Wondering who's the mastermind behind those country codes in phone numbers? Well, it's the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to the rescue! This global organization, part of the United Nations ensures seamless communication worldwide. The country codes, those three-digit numerical gems you dial before your pal's number, are meticulously assigned by the ITU. They've got a nifty list, known as the ITU E.161 standard, that lays out the codes for every country on the planet. 🌐📞 #brightside Credit: DynaTAC8000X: Redrum0486, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DynaTAC8000X.jpg Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
