### Why are Bouvet Island (BV), Pitcairn Island (PN), Antarctica (AQ) etc. not supported? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We only support a country if: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **The country has a single country calling code.** For instance, Kosovo (XK) |
|
|
|
has been using three different country codes until 2017 - those of Serbia, |
|
|
|
Monaco and Slovenia. The relevant numbers will be marked as valid, but as |
|
|
|
belonging to Serbia, Monaco or Slovenia respectively. When Kosovo starts |
|
|
|
using its own country calling code of 383 it will be added to the metadata |
|
|
|
by itself. Similarly, Antarctica doesn't use its assigned country calling |
|
|
|
code of 672 - instead the bases belonging to different countries have |
|
|
|
different solutions. For example, Scott Base, belonging to New Zealand, has |
|
|
|
an area code that is part of the New Zealand phone number plan, and we |
|
|
|
support those numbers as valid numbers for NZ. |
|
|
|
* **The country still exists.** For example, Yugoslavia (YU), Serbia and |
|
|
|
Montenegro (CS) and Netherlands Antilles (AN) have been dissolved and no |
|
|
|
longer exist as political entities so we do not support them. |
|
|
|
* **The country has some phone numbers in use that can be ascribed to it.** |
|
|
|
For instance, Pitcairn Island has only around thirty inhabitants and they |
|
|
|
use satellite phones, so there is no numbering plan for Pitcairn Island. |
|
|
|
Similarly, Bouvet Island is an uninhabited Antarctic volcanic island with no |
|
|
|
telephone country code and no telephone connection, so we will not support |
|
|
|
it. |
|
|
|
* **It has an assigned region code.** For instance, previously Kosovo did not |
|
|
|
have a region code assigned to it, so we could not support it until it was |
|
|
|
assigned XK by [CLDR](http://cldr.unicode.org/). |
