A country code is a short alphanumeric code used to uniquely identify countries and dependent areas in communications, data processing, and international dialing. There are different types of country codes:
- Calling Code: Numeric code used for international telephone dialing. Example: United States is 1, India is 91.
- ISO 2-letter Code: Two-letter code defined by ISO 3166 used in various international contexts. Example: US for United States, IN for India.
- ISO 3-letter Code: Three-letter code defined by ISO 3166. Example: USA for United States, IND for India.
- ISO 3-digit Numeric Code: Three-digit numeric code defined by ISO 3166. Example: 840 for United States, 356 for India.
Country codes serve as standardized identifiers globally for telephone, data exchange, and administrative purposes. For example:
Country| Calling Code| ISO 2-letter| ISO 3-letter| ISO Numeric
---|---|---|---|---
Afghanistan| 93| AF| AFG| 004
Albania| 355| AL| ALB| 008
United States| 1| US| USA| 840
India| 91| IN| IND| 356
Let me know if you want information on the country code for a specific country or usage details. This information is based on standard country code lists such as ISO 3166 and international calling codes. If you want, I can provide more specific country code details.
