+940 Country Code

What country is the area code +940?

The country code +940 does not exist. However, it should be noted that there is currently no country that uses this country code, but the beginning of the prefix matches that of Sri Lanka (+94).

For this reason, any call received from a number with the country area code +940 will be interpreted as originating from Sri Lanka.

At the same time, it should be noted that international prefixes can start with 00 or with the "+" symbol and then the phone number of the cell phone you want to call. Both are the same, so if you receive a call from a phone starting with the country code +940 or 00940 it is probably a call from Sri Lanka.

When should the +940 country code be used?

As mentioned above, the +940 is not a international area code as such, it is only +94, the number below being the beginning of an area code or the beginning of a phone number located in Sri Lanka.

So to call Sri Lanka you should use the country code +94 and then add the corresponding area code (if necessary) and the phone number you wish to call.

It is important to remember that all calls from a foreign country to another country will have a higher cost than calls made in the same country. The final cost of the call will be defined by the telephone company with which the call is made.
