What is the use of country code?
Country codes are short alphabetic or numeric geographical codes (geocodes) developed to represent countries and dependent areas, for use in data processing and communications. Several different systems have been developed to do this.
Why is +44 used?
44 is the country code for the UK. 0 is the long distance dialling code within the UK, from STD (subscriber Trunk Dialling) used to access the 'long distance' or trunk network. You don't need it if dialling the UK from overseas as the call arrives already on the trunk network.
