Where is telephone country code 00800?

Answer 1

00 is not an area code in any country.

00, 00x, 00xx, or 00xxx are codes used in many countries as a prefix to an international call. For example, to call from France to Sweden (country code +46), you dial 00 46. To call from Tanzania to Australia (country code +61), you dial 000 61. To call from Nigeria to Tunisia (country code +216), you dial 009 216. To call from Australia to Mexico (country code +52), you dial 0011 52.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 2

Nobody's ! Double-zero is a commonly used international access code - telling the phone network the number you want is outside your country. For example to dial the UK from overseas you'd dial 00 44, for France it would be 00 33, etc. Also, some other countries use different access prefixes; for example, to dial from Canada to the UK, you'd dial 011 44.

Answer 3

00 is a commonly used international access prefix, not actually part of the dialing code.

+20 is the telephone country code for Egypt

3 is the area code for Alexandria (03 in domestic format)

3 is the first digit of the 8-digit local number

Answer 4

Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Country code +800, dialed as 00 800 from many places, is Universal International Freephone Numbers, which are free of long-distance charges from any participating country. (Airtime charges on a mobile phone may still apply.)

008 is also used as an international access prefix in some areas, meaning that the following digits would be the actual telephone country code. However, no country codes begin with 0.

To avoid confusion, it is best to write an international telephone number in correct international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (e.g., +800), omitting any dialing prefix.
