secrets behind European phonecodes:
International country codes got issued in 1964,
the codes evolved from a first
Pan European numbering plan
that had been set up in 1961.
Some countries, in particular
those that had a 3x or 4x code
were able to keep them.
in general the 4- codes are
for the North Eastern Anglo/Germanic countires:
(+41), (+43), (+44), (+45), (+46), (+47), (+48), (+49)
the 3- codes for the South Western Latin countries:
(+31), (+32), (+33), (+34), (+39)
and 35- for the smaller countries:
(+350), (+351), (+352), (+353), (+354), (+355), (+356), (+357), (+358), (+359)
Only two countries, France and the UK
have a double digit country code.
Around the World only four countries have
a premium double digit code.
Many codes that were issued at a later time
like Romania (+40) or exEast Germany (ex+37)
In 1968 Turkey (+36),
a candidat for EU membership, got removed from Europe
and switched over the Middle East
with the present code (+90)
For the following 30 year nothing changed until Nov 9 1989, fall of the Berlin wall.
Recently due to political changes 37, 38 and 42 became available
to 'new' countries mostly from the former exsoviet (+7) phonesystem
37 from exEast Germany
after the reunification of Germany, (+37) became available to I0 new countries:
Lithuania (+370), Latvia (+371) , Estonia (+372) , Moldova (+373), Armenia (+374), Belarus (+375)
shortly later some small countires did not want to be part of the phonesytem
of their French or Italian neighbourg
so they also got the remaining exCommunist Germany +37 codes:
Andorra (+376), Monaco (+377), San Marino (+378) and the Vatican (+379 not activated jet)
after break up of old Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia 38 was used for
Ukraine (+380), and the 5 countries which made the old Yugoslavia:
new Yugoslavia (including Serbia and Montenegro) (+381),
Croatia (+385), Slovenia (+386), Bosnia (+387) and Macedonia (+389)
after separation of old Czechoslovakia 42 was used for
Czech Republic (+420), Slovakia (+421) and
since april 5 1999 Liechtenstein (leaving Switzerland) (+423)
for future changes
various +38- and +42- codes are available
these codes could be issued for future European countries ...
