International Telephony Numbering Plan Resources

Due to the expansion of telephone number capacity to accommodate

pagers, fax machines, wireless telephony, and other new phone

technologies, numbering plans have been changing worldwide. Many

new area codes have been established; new service categories have been

established (for example, to accommodate GSM, personal numbering,

corporate numbering, etc.). Below we list several web sites that present

up-to-date information on the telephony numbering plans used around

the world. While we find these to be generally good resources, we

would note that URLs may change or become nonfunctional, and we

cannot guarantee the quality of information on these sites.
