International Networks (country code)
Encyclopedia
International Networks is the name given by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to country calling codes 882 and 883, and serves as a catch-all for telephone services not dedicated to a single country. Satellite telephone carriers, especially those with worldwide service, are allocated within the Global Mobile Satellite System
(GMSS), country code 881, with the exception of non-terrestrial Inmarsat
, country code 870.
As in the other such shared country codes, carriers are allocated number space within this code space plus their identification code (two-digit number in 882 code space, three or four digit number in 883 code space). The phone number for a subscriber of such a service will start with +882/+883 followed by the carrier code.
In the +882-99 block, two numbering spaces are currently colliding: The numbering area has officially been assigned to Telenor but prior to this assignment, e164.org has started to assign unofficial numbers within that numbering area.
