Turks and Caicos Islands at a glance
Les chiffres et les faits dont vous avez besoin avant de composer.
What is the country code for Turks and Caicos Islands?
For a British Overseas Territory, the Turks and Caicos dials surprisingly American: it sits inside the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) on +1, the same code as the US and Canada.
One area code — 649 — stretches across every island, from Grand Turk to Provo, and there's no standalone country code to learn. For the US visitors and offshore clients who fuel its economy, that means a TCI number behaves like a domestic call.
Internationally a TCI number is +1 649 XXX XXXX. Because it's inside NANP, callers in the US and Canada skip 011 altogether and simply lead with 1.
Tous les quatre signifient la même chose : ils connectent votre appel à Turks and Caicos Islands.
How to call Turks and Caicos Islands from anywhere
Every TCI number is 10 NANP digits. From inside North America it's simply 1 + 649 + the seven local digits, no international exit code at all. From everywhere else, lead with your own exit code, add 1, then the full 10 digits.
Exemple complet : +1 649 XXXXXXX — supprimez le premier 0 local lorsque vous appelez de l'étranger.
Turks and Caicos Islands phone number format explained
Ten digits, every time: the 649 area code followed by a 7-digit local number, with full ten-digit dialing across the territory.
Téléphone fixe
+1 649 XXX XXXX — fixed lines come from Flow and Digicel, the two operators serving the islands.
Mobile
+1 649 XXX XXXX — mobiles draw on the very same 649 code as landlines, with no dedicated mobile block, so a number alone won't tell you whether it's a handset or a desk phone. Portability has been under TCITC consultation, and the carrier generally can't be read off the digits either.

Turks and Caicos Islands mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +1 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Flow (Cable & Wireless / Liberty Latin America)
Digicel (Turks & Caicos)
Turks and Caicos Islands time zone
The islands run on US Eastern Time — EST (UTC−5) in winter, EDT (UTC−4) in summer — and turn the clocks on the US schedule, second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November. For the New York and Toronto markets that drive its tourism and offshore business, that's the convenient part: TCI stays on the same hour as the US East Coast year-round.
Because TCI keeps US Eastern hours, any slot that suits a New York office suits the islands too; an island morning also catches Europe in its afternoon.
Ouvrez le planificateur interactif du meilleur moment pour appelerCommon mistakes when calling Turks and Caicos Islands
Presque tous les appels internationaux échoués sont un problème de formatage et non un problème de réseau.
Adding 011 from the US or Canada
the most common slip, because the islands feel foreign. They aren't, dialing-wise: inside NANP you press only 1 + 649 + the number, exactly like calling another US state. The 011 is for stepping outside the plan.
Assuming +1 means it's billed as a local call
it's dialed like one, but most carriers still rate +1 649 as an international destination, so check your plan before a long conversation.
Mixing up 649 with another Caribbean +1 island
the region is full of NANP codes (Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman), but 649 belongs to the Turks and Caicos alone.
Dropping the 649 on a "local" call
there's no shortcut; all ten digits are always required on-island.
Expecting a separate country code
there isn't one. TCI shares +1 with the US and Canada; 649 is simply its area code.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Turks and Caicos Islands
Carry 649 traffic over VoIP or a virtual TCI number rather than paying carrier international rates.
Watch for "one-ring" callback scams spoofing +1 649
the familiar +1 makes the island number look domestic, which is the whole trick.
Add a Caribbean or NANP bundle; carriers routinely rate +1 649 as international despite the +1 in front.
Keep personal calls on Wi-Fi calling or apps and save PSTN minutes for business lines.

Turks and Caicos Islands +1 — FAQ
Do I need 011 to call the Turks and Caicos from the US?expand_more
— No. It's inside NANP, so you dial 1 + 649 + the seven-digit number, exactly like calling another US state. Adding 011 is the most common mistake.
The islands are a British territory — so why is the code +1?expand_more
— Because the Turks and Caicos joined the North American Numbering Plan. Politically British, telephonically North American: it shares +1 with the US and Canada and carries area code 649.
Since it's +1, is calling TCI a local call from the US?expand_more
— It's dialed like one, but most carriers still bill +1 649 as an international destination, so check your plan or add a bundle.
Is 649 the only area code I'll need?expand_more
— Yes. A single code, 649, covers Provo, Grand Turk and every other island, so there's nothing region-specific to look up.
Can I tell a Turks and Caicos mobile from a landline?expand_more
— Not from the number. Mobiles and fixed lines both use 649 with no separate block, and Flow and Digicel share the same code.
Won't I confuse it with another Caribbean +1 island?expand_more
— Easy to do, given how many NANP codes the region has — but 649 is unique to the Turks and Caicos, so the area code settles it.
Is the time difference to TCI predictable from the US East Coast?expand_more
— Very. The islands keep US Eastern Time and observe the same daylight saving, so they stay on New York's hour all year.
Can my business hold a 649 number without an office on the islands?expand_more
— Yes — MCM provisions virtual 649 DIDs remotely and routes them to your team anywhere.
