Area codes

[edit]

The structure of the numbering system of the public switched telephone network is geographic, with number portability, as follows:[1]

DN + NDC + SN = NSN = NJ XPQ MCDU

DN (Network code) = NJ

NDC (Numbering area) = XPQ

SN (Subscriber number) = MCDU

For landlines, 3J XPQ MCDU where J cannot be 0.

'M', 'C', 'D', and 'U' stand for thousands, hundreds, tens, and units, respectively.
