Saint Kitts and Nevis at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Saint Kitts and Nevis?
Saint Kitts and Nevis doesn't carry a +xxx code of its own. It belongs to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), so it shares +1 with the US and Canada and is pinned down by its dedicated area code 869, created in 1996 when the territory split off from the older, shared 809 area code that once covered a much wider swath of the English-speaking Caribbean and Bermuda. From the US or Canada you simply dial 1 + 869 + the 7-digit number, no 011 in sight — it behaves like a domestic long-distance call.
Code +1 was assigned to Saint Kitts and Nevis by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Saint Kitts and Nevis.
How to call Saint Kitts and Nevis from anywhere
For North American callers, Saint Kitts and Nevis feels closer than the distance suggests: it dials like any in-country long-distance call — 1 + 869 + number, and absolutely no 011.
Full example: +1 869 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Saint Kitts and Nevis phone number format explained
A Saint Kitts and Nevis number is a textbook NANP 10-digit string: the 869 area code, a 3-digit exchange (NXX), then a 4-digit line number. As across the whole plan, you dial all ten — there's no shorter local form.
Landline
+1 869 NXX-XXXX — 869 area code + 7-digit local number.
Mobile
+1 869 NXX-XXXX — same format; mobiles aren't distinguished by a separate prefix.

Saint Kitts and Nevis mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +1 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Digicel
leading mobile operator across the Eastern Caribbean; nationwide GSM/LTE.
**Flow** (formerly LIME / Cable & Wireless)
full mobile and fixed coverage across both islands.
Saint Kitts and Nevis time zone
Saint Kitts and Nevis holds Atlantic Standard Time (AST), UTC−4, every day of the year — no daylight saving, no spring-forward surprises. The practical upshot for North American callers: in winter the federation runs an hour ahead of US Eastern, and in summer (when the US is on EDT) the two line up exactly.
US and Canadian callers can reach Basseterre across the normal workday year-round with barely a shift to think about. From the UK or EU, aim your early afternoon at the federation's morning.
