Understanding telephone codes
Telephone codes are numerical sequences that must be dialed before the telephone number. They are the key to international communication.
Each country is assigned one or more unique international telephone codes by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
These codes identify the geographical area, the country, or sometimes even a specific region within a country, as in the case of the vast nations divided into area code zones in the USA or Canada.
What is a telephone code?
A telephone area code, or prefix, is a sequence of digits that precedes the virtual local telephone number and identifies the geographical area of the number’s owner.
Area codes vary not only from country to country – for example, +33 for France, +32 for Belgium and +1 for the USA and Canada (part of North America) – but also, in some cases, within the country itself. Discover also the area codes to call DROM.
These codes play an essential role in internationaltelephone dialing , facilitating calls between different countries.
List of indicators by country and region
Our geographical area code classification makes it easy to find the right code for your international calls. Whether you need to contact Antigua & Barbuda in the Caribbean, explore business opportunities in South Korea, or manage operations in New Caledonia, our organized list lets you easily navigate across continents and oceans, from the Indian Ocean to North America.
All the countries in the world are divided into 9 blocks.
Zone 0 is unassigned, but here is a list of all countries and their area codes.

How to dial an international number
To make an international call, the process always begins with the international prefix, often represented by “+” or “00” followed by the destination country code.
For example, to call New Zealand (area code +64), first dial + or 00, then 64, and finally your correspondent’s local number. This sequence ensures that your call crosses international borders to reach the right country.
It is important to note that prefixes may vary depending on the country of origin of the call.
For example, the prefix for leaving the telephone network and accessing the international numbering plan is 011 in the USA and Canada, but 00 in many other countries.
Kavkom facilitates this process by integrating features that automatically adjust prefixes according to your location, ensuring that your international calls are correctly routed with no extra effort on your part using VoIP telephony.
Our tips for international calls
Making international calls can be expensive, but there are ways to reduce these costs while maintaining clear, reliable communication.
Using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solutions like those offered by Kavkom can significantly reduce international call costs.

Telephony and emerging technologies
As we move forward into an era of increasing globalization and rapid technological innovation, the telecommunications field is on the cusp of a revolution.
International telephone codes, traditionally anchored in a global numbering system, are likely to undergo major transformations with the advent of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and 5G.
These innovations promise to reshape not only how we use area codes, but also how we think about communication on a global scale.
Artificial intelligence and communication
AI has the potential to simplify and automate international call management. By integrating AI systems, companies like Kavkom can offer smarter services such as automatic country and area code identification based on the context of the call, or real-time translation to break down language barriers. These advances could reduce communication errors and improve the efficiency of international interactions.
Blockchain for security and transparency
Blockchain offers a unique opportunity to increase the security and transparency of telephone communications. By using distributed ledger technology to record and verify call transactions, it becomes possible to combat fraud and unwanted calls, ensuring that business communications remain secure and reliable, regardless of their geographical origin.
The Impact of 5G on Telecommunications
5G will bring unprecedented connection speeds and reliability, which could reduce reliance on traditional telephone area codes by promoting the use of VoIP and other forms of digital communication.
With near-zero latency and enhanced data processing capacity, 5G will enable high-quality calls, seamless video conferencing, and seamless integration between communication devices, making international interactions more fluid and natural.
As these technologies continue to develop, Kavkom positions itself at the forefront of telecoms innovation.
By anticipating and integrating these advances, Kavkom doesn’t just keep pace with the evolution of international callsigns and communication; we shape it. Our commitment to innovation ensures that our customers remain efficiently and securely connected, now and in the future, in a world where the boundaries of communication are constantly being pushed back.
