+37
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The +37 international country calling code was formerly the code for phone numbers in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). In the early 1990s, a few years after the German Reunification in 1990, the former GDR joined the +49 country code, causing +37 to become unused. It has now been split, and allocated to ten other countries:
- +370: Lithuania
- +371: Latvia
- +372: Estonia
- +373: Moldova
- +374: Armenia
- +375: Belarus
- +376: Andorra
- +377: Monaco
- +378: San Marino
- +379: Vatican City
Most of these countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Armenia and Belarus) were part of the Soviet Union (and therefore the Soviet country code +7). When the Soviet Union broke up, these countries chose to adopt country codes of their own.
Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City are small countries that were using numbers from France or Italy, respectively, but are now using country codes of their own. While calls to San Marino and the Vatican can be dialled either directly or via Italy's code +39, it is no longer possible to call Monaco or Andorra via France's code +33.
