Country codes never begin with zero. There are several countries in Asia with country codes +97X, but you need the next digit. 097 could also be an area code within a particular country, but you would need to know which country.

Answer 2

Country codes beginning with +97 (dialed as 00 97 from many places) are in the Middle East and Central Asia, but you need to specify the next digit. Also, country code +979 (possibly written as 00 979 or 011-979) is used for adult premium-rate calls.

There are eight countries with +97X country codes:

+970 Palestinian Territories

+971 United Arab Emirates

+972 Israel

+973 Bahrain

+974 Qatar

+975 Bhutan

+976 Mongolia

+977 Nepal

In addition, +979 has been assigned for international "adult premium services."

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

• +964 Iraq
• +965 Kuwait
• +966 Saudi Arabia

Country code +597, dialed as 00 597 from many places, is Suriname.

Country code +97, dialed as 005 97 from many places, is an incomplete code somewhere in Asia. You need one more digit to specify the country. For example, +976 is Mongolia. Note also that +979 has been reserved for adult premium telephone services.

To avoid confusion, it is best to write an international telephone number in correct international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (e.g., +597 or +976), omitting any dialing prefix.
