Where in North America is area code 871?

Answer 1

871 is not a North American area code. It is also not a valid telephone country code. (+871 was formerly used by Inmarsat for shore-to-ship calls, but Inmarsat now uses only country code +870.)

In the UK, a number beginning with 0871 (or +44 871 in international format) is a low-end premium 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.)

Answer 2

Honey, area code 871 doesn't exist in North America. You must have been given the wrong number or you're trying to prank call someone who doesn't even exist. Do yourself a favor and double-check that area code before you end up dialing into The Twilight Zone.

Answer 3

invalid code

Telephone country code +871 was previously used by Inmarsat for satellite phones, primarily for ship-to-shore calls. However, Inmarsat now uses only country code +870. In many cases, you can just substitute +870 for the old +87x number.

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 4

In North America (USA, Canada, etc.), there is no area code 871.

In the UK, area code 0871 (or +44 871) is for national numbers charged at no more than 10p/minute.
