How to Call Bahamas from Abroad

Follow these steps to dial a phone number in Bahamas from any other country. The process is the same whether you are calling a landline or a mobile number.

  1. 1
    Dial the international access code or +

    On a mobile phone, press and hold 0 to get the + symbol. From a landline, dial your country's exit code (00 from most of Europe, 011 from the US/Canada, 0011 from Australia). With Kinvo, simply type + in the dialer.

  2. 2
    Dial Bahamas's country code: 1-242

    After the + or exit code, enter 1-242. This routes your call to Bahamas's telephone network.

  3. 3
    Dial the full local number

    Bahamas does not use a trunk prefix, so dial the local number exactly as written after the country code. No digits need to be removed.

  4. 4
    Dial the remaining local number

    Enter the area code (if applicable) and the subscriber number. The complete international number should look like this: +1 242 359 1234
