Where is telephone country code 00178?

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.), and 78 is the first two digits of a three-digit area code. You need the next digit to narrow down the location any farther.

Telephone country code +7, dialed as 001 7 from many places, is Russia and Kazakhstan.

To reduce the possibility of confusion, it is best to quote an international telephone number beginning with the single plus symbol and the correct telephone country code, 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

Assuming that 00 is your international access prefix, that's country code +1 and area code 718, which is New York, New York, USA, excluding Manhattan.

Answer 3

Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Country code +1, dialed as 00 1 from many places, is North America, including the USA, Canada, and certain Caribbean and nearby islands. Area code +1 710 is a special code reserved for use by the US federal government, for authorized users only.

Country code +7, dialed as 001 7 from many places, is Russia and Kazakhstan, but there are no valid numbers beginning with +7 10.

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., +1 or +7), omitting any dialing prefix.

Answer 4

Telephone country codes never begin with zero. What you have is a telephone country code quoted with the location-dependent dialing prefix for international calls. However, in different places, 00, 001, and 0015 are all possible international dialing prefixes, making it impossible to know for certain what part of that number is the actual telephone country code.

If the prefix is 00, then it's country code +1, area code 516, which is Nassau County, Long Island, New York, USA.

If the prefix is 001, then it's country code +51, Peru, and a national number beginning with 6.

If the prefix is 0015, then it's country code +1, which is North America (USA, Canada, and certain islands in or near the Caribbean), and an area code beginning with 6.

For that reason, it is least confusing to quote international telephone numbers beginning with the plus symbol and the actual telephone country code, omitting any dialing prefix.

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., +1 or +91), omitting any dialing prefix.
