Micronesia country code +691 — call Micronesia & get a number.
+691 is the country code for the **Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)** — NOT the Marshall Islands (+692) or Palau (+680), which are separate countries with separate codes. FSM numbers are 7 digits with no area codes. The trickier fact: the country spans **two time zones** (Chuuk & Yap at UTC+10, Pohnpei & Kosrae at UTC+11), so two islands within the same country can be an hour apart. Neither observes DST.

Micronesia at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Micronesia?
The country code for Micronesia is +691. Dial it after your exit code (or the + symbol on a mobile) to reach any phone number in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).
+691 is the Federated States of Micronesia — a sovereign island nation, not a region. "Micronesia" is *also* the name of a wider sub-region of Oceania that includes several other countries, but the country code +691 applies only to the FSM, not to the geographic region as a whole. Do NOT confuse the FSM with its neighbours: the Marshall Islands use +692, and Palau uses +680. These are separate countries with separate codes.
If you only remember one thing: +691 is the COUNTRY (FSM), not the region. And within that country, the numbering plan is flat — 7 digits, no area codes, no trunk 0. Once you have +691 and the 7-digit subscriber number, you have the complete number.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Micronesia.
How to call Micronesia from anywhere
To place an international call to the FSM, dial three parts in order: your exit code → country code (+691) → 7-digit local number. From the US/Canada: 011 691 XXX XXXX. From the UK/EU: 00 691 XXX XXXX. From any mobile: +691 XXX XXXX. The + prefix on a mobile automatically substitutes the correct exit code for whatever network you're on, so it's the most reliable way to dial when travelling.
Full example: +691 no dialed prefix XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Micronesia phone number format explained
FSM phone numbers are seven digits long and are dialled without any area or trunk code. There is no 0 to add or drop, and no city codes to memorise — once you have +691 and the 7 digits, you have the complete number. The first three digits of the 7-digit number loosely map to the four states of the federation, functioning as a rough geographic prefix rather than a dialable area code. In practice you never dial these prefixes separately; they are simply the opening digits of the full national number.
Landline
Landline numbers use the same 7-digit format as mobiles — both are provided by FSM Telecom on a single national numbering pool.
Mobile
Mobile numbers use the same 7-digit format as landlines. FSM Telecom is the primary operator across all four states, so mobile-vs-landline is a service-type distinction rather than a numbering-plan one.
Micronesia area codes — major cities
Drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
| City | Region | Area code |
|---|---|---|
| Pohnpei (Palikir — federal capital) | Pohnpei State | no dialed prefix |
| Weno | Chuuk State | no dialed prefix |
| Colonia | Yap State | no dialed prefix |
| Tofol | Kosrae State | no dialed prefix |
Micronesia mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +691 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
FSM Telecom
the state-owned incumbent — provides landline, mobile, and internet service across all four states. Coverage varies between the main islands and remote outer atolls.
Micronesia time zone
This is the detail most callers miss. The Federated States of Micronesia is split across two time zones, and neither observes daylight saving time. Chuuk and Yap run on UTC+10; Pohnpei and Kosrae run on UTC+11. That means two islands within the same country can be one hour apart. If you schedule a call assuming a single "Micronesia time," you may be off by an hour depending on which state you're reaching. Always confirm which state your contact is in before setting a time. Because neither zone shifts for DST, the offset to the US and UK widens or narrows twice a year as those countries shift — always sanity-check the current gap before booking a live call.
From the US East Coast, dial 6:00–8:00 PM ET to reach next-morning FSM (Chuuk/Yap 9:00–11:00 AM UTC+10; Pohnpei/Kosrae 10:00 AM–12:00 PM UTC+11). From the UK, dial 10:00 PM–midnight to reach FSM 9:00 AM–12:00 PM. Given the two internal zones, plan the EARLIER end of your window if you need to catch western states (Chuuk/Yap) during business hours — they'll be an hour ahead of Pohnpei/Kosrae. Confirm the state, not just the country.

Common mistakes when calling Micronesia
Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.
Confusing FSM with Marshall Islands or Palau
+691 is the Federated States of Micronesia. **The Marshall Islands use +692** and **Palau uses +680** — three distinct countries with three distinct codes. Dialing +691 will not reach Majuro (Marshall Islands) or Koror (Palau).
Assuming one national time
Because the FSM spans UTC+10 (Chuuk & Yap) and UTC+11 (Pohnpei & Kosrae), guessing a single "Micronesia time" can put your call an hour off. Always confirm which STATE your contact is in before scheduling.
Adding an area code
There are none — 7 digits is the complete local number. Don't insert a city prefix between +691 and the subscriber number.
Adding a leading trunk 0
FSM numbers do not use a national trunk 0 to strip when going international. Dial the 7 digits as-is after +691.
Treating "Micronesia" as one thing
The word describes both a specific country (FSM) and a wider Pacific sub-region that includes Palau, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, and others. +691 is the COUNTRY code — the sub-region uses many codes.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Micronesia
Dial with +691 from mobiles
Avoids misrouted calls and repeat-dial charges — especially useful in a Pacific-route market where legacy carrier pricing can be steep.
Use VoIP or cloud calling instead of legacy international rates
Pacific island destinations are often priced separately (and higher) than mainland routes on legacy carrier plans. VoIP cuts that materially.
Batch calls into the FSM daytime window
FSM daytime (roughly 08:00–17:00 local) is evening in Europe and afternoon-into-evening in the Americas. Plan one shared window per state rather than repeat-dialing.
Check per-minute rates specifically to Pacific island destinations
Even within "international" pricing, Pacific islands often carry a premium tier — verify with your provider before high-volume outbound.
Why businesses get a Micronesia virtual number
A virtual number lets an organisation present a consistent point of contact for customers, partners, or field staff connected to the Federated States of Micronesia — routing calls to wherever your team actually sits. For NGOs, maritime and fisheries operators, regional government partners, and businesses supporting the wider Pacific, a local-format presence can improve answer rates and simplify inbound contact. Virtual numbers also decouple your published number from any single device or office — useful in a country where connectivity varies between the main islands and remote outer atolls.
Availability note: the FSM is a small Pacific market, and number availability in such destinations is often limited or subject to regulatory and carrier restrictions. Availability should be checked or requested rather than assumed — where local +691 numbers aren't offered, we can advise on alternative routing and international number options for reaching the region.
Support NGO and humanitarian Pacific work
FSM is a partner in regional humanitarian, health, and development work — a virtual local presence helps coordinate field staff and beneficiary hotlines.
Serve maritime, fisheries, and shipping operators
The FSM's Exclusive Economic Zone is vast and fisheries-critical — operators, regulators, and inspection authorities benefit from a reliable local contact point.
Regional government + Compact of Free Association work
The FSM has close administrative ties to the US via the Compact of Free Association — federal agencies, contractors, and partner organisations sometimes need reliable in-region reach.
Cloud routing over unreliable local connectivity
Outer atolls have variable connectivity — a cloud-routed virtual number keeps your line reachable even when specific island infrastructure isn't.
Wider Pacific cluster pairing
Pair FSM (+691) with Guam (+1 671), Marshall Islands (+692), Palau (+680), and Australian/NZ numbers for a coherent Pacific coverage plan.
Honest availability disclosure
Rather than promise inventory we can't guarantee, we check case by case — small-market provisioning is honest work, not marketing.
