Curaçao at a glance
Die Zahlen und Fakten, die Sie vor dem Wählen benötigen.
What is the country code for Curaçao?
Curaçao dials in on +599 — but there's a twist born of history. When the Netherlands Antilles dissolved, the islands kept sharing the +599 code, and Curaçao staked out the leading 9 as its own.
So +599 alone isn't enough; the 9 is what steers a call to this island rather than its former neighbours. There's no domestic trunk code to fuss over — islanders dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly, while callers abroad prefix +599 9 to those same seven digits.
Code +599 zugewiesen wurde Curaçao von der ITU im Rahmen des E.164-Plans. Der “+” bedeutet „Wählen Sie Ihren lokalen internationalen Exit-Code“; Halten Sie auf einem Mobiltelefon die Taste gedrückt 0 um es zu tippen.
Alle vier bedeuten dasselbe – sie verbinden Ihren Anruf mit Curaçao.
How to call Curaçao from anywhere
Four blocks, every time: your exit code, then 599, then the island's signature 9, then the 7-digit local number. Miss the 9 and the call never finds the island.

Curaçao phone number format explained
Count eight digits after +599: the island's 9, followed by a 7-digit subscriber number. That first subscriber digit quietly tells you what you're calling — 4, 7 and 8 belong to fixed lines, while 5 and 6 mark out mobiles.

Curaçao mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +599 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Flow Curaçao (formerly UTS)
mobiles in the +599 9 5/6 ranges; Flow is the incumbent island operator.
Digicel Curaçao
mobiles in the +599 9 5/6 ranges; Digicel competes island-wide.
Curaçao time zone
The island stays on AST, UTC-4, year-round — no clock-changing, no daylight saving, so the offset is fixed. Conveniently for North American business, that puts Willemstad in step with US Eastern time for much of the year.
US callers barely need a timetable — Curaçao tracks Eastern hours, so a 9-to-5 day lines up almost exactly. From Europe, aim for late afternoon (16:00–19:00 CET) to catch the island around midday.
Emergency numbers in Curaçao
Free to call from any Curaçao phone, landline or mobile.
Common mistakes when calling Curaçao
Fast jeder fehlgeschlagene Auslandsanruf ist ein Formatierungsproblem und kein Netzwerkproblem.
Treating +599 as a one-island code
it isn't. +599 is a shared inheritance from the Netherlands Antilles, and the 9 is the only thing that points the call at Curaçao specifically. Drop it and you may land on the wrong island entirely.
Forgetting the 9
it's mandatory: dial +599 9, never bare +599.
Reaching for a trunk 0
there's no domestic trunk prefix here to add or strip.
Assuming +1 like most of the Caribbean
Curaçao sits outside the North American Numbering Plan; it's +599, full stop.
Miscounting digits
you want exactly 8 after +599 (the 9, then seven).
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Curaçao
Swap carrier IDD tariffs for a VoIP or virtual number.
Favour the landline ranges (4/7/8) when you can
