Telephone Numbering Plan

A Telephone Numbering Plan is a systematic method used by countries to organize and assign unique phone numbers to individuals and businesses. It ensures that each phone number is identifiable within a geographic or service area, allowing calls to be correctly routed. Typically, numbers are structured into regions, areas, or service types, often including country codes, area codes, and local numbers. This organized approach helps prevent overlaps, simplifies dialing, and ensures efficient communication across networks, facilitating easy and reliable connection between callers and recipients worldwide.
