  • 1 (306) xxx xxxx (anywhere within the NANP outside the 306 area code)
  • +1 (306) xxx xxxx (outside NANP)
To call a number in San Francisco, California the dialing procedure will vary:
  • xxx xxxx (local calls, no area code required)
  • 1 (415) xxx xxxx (outside San Francisco, and within the U.S., Canada, and other countries in the NANP)[4]
  • +1 (415) xxx xxxx (outside the NANP - 1 is the country code for the U.S.)

  • xxx xxx (within Oslo - no area code required)
  • (02) xxx xxx (within Norway - outside Oslo)
  • +47 2 xxx xxx (outside Norway)

  • 22xx xxxx (within Norway - including Oslo)
  • +47 22xx xxxx (outside Norway)
In other countries, such as France, Belgium, Switzerland, South Africa and some parts of North America where the dialing plan is closed, the trunk code is retained for domestic calls, whether local or national, e.g.,
  • Paris 01 xx xx xx xx (outside France +33 1 xxxx xxxx)
  • Brussels 02 xxx xxxx (outside Belgium +32 2 xxx xxxx)
  • Geneva 022 xxx xxxx (outside Switzerland +41 22 xxx xxxx)
  • Cape Town 021 xxx xxxx (outside South Africa +27 21 xxx xxxx)
  • New York 1 212 xxx xxxx (outside the North American Numbering Plan +1 212 xxx xxxx)
