Country code

Country code, explained

A country code is the prefix that routes a call or text to the right national network, written with a plus sign. The United States and Canada share +1 as part of the North American Numbering Plan, so you cannot tell them apart by country code alone; the area code shows which country a number belongs to. The United Kingdom uses +44. When a sign-up form asks for your number, it usually has a separate country selector, and entering the code twice is a common reason verification fails. Noir SMS offers US, Canada and UK numbers, plus 190+ other countries with varying stock.
