Country codes
Tip: we recommend using the international format of numbers when entering a contact. For example, a Dutch mobile number would be +31612345678, in which +31 is the country code.
Note: it is important to set the correct country code when:
1. you do not use the international format for contacts’ phone numbers;
2. there is a PSTN connection that does not support this format.
The alarm dialler has a list of default codes for each country.

Explanation of country codes
To dial out using PSTN, GSM and SIP, country codes convert entered phone numbers into international format (GSM and SIP) and local format (PSTN).
Local format (PSTN): area code - subscriber number
The area code consists of two parts:
- the long-distance access number (= a one- or two-digit code used to call within a specific country); usually a 0;
- the specific area code (= the first 3 or 4 digits of a telephone number).
The subscriber number is the number of the specific extension.
Example local format
Phone number Adésys - 0174 794022
Area code | Subscriber number |
---|---|
0 (long-distance access number) 174 (specific area code) | 794022 |
International format (GSM and SIP): international access number - country code - area code - subscriber number
Good to know: the international format does not include the long-distance access number.
The international access number is a series of digits to start an international call.
The country code is a number that identifies a specific country. Each country has its own unique country code.
Example international format
Phone number Adésys - 00 31 174 794022
International access number | Country code | Area code | Subscriber number |
---|---|---|---|
00 | 31 | 174 (specific area code) | 794022 |
