Country codes help calls reach the right country. In the 1960s, the International Telecommunication Union created a system to organize numbers by world zones. Large regions received shorter codes, like +1 for North America, while smaller countries received longer ones, such as +354 for Iceland. This keeps phone numbers simple and easy to remember. Today, country codes still work like addresses, guiding each call to the correct country before pinpointing the exact phone.
