communicationnumber
1. country code; international dialing code
The number dialed before a phone number to reach another country — 81 for Japan, 1 for the United States. Also used for the country code entered in online forms.
日本(にほん)の国番号(くにばんごう)は81だ。
Japan's country code is 81.
国番号(くにばんごう)をつけて電話(でんわ)をかけてください。

国際電話(こくさいでんわ)をかけるときは、最初(さいしょ)に国番号(くにばんごう)を入力(にゅうりょく)する必要(ひつよう)がある。
When making an international call, you need to enter the country code first.
The leading zero of a mobile number is dropped when the country code is added.

The first element takes the kun'yomi くに, not the on'yomi こく — a reading trap, since most compounds written with 国(こく) use こく.
