International Networks (country code)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International Networks is the name given by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to country calling code 882, 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 codes 870-874. Intra-European carriers can be allocated within the European Telephony Numbering Space (ETNS), country code 388.
As in the other such shared country codes, carriers are allocated number space within this code space plus a two-digit number specific only to the 882 code space. The phone number for a subscriber of such a service will start with +882 followed by the carrier code.
