Where is telephone country code 00123?

Answer 1

00 isn't part of the country code, it is a commonly used international access prefix. That leaves country code +0213, which does not exist. Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Alternatively, if your international access prefix is 000 instead of 00 (i.e., you live in Tanzania, Uganda, or Kenya), then you're asking about country code +213, which is Algeria.

(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, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 2

Telephone country codes never begin with zero, so presumably 00123 is a country code with your local international dialing prefix prepended. Because different countries may use different prefixes, it can be confusing to quote an international number with the dialing prefix attached.

If your international dialing prefix is 00 (the most commonly used), then you are asking about telephone country code +1, which is North America (USA, Canada, etc.), and an area code beginning with 23. You need the next digit to narrow down the location any farther.

However, some places use 001 as an international dialing prefix, which leaves you with country code +23, an incomplete country code somewhere in Africa.

(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

Oh, isn't that a happy little question! Country code 00123 isn't assigned to any specific country, but that's okay - sometimes numbers just like to wander and explore new places. Just remember, no matter where you are in the world, a kind voice on the other end of the line can always make you feel right at home.

Answer 4

That's not a valid country code. Country codes never begin with 0.

Country codes beginning with +23 (dialed from many countries as 0023X) are in Africa, but you need the next digit.
