02 — THE BASICS

What is the +1 country code (242)?

The Bahamas shares the +1 country code of the North American Numbering Plan with the US + Canada. It is reached with +1 followed by a single nationwide area code — 242 — that covers every island in the archipelago.

NANP — the same +1 as the US/Canada

The Bahamas does NOT have a unique country code — it is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and uses <b>+1</b>, the same code as the US + Canada. A Bahamian number is <b>+1</b> followed by its single area code <b>242</b>, then a 7-digit local number: <code>+1 242 123 4567</code> = 10 digits after +1. From North America you reach the Bahamas almost like a domestic call (no 011), but it is a separate country billed at international rates.

URCA-regulated

The Bahamas' telecom industry is regulated by URCA (the Utilities Regulation & Competition Authority). Two carriers serve the market: <b>BTC</b> (the Bahamas Telecommunications Company — the former state operator) + <b>Aliv</b>. Both issue mobile numbers across the single 242 area code. ITU zone 1.

One area code for 700+ islands

The Bahamas is an archipelago of <b>700+ islands + cays</b>, yet every phone number — from Nassau on New Providence to Freeport on Grand Bahama to George Town in the Exumas — sits behind the single area code <b>242</b>. The code does not map to a city; it covers the entire country. Ten-digit dialing (242 + number) is used throughout.

DID YOU KNOW

The Bahamian dollar is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted interchangeably across the islands. The Bahamas is an archipelago of 700+ islands + cays where tourism dominates — Nassau + Paradise Island (Atlantis), the swimming pigs of the Exumas, the pink-sand beaches of Harbour Island + a huge cruise trade.

It is also a major offshore banking + finance centre, and Junkanoo is the national festival. Unusually for the Caribbean, the Bahamas observes US-style daylight-saving time.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Bahamian phone number in international format is written as +1 242 [7-digit local]. Example: +1 242 123 4567. There is a single nationwide area code — 242 — for the whole archipelago, with no leading 0 to drop and no per-island code.

Because the Bahamas is part of the NANP, from the US + Canada you simply dial 1 + 242 + 7 digits (no 011 prefix needed). From everywhere else you dial your exit code, then 1, then 242 + the number. On any mobile, + replaces the exit code: +1 242 123 4567 works worldwide. Mobiles are written +1 242 XXX XXXX.

Want to call the Bahamas from abroad? From the US/Canada dial 1 + 242 + number (no 011 — it's within the NANP). From other countries dial your exit code (00 in most, 0011 in Australia), then 1, then 242 + the 7-digit number. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +.
04 — COVERAGE

Where a +1 242 number reaches.

From Bay Street in Nassau to the marinas of the Abacos + the cays of the Exumas, every Bahamian number lives behind +1 242. The single area code covers all 700+ islands — one number to sound local nationwide.

Frequently asked.

The country code for the Bahamas is +1 — the same code as the US + Canada, because the Bahamas is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). It does NOT have a unique country code. You reach a Bahamian number with +1 followed by its single area code 242, then a 7-digit local number, e.g. +1 242 123 4567.
242 is the single area code for the Bahamas — a nationwide code that covers all 700+ islands + cays, from Nassau to Freeport to the Exumas. It does not map to a specific city; the whole country sits behind +1 242. Ten-digit dialing (242 + 7-digit number) is used throughout.
It uses the same +1 country code as the US + Canada (the NANP), but it is a separate country. Calls between the US/Canada + the Bahamas don't need a 011 prefix, yet they are still international calls billed at international rates. The Bahamas is distinguished within +1 by its area code 242.
From the US or Canada, dial 1, then the area code 242, then the 7-digit number — no 011 needed, because the Bahamas is within the NANP. Example: 1 242 123 4567. On any mobile you can also dial +1 242 123 4567.
From the UK, dial 00 (UK exit code), then 1, then 242 + the number. Example: 00 1 242 123 4567. Or simply use +1 242 123 4567 from any UK mobile.
From Spain, dial 00 (Spain exit code), then 1, then 242 + the number. Example: 00 1 242 123 4567. From a mobile, use +1 242 123 4567.
A Bahamian number in international format is written as +1 242 [7-digit local]. Example: +1 242 123 4567. There is no leading 0 + no per-island code — the single area code 242 covers the entire country.
Yes. 242 is the single nationwide area code for the Bahamas — it covers all 700+ islands + cays, from New Providence (Nassau) to Grand Bahama (Freeport) to the Abacos, Eleuthera, the Exumas + the Out Islands. Any +1 242 number can serve a line anywhere in the country.
Nassau — the capital + largest city, on New Providence island — uses the nationwide area code 242, the same as the rest of the Bahamas. Nassau numbers are written +1 242 123 4567. There is no separate Nassau-only code.
1-242-300 is part of the Bahamian toll-free range — calls are free for the caller while the business pays. Bahamian banks, utilities + large operators publish 1-242-300 numbers for customer service. Shared NANP toll-free codes (800/888/877/866) are also reachable within the Bahamas.
The Bahamas runs on Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) in summer. Unusually for the Caribbean — where most islands do NOT observe daylight saving — the Bahamas does follow US-style DST, so it stays on exactly the same clock as New York + Miami all year round.
The Bahamas uses the Bahamian dollar (BSD, B$), which is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted interchangeably across the islands. Prices, ATMs + change mix both currencies seamlessly, which is part of why the Bahamas aligns so cleanly with US commerce.
Yes. CallMama issues a real Bahamian +1 242 number from anywhere with internet access — no Bahamas address required, no in-person KYC. The single nationwide area code 242 covers every island, and you can go live in about 60 seconds.

The Bahamas draws an enormous cruise + tourism trade plus a Bahamian diaspora in the US, generating heavy inbound calling. Because the Bahamas shares the +1 NANP, a +1 242 number is easy for North American family, cruise lines + businesses to reach, with no 011 needed.
Two carriers serve the Bahamas, both regulated by URCA: BTC (the Bahamas Telecommunications Company — the former state operator) + Aliv. Both issue mobile numbers across the single 242 area code.
