Where is telephone country code 878?

Answer 1

Telephone country code +878 (dialed as 00 878 from many places) is used for Universal Personal Numbers.

(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

Telephone country code +872 was previously used by Inmarsat satellite telephones, primarily for ship-to-shore calls. It was previously necessary to dial the appropriate code for the ocean region where the ship was physically located. However, Inmarsat now uses the single country code +870. In most cases, the rest of the telephone number is the same as the old number: just substitute +870 for +872.

Note that calls to Inmarsat telephones may be substantially more expensive than calls to regular earth-based telephones.
