About Dialing Formats
A telephone number is made up of the following elements:
IDD CC NDD AC SN
where,
•
IDD is the International Direct Dialing prefix, used when dialing to a different country
code.
•
CC is the Country Code, used when dialing from a different country code (note: Canada
and the United States share the same country code).
•
NDD is the National Direct Dialing prefix, used only when calling between different area
codes within a country code. A country may have more than one national direct dialing
prefix (may vary between carriers).
•
AC is the Area (or city) Code.
•
SN is the Subscriber Number (local number).
You don't always have to enter all these elements when making a call. For example, if you
are calling a number within the same National Direct Dialing area, you only need to dial the
area code and subscriber number.
