Numbering scheme
Teletalk uses the following numbering scheme for its subscribers:
+880 15 N1N2N3N4N5N6N7N8
Where, +880 is the ISD code for Bangladesh and is needed only in case of dialing from outside Bangladesh.
15 is the access code for Teletalk as allocated by the Government of Bangladesh. Omitting +880 will require using 0 in place of it instead to represent local call, hence 015 is the general access code.
N1N2N3N4N5N6N7N8 is the subscriber number.
