Where is the area code 0018?

Answer 1

An international number beginning with 0018 is

• 00 = international dialing prefix
• 1 = North America (US, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean)
• 8 = first digit of 3-digit area code

You need the next two digits to be more specific.

Note that some countries use 001 as the international dialing prefix, which would make +8 the first digit of the country code, placing it somewhere in eastern Asia, but you need one or two more digits to know which country.

(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

Country code +1 is North America (USA, Canada, and various Caribbean-ish islands), but you need the following three digits (i.e., two more) to be specific. For instance, +1 801 is Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; +1 867 is Yukon, NW Territories, and Nunavut in northern Canada; and +1 876 is Jamaica.

Answer 3

00 is a commonly used international access prefix, not part of the country code or area code.

+1 is the country code for North America (USA, Canada, etc.)

800 is a toll-free prefix; however, +1 800 numbers may or may not be reachable from outside North America.

(7-digit number)

Alternatively,

001 is used as the international access prefix in some countries

+800 is the country code for Universal International Freephone numbers

(8-digit number)

(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.)
