Where is country code 00 1 617?

Answer 1

'00' isn't part of the country code, it is a commonly used international access prefix. Country code +1 is North America (USA, Canada, etc.), and +1 617 is Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Answer 2

Dialing 00 in the United States will reach the long-distance operator, no matter what further digits you dial after 00.

00 is a commonly used international access prefix, which would leave telephone country code +1 617. Telephone country code +1 is North America, including the USA, Canada, and 18 islands in or near the Caribbean. Telephone area code +1 617 is Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

On the other hand, if your international access prefix is 001, then you are asking about +61 7, which is the state of Queensland, Australia.

If your international access prefix is 0016, then you are asking about +1 7, which is an incomplete area code in North America. You need two more digits to narrow down the location.

Because of the potential for confusion, it is best to write international telephone numbers beginning with the plus symbol and the country code, omitting any access prefix.

(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 3

Country code 00 1 617 corresponds to the United States, specifically the area code 617 which covers the city of Boston in the state of Massachusetts. The country code 1 is assigned to the United States in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which is used for telephone numbering in the United States, Canada, and several other countries and territories. The area code 617 is one of the original area codes established in 1947 and serves the Greater Boston area.
