Telephone numbers in Norfolk Island

Telephone numbers in Norfolk Island use the following dialing codes:

Country code: 672
Area code: 3
International call prefix: 00
Fixed numbers are of the format 672 3 2x xxx.^[1]
Mobile numbers are of the format 672 3 5x xxx.^[2]

The country code 672 is also used for the Australian Antarctic Territory.^[3] The code was also used for Christmas Island and the Cocos Keeling Islands, using area codes 2 and 4 respectively.^[4] In October 1994, they were migrated to the +61 country code, under area code 091 (using exchange prefixes 62 for Christmas Island and 64 for the Cocos Islands).^[5] These numbers have since migrated to the 08 9162 and 08 9164 ranges.^[6]

Until 1975, country code 672 was assigned to Portuguese Timor.^[7] When that territory was annexed by Indonesia in 1975, it used the Indonesian country code +62 and the area code 390. However, following the end of Indonesian rule in 1999, the code +672 9 was used under an interim arrangement to reach numbers in the territory.^[8]
