Its all really simple. The numbers are allocate by the ITU. The numbering plans then have to comply with the E164 schema and in the start they were
probably based like std codes on the name. So G for GB is 4 and then the second 4 was added as the UK could not justify that large a number block.
Once the logical ones were allocated then more random combinations were used. The only problem with this methodology is that its not the most
efficient use of the number blocks. So as to get all the countires in additional nyumbers were added to the country code. I think the maximum
number of digits is 14.
So 00 International Access code, 44 Country Code 117 Area code 988 7777 Local number.
