Telephone number information/formats
These data tables, built by
GRC
Data Intelligence, contain information about world telephone numbers and systems, designed to allow you to:
- Burst telephone numbers into their component parts (country code, international trunk code, national destination code (area code), national significant number (subscriber number))
- Check the validity of the numbers, in terms of their basic structure and length
- Identify which numbers belong to mobile (GSM) numbers, allowing, for example, SMS actions to be prepared and executed.
About five country telephone systems make changes every month. We keep these tables updated and can provide updates as changes occur.
The information is provided in three files:
(1) Telephone number structure file, containing over 13000 records with:
- Country codes
- International telephone country code
- International telephone trunk code
- National destination codes (area codes)
For example:
