http://www.simplecountrycodes.com/<p>The idea is to offer a completely painless way to find the country codes you need when dialing internationally.<p>What I'm looking for is ideas to make the process potentially simpler, easier to use, or more useful. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
You should make the cursor snap to the first text box upon loading of the page<p>Can you make it not autocomplete text <i>in</i> the text field? Eg, type UK and it fills in UKraine ... nicer if it only auto completes when I click a result / select with arrows and press enter/tab.<p>Make the error page (select 1 country and click submit) much nicer, ideally inline javascript.<p>I'd make the results auto generate <i>above</i> the text fields, this way I can easily enter another two countries to calculate simply by pressing tab a few times.<p>It's also too hard to <i>return</i> back to the home page (assuming you don't do the above suggestion) -- how about a little image at the end of the sentence which when clicked takes you back to the homepage?<p>thats all I can think of right now - cool app!
One important point is missing: If I want to phone to Germany, I have to omit the first zero of the area code. Phoning to Italy I mustn’t omit it.<p>Make the result inline javascript. One page load less.<p>Additionally, wouldn’t it make sense to add some "dial this number now with Skype" or some related service?<p>Good service.
You could also think about using geolocation to pre-populate the first box. They have a free database and API that would work for this application: <a href="http://www.maxmind.com/app/support" rel="nofollow">http://www.maxmind.com/app/support</a>
On this Mac laptop, screen at full brightness in daylight, I can hardly see the grey text.<p>Although it says 'country' I can see a lot of people typing in cities. Any way to resolve those as well?<p>Also: trim whitespace. I typed in UK, hit space to remove Ukraine as a match, and it said no matches for "UK ".
Perhaps include current time in the from-country and to-country? Perhaps, also let the user set when they plan to call, e.g., 5pm to-country time, and it gives the from-country time...and vice versa.
Hi there lennysan. Nice idea.<p>My (minor) comment is:<p>Work on the keystrokes when the type ahead box appears.<p>For instance GR selects<p>Greece
...
Great Britain.<p>In this mode the UP arrow should select Great Britain.
Currently it is not bound.<p>Just my usability 2p.
Your (barely visible) footer <i>"We hope all of the data here is accurate, but if you find that it is not please send comments/suggestions/bugs to @countrycodes."</i><p>what's the email ID again?<p>I'm sure you would've already seen it, but incase if not, try getting in as many features (OR NOT) from <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/dialing.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/dialing.html</a><p>It already supports abbreviations like USA and UK, but not UAE. Also auto-completion should come in only if I press the arrow or down keys. If I enter UK, it should not automatically assume UKraine.
Another comment.<p>Looking at Great Britain -> Australia, you say ::<p>... 00 + 61 + area code + phone number<p>There are only 7 such area codes. These correspond to an Australian State.
Probably it would be worth listing some _example_ phone numbers in each State, with a label to each State. Often I have a local person give the phone number in an email, presuming I'm in the same State.<p>----<p>e.g<p>Victoria :: 00 + 61 + 3 + 9651 8911 (Vic Parliament)<p>New South Wales :: 00 + 61 + 2 + 9230 2111 (NSW parliament)
You can take it one step further and add the area codes to your database.<p>So I can choose to call munich from US, and it'll autofill the area code and the country code.
Couldn't you just call directory assistance? Usually free the first few usages and most people aren't calling different countries enough that they won't remember the codes for the most recently called ones.
Like it, bookmarked it. You could try and make it simpler (be careful....) but it does exactly what it's supposed to really well. I like the combobox usage as opposed to a dropdown.
