8+8 IOs controlled via sms

[aratti]

I am projecting an IO device controlled via sms. It could be interesting for me, to know how many digits are used to make a national phone call in the various country.

For instance, in my country we need 10 digits for a national call (3 digits for the operator + 7 for the cellphone).

Since it is my intention to publish the final project, if I will obtain some answers from the forum members, I could end up (if feasible) with a system that could be used globally.

Please, along with the digit length, indicate also the country.

Hey Aratti.

I'm from Denmark, Europe.

Here we only use 8 digits. of course theres is the country-code +45, but normally, we don't use it, because our phones are programmed to in-country calls. Unless we type another country-code in front of the number.

Thank you Lerche, for the information. In fact I am planning to allocate space only for in-country (National) sms delivery.

To make an "in country" call here 10 digits are used. The first three are the area code.

Thank you Dave for the answer.

In fact we have to dial 11 digits here in L A County, California. A 1, a 3 digit area code, and the 7 digit phone number, even to call across the street.
