Hi, I'm building the registration part of a mobile site and I need to retrieve the country name from the country code of a mobile phone number (eg. +1 corresponds to United States).
Is there any publicly available code/database that will have this info.
Ive tried searching but all I come up with is the conversion of country prefixes to country names (us-United States).
This isn't really programming related, but as always Wikipedia is your friend.
Wikipedia also links to this page at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Yeah, there is, but it's slightly involved (well, not that hard really).
You'll just need to look up in the order of 1-digit prefix, 2-digit prefix, 3-digit prefix, etc, in order to get the match done correctly (at least, I think so).
Make sure you write a nice test suite for it :) Have fun.
