Where 870 fits
Why 870 is special
+870 is not a country. It reaches Inmarsat's satellite network, used by ships, aircraft and remote operations beyond terrestrial coverage.

Read as powers of two: 512 + 256 + 64 + 32 + 4 + 2 = 870.
In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
8 coils of rope, 7 hobbles
8 × 100 + 7 × 10 = 870. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
1 corner wedge + 4 vertical wedges (sixties place), 3 corner wedges (units place)
14 × 60 + 30 = 870. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Greek (Ionic)
omega, then omicron, marked as a numeral
omega-omicron + keraia
omega + omicron written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.
Hebrew numerals
tav, then tav, then ayin
tav-tav-ayin
tav (400) + tav (400) + ayin (70) = 870, written in descending order.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Related numbers & connections
Two non-geographic satellite ranges. Neither identifies a territory: +870 reaches Inmarsat terminals and +881 global satellite handsets, so the number addresses a device rather than a place.

why?
Strength 0.50, confidence "high".
Geography
+870 addresses Inmarsat satellite terminals rather than any territory, which is why ships and aircraft can be dialled at sea.
