and no digit repeat?

There are 10 possible numbers that can be chosen. Since the first digit can't be 0, there are 9 selections for the first digit. The second number can include a 0, but can't include the first number chosen, so there are 9 selections for the second digit. Then there are 8 digits for the next number, 7 digits for the next number, and so on. Total telephone numbers are: 9*9*8*7*6*5*4 = 544320 phone numbers.

How many 7 digit telephone numbers can be formed if the first three digits cannot be 800 and the first digit cannot be 0?

There are nine possibilities for the first digit. If this digit is not 8, there are ten possibilities for each of the remaining digits. Thus, if the first digit is not 8, there are 8 X 106 possibilities. If the first digit is 8, there are only nine choices for the second and third digits, since zero is excluded. This gives 9 X 9 X 104 possibilities that begin with 8. The total number of possibilities is therefore the sum of these two possibilities, which is 9.81 X 106 = 9,810,000.
