Telephone Info

First off, I need to correct my last column. I've been informed that the Kyrgyz Republic is now *using* the 996 country code (at least you have to dial them that way from Canada). Also, Tajikistan has been assigned country code 992, but there's no indication of when they'll start using it. That leaves Kazakhstan as the only country sharing country code 7 that *hasn't* been assigned it's own country code (Russia, of course, gets to keep country code 7).

Anyway, with no further ado, here's the latest Zone 1 area code list.
