phone numbers

How would i find out what country a phone number comes from.

You tell by the international code. There is a full list here:

Its at the start of the number.

thanks for that, do you know if each country has its own set numbers for the start of mobile phone numbers?

[Wix]

NO, mobile phone numbers don't use country codes.

Only landlines use country codes.

[janisl]

What i meant was, our numbers on mobiles generally start 07... do other countries have that with different numbers

[Wix]

Ah i see what you mean. Yes they do, have a look here:

"NO, mobile phone numbers don't use country codes. "

Dunno where you get that idea from; if you wanted to call me on my mobile in Greece, you would need to use the +30 prefix exactly as you would for my landline, and conversely, if I was going to dial your UK mobile, I would need to use the +44 prefix.
