Calling the Bahamas

How to phone the Bahamas from the UK

The Bahamas uses country code +1, followed by area code 242.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

001 242
then the seven-digit local number

Example

Bahamas number: 555-0012
Dialled from the UK as: 00 1 242 555 0012

Bahamas number not seven digits long?

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the area code and/or +1 country code. For example:

  • +1 242 555 0012
  • (242) 555-0012
  • 242-555-0012

In such cases, just make sure the last seven digits (the local number) are prefixed with 00 1 242. All the examples above would be dialled from the UK as: 00 1 242 555 0012.
