What country is area code 888?

Answer 1

Country code +888 (dialed as 00 888 from many places) is used for major international disaster relief operations, coordinated by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA). These numbers are temporary, and may be reused in a future relief effort.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 2

In North America (USA, Canada, etc.), area code 888 is toll-free numbers, along with area codes 800, 877, 866, 855, and 844. The person on the other end of the line could be literally anywhere in the world, but you don't pay for the call.

Answer 3

888 is among the area codes in US and Canada that is assigned for toll-free numbers. This is a non-geographic code, which means that it is not assigned to a specific area. Other toll-free number prefixes are 800, 877, 866, and 855, with 844, 833, and 822 reserved for future toll-free use.

Answer 4

00 is a commonly used international access prefix, not part of the country code or area code.

+1 is the country code for North America (USA, Canada, etc.)

+1 888 is a toll-free code within North America, along with +1 800, 877, 866, and 855 (and in future 844, 833, and 822). You can try dialing a North American toll-free number from other countries; if the call goes through, you will probably still pay normal international rates for a call to the USA. If the call does not go through, the company's website may list a regular geographic number.

Answer 5

Telephone country code +1 is North America, including the USA, Canada, and 18 assorted island countries and territories in or near the Caribbean. A telephone number beginning with +1 888 is a toll-free number within North America, although any specific +1 888 number may not be reachable from all parts of North America. It may or may not be possible to reach a particular +1 888 number from outside North America, simply by dialing it as if it were an ordinary geographic number (e.g., +1 888 555 0123); if the call does go through, the caller will generally pay the normal international call charges for a call to the United States.

Answer 6

In North America (country code +1, including US, Canada, and some nearby islands), area codes 800, 888, 877, 866, and 855 are toll-free.
