📞 Have you ever looked at a country’s phone code and wondered what it really means? Why does the USA and Canada share the unique +1? Why does Russia have +7… and why are there only two single-digit codes in the entire world? It all goes back to how the world was divided into phone regions in the 1960s. The number each country starts with isn’t random — it reflects historical priorities and global influence at the time. 🌍 +1 was reserved for North America, +7 for the USSR, and the rest of the world got grouped by continents and regions: Africa got +2, Europe got +3 and +4, Latin America +5, Asia +6 and +8, and the Middle East +9. But what happened to +0? That’s the one code that still doesn’t exist. Could it be saved for Antarctica? Or maybe… for future calls to the Moon? 🌙📡
