Which country code is 0300?

Answer 1

UK telephone numbers beginning with '03' are used mainly by businesses, government and other organisations who want a telephone number not associated with any specific geographic area. Calls to the number will be forwarded to wherever the number's owner chooses - and this could actually be anywhere in the world.

Although an 03 number does not cover a particular area it, by law, cost the same to call as a call to a 'normal' landline phone number starting 01 or 02. Where 'free' bundled minutes or call allowances cover calls to normal 01 and 02 landline phone numbers, they must also cover numbers beginning with '03'.

Within the 03 numbering range, there are the following divisions:

• 030 - charities, government and not-for-profits only
• 033 - any user
• 034 - reserved for companies with a matching 084number*
• 037 - reserved for companies with a matching 087number*

* Companies who already have an older non-geographic number beginning 084 or 087 are entitled to the matching 03 number. For example, Traveline uses 0871 200 2233, so would be able to claim the matching number 0371 200 2233 if it wished to offer callers the opportunity to reach it via this newer, cheaper range of numbers.

Answer 2

Invalid code. Country codes never begin with 0, and there is no country code +300, nor any valid numbers beginning with +30 0.
