I am trying to find a world list of Time Zones by Zip Codes and/or Area Code(and their respective foreign number) in sometype of downloadable format (CSV, XML, Excel, etc).
Example:
USA 33647 -6:00 GST USA 95400 -9:00 GST Europe xxxxx -x:xx GST Africa xxxxx +x:00 GST
Does something like this exist? If so, do you have a copy available for download? If not, do you know where I can get it. Just trying to figure out a way to tie an address or phone number anywhere in the world to a time zone.
Thank you very much for all of your assistance.
Sincerely,

I don't think you can get this data from Argentina since not many people worries about timezones (only when there are political fights about using or not DST or adhering to one or another timezone)... However, since I had already made a Province to Timezone mapping and the ZIP codes include the ISO-3166-2 Province Code, I added the ISO-3166-2 code to my table (and also Gwillim Law's Hierarchical Administrative Subdivision Code, see http://statoids.com/ihasc.html). The table is at http://wiki.clueless.com.ar/ActualizarTimezonesConTzdata#provincia_tz_baby it'll be valid when tz2008i introduces the America/Argentina/Salta timezone (before that, the Provinces that have that code were in the America/Argentina/Cordoba timezone). The ZIP Codes in Argentina are called CPA (Código Postal Argentino) and are of the form IDDDDLLL (see http://www.correoargentino.com.ar/consulta_cpa/home.php) Where I is the ISO-3166-2 code. DDDD are 4 digits (starting at 1000, have the same value as the older -pre 1998- ZIP Codes) LLL are 3 letters that identify the side of a block. The only thing you need to identify the timezone is the first character "I" which can be any English alphabet letter except the "I" or "O" (there are 23 Provinces plus the Federal "Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires", historically called "Capital Federal").
