Where is telephone country code 00150?

Answer 1

Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Telephone country code +1, dialed as 00 1 from many places, is North America (USA, Canada, etc.); 55 is the first two digits of a three-digit area code, but you need the next digit to narrow down the location.

Telephone country code +55, dialed as 001 55 from many places, is Brazil.

To reduce the possibility for confusion, it is best to write an international telephone number beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (e.g., +1 or +55), omitting any dialing 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 2

Country code +55 (dialed as 00 55 from many places) is Brazil.

Area codes in Brazil are two digits, followed by an 8-digit landline number or an 8- or 9-digit mobile number. Landlines and mobiles use the same area codes, but the subscriber number begins with 2, 3, 4, or 5 for landlines, or 6, 7, 8, or 9 for mobiles. For example, +55 11 2xxx xxxx is a landline in São Paulo (area code 11), but +55 11 9xx xxx xxx is a mobile in São Paulo.

(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

Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Country code +55, dialed as 00 55 from many places, is Brazil.

Country code +5, dialed as 005 5 from many places, is an incomplete code for somewhere in the Americas. You need one or two more digits to specify the country. For example, +598 is Uruguay.

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., +55 or +598), omitting any dialing prefix.

(The plus signmeans "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 4

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 area code +1 551 is in northern New Jersey, USA, including Jersey City and Hackensack. Area code +1 551 is an overlay of area code +1 201, serving the same geographic area.

Alternatively, if your international access prefix is 001, then you're looking at country code +55 (Brazil) and an area code beginning with 1 (somewhere in Sao Paulo state).

That's why it is best to quote international numbers beginning with the country code, without the international access prefix, since it varies from country to country.

Answer 5

00 isn't part of the code, it is a commonly used international access prefix.

+1 is the telephone country code for North America, including USA & Canada.

50 is the first two digits of the three-digit area code. You need one more digit to narrow down the location.

Alternatively, some places use 001 as the international access prefix, which would leave you with telephone country code +50, an incomplete country code somewhere in the Americas. Again, you need one more digit to narrow down the location.

To prevent this sort of confusion, it is best to quote international telephone numbers beginning with the plus symbol and the telephone country code, omitting any access prefix.
