Supported calculations run from 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z until 2031-01-01T00:00:00Z. Zone names identify IANA representative locations; they do not locate a telephone number. The browser detects your device’s configured zone, which may differ from your physical location. Time rules: IANA tzdb 2026e. Location labels use its retained country tables. Times use the selected IANA entry; they are not a claim about every location in the country. The initial selection is a starting point; it does not confirm the capital’s time, country-wide time, or your location.

Code scope and kind describe the retained source record; a number prefix is not automatically a standalone destination code. Source-record state and its named-area relationships are separate. Listed in source does not confirm present allocation, live service, routing, activation, subscriber, carrier or caller location. Older records have no inferred withdrawal date. Unconfirmed records retain their specific visible qualification. Original names come from the cited code sources. Use the reviewed dialing guidance for domestic-prefix handling; no universal digit-removal rule applies.

The adjacent non-geographic section is excluded. The following qualification applies to code record IDs: regional-code:BI:itu-ob870-2006:existing:BI-OB870-2006-8. Code-record state: historical (older source record; current status has not been established). Code-record effective_from: null; effective_to: null. No named-area relationship is recorded in these entries. Code-record and named-area relationship states are separate qualifications. No withdrawal, replacement or service end date is inferred. Source edition: "Bulletin published 2006-10-15; ARCT communication dated 2006-09-27; new plan effective 2007-03-01". Historical source patterns only; no current assignment, present locality map, or full-country coverage is asserted. Communication date 2006-09-27, bulletin publication date 2006-10-15, and new-plan effective date 2007-03-01 are distinct source roles. The source calls the section Geographic numbers and prints existing/new number patterns. The model adapter takes literal leading digits before a contiguous terminal X mask as geographic_number_prefix and the mask count as subscriber length; original spaced patterns remain in sourceRecords. National prefix is not stated and remains unknown/null. Old-pattern effective dates and old-pattern end dates are not stated and remain null. Rural telephony is not represented as a locality. The adjacent non-geographic section is excluded.
