Saint-Barthélemy phone numbers explained

Number details

Saint-Barthélemy phone numbers are nine digits (ten including a leading ‘0’ that is not dialed when calling from outside the region). The leading ‘0’ is used when Saint-Barthélemy is called locally or from France or French Overseas Departments and Territories (except for those in the Pacific).

The first three digits designate whether the phone number is a landline (‘590’) or mobile (‘690’) – these numbers exist to make the Saint-Barthélemy phone system compatible with the French system. Note that the country code for Saint-Barthélemy is also ‘590’, resulting in ‘590’ being dialed twice in the phone number.

Mobile numbers begin ‘690’.

Saint-Barthélemy shares country code ‘590’ as well as exchanges ‘590’ and ‘690’ with Guadeloupe and Saint-Martin.

International example – calling from outside Saint-Barthélemy

To call from outside Saint-Barthélemy, dial the exit code of the country the call is dialed from, followed by Saint-Barthélemy’s country code of ‘590’, followed by the local phone number.

Do not dial any leading ‘0’ listed in the Saint-Barthélemy phone number.

Many phone numbers dialed through the international call sequence will dial ‘590’ twice in a row. This is normal, as ‘590’ is both the country code for Saint-Barthélemy as well as the first three numbers of landline phone numbers in Saint-Barthélemy.
