Monaco? WTF? And Slovenia doesn't make much sense either. Why wouldn't it be Serbia and Albania?
- izacus 11y agoFor Slovenia it's because the largest operator Mobitel (now part of Telecom of Slovenia) had a rather large mobile base station and service deployment in the region. The base stations were directly managed from Slovenia even before the split and were now assigned the slovenian prefix.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoI wondered about this too. It appears to be because one of their mobile phone service provider's network is managed by Monaco Telecom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_and_Telecom_of_Kosovo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_and_Telecom_of_Kosovo
- phillc73 11y agoI wondered too, and thought perhaps they meant Montenegro (+382), which is right next door to Kosovo. Apparently not.
