  • One row means the release note lists that code for that change type. It says that the data changed, not how many number ranges changed.
  • Phone-metadata notes for non-geographic calling codes (such as +800, +870, +881, +882 and +883; 19 release-code pairs) are not rows; phone rows cover two-letter regions only.
  • Code-only releases and time-zone refreshes are not rows; 80 of the 182 releases also refreshed time-zone data.
  • Release notes retrieved on 25 September 2026 (latest release v9.0.40, dated 23 September 2026).
  • Seven sanctioned countries are excluded: their region rows and the carrier and geocoding rows of their calling codes. MobileValidate does not serve numbers from sanctioned countries or regions.
