Phone Country Codes: Complete Table for 2026

A country phone code is a numeric prefix that must be dialed before the subscriber’s number when making an international call. Without it, the call simply won’t reach the intended country. Below is a complete table of codes, explanations for popular destinations, and instructions for dialing from a mobile phone.

Our table will come in handy if you want to find out where a call is coming from

What Is a Country Code in a Phone Number

Each country or territory has a unique numeric prefix assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). When you call abroad, the telephone network uses this code to route the call to the correct country, and from there — to the specific carrier and subscriber.

+7 is that very international code

The country code is placed right after the “+” sign (or after the international prefix 00 in some networks). For example, to call Germany, you dial +49 followed by the subscriber’s number. To call Russia or Kazakhstan — +7.

Code length varies from one digit (e.g., +1 for the USA and Canada) to three or four digits (e.g., +994 for Azerbaijan). The shorter the code, the larger the country typically is by number of subscribers — this is how numbering resources were historically allocated.

Country Codes for International Calls

Below is a list of international phone country codes in alphabetical order (by Russian name). The table includes independent states and dependent territories that have their own phone code.
