Where is telephone country code 881?

Answer 1

Country code +870 (dialed as 00 870 from many places) is used for Inmarsat satellite phones, including ship-to-shore.

Note: charges for calling +870 are substantially higher than most international calls.

(Inmarsat previously used +871, +872, +873, and +874 for satellite phones in specific parts of the world, but those codes have been retired in favor of the single code +870.)

(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.)

Answer 2

Telephone country code +873 was previously used by Inmarsat satellite telephones, primarily for ship-to-shore calls. It was previously necessary to dial the appropriate code for the ocean region where the ship was physically located. However, Inmarsat now uses the single country code +870. In most cases, the rest of the telephone number is the same as the old number: just substitute +870 for +873.

Note that calls to Inmarsat telephones may be substantially more expensive than calls to regular earth-based telephones.

Answer 3

Telephone country code +874 was previously used by Inmarsat satellite telephones, primarily for ship-to-shore calls.

Answer 4

Country code +881 (dialed as 00 881 or 011 881 from many places) is global satellite phones, including Iridium and Globalstar. Note that charges to call +881 may be substantially higher than most ordinary international calls.

• +881 6 or +881 7 is Iridium
• +881 8 or +881 9 is Globalstar
• +881 0 or +881 1 was reserved for ICO Global/Pendrell (not currently in use)
• +881 2 or +881 3 was reserved for Ellipso (not currently in use)
