Notable fact
The +672 code was originally assigned to Portuguese Timor and reassigned after Indonesia's 1975 annexation — it now serves only Norfolk Island (prefix 3) and Antarctic research stations (prefix 1)
02The basics

What is the country code for Norfolk Island?

Norfolk Island is a small external territory of Australia in the South Pacific, roughly 1,400 kilometres east of the Australian mainland, with a population of about 2,000 served entirely by Norfolk Telecom, the island's sole operator for fixed-line, mobile and internet service.

The island shares its +672 country code with an unlikely neighbour: the Australian Antarctic Territory. A routing prefix distinguishes the two — 3 for Norfolk Island, 1 for Antarctic research stations — meaning a full Norfolk Island number in international format is always +672 3 followed by 6 digits.

The code's history traces back to Portuguese Timor, which originally held +672 before Indonesia's 1975 annexation of East Timor absorbed the territory into Indonesia's +62 system. The ITU reassigned the orphaned code to Norfolk Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory; when Timor-Leste gained independence in 2002 it received an entirely new code, +670, leaving +672 with its Pacific and Antarctic successors.

Code +672 3 was assigned to Norfolk Island 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.

03Dialing format

How to call Norfolk Island from anywhere

The pattern: your exit code + 672 + 3 + the 6-digit subscriber number. The 3 is essential — it's what separates Norfolk Island from the Australian Antarctic Territory on the shared +672 code.

07Time zone

Norfolk Island time zone

Norfolk Island operates on Norfolk Island Time (NFT), UTC+11, shifting to UTC+12 during the southern hemisphere summer (roughly the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April) — one of the few Pacific territories that observes daylight saving.

This puts it about 30 minutes ahead of eastern Australian states for most of the year. Business hours generally follow Australian patterns: 9 AM–5 PM, Monday to Friday, with government offices in Kingston sometimes running shorter hours.

Sydney (AEDT/AEST)
About 30 minutes ahead of eastern Australia, varying with each region's own DST schedule

Common mistakes when calling Norfolk Island

Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.

Using Australia's +61 code

Norfolk Island is not part of the +61 numbering plan despite being an Australian external territory. Dialing +61 will not reach Norfolk Island — the correct code is +672 3.

Omitting the routing prefix 3

Dialing +672 directly followed by the subscriber number, without the 3, can misroute the call — the 3 is what separates Norfolk Island from the Australian Antarctic Territory's prefix 1 on the same +672 code.

Expecting Australian domestic call rates

Even though Norfolk Island is Australian territory, calls from the mainland are billed as international, crossing from +61 to +672 — not covered by domestic or unlimited-Australia calling plans.

Adding a trunk prefix

Norfolk Island has no trunk prefix. Dial +672 3 directly followed by the 6-digit number — do not insert a leading 0.

Confusing Norfolk Island with Norfolk, Virginia or Norfolk, England

These are entirely separate places with their own country/area codes (+1 757 and +44 1603 respectively) — Norfolk Island's code is +672 3.

10Save money

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Norfolk Island

Always include the 3 after +672

Since +672 is shared with the Australian Antarctic Territory (prefix 1), any system storing or dialing Norfolk Island numbers should treat +672 3 as the effective country-code unit, not just +672.

Check your carrier's specific Norfolk Island roaming terms before traveling

Coverage and roaming agreements vary by Australian carrier — Norfolk Island being Australian territory does not guarantee your home plan works there without extra charges.

Use VoIP for cost control

Calls between mainland Australia and Norfolk Island can run several dollars per minute on standard plans; WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom over the island's internet connection are common cost-saving alternatives.

Account for the DST shift when scheduling

Norfolk Island moves from UTC+11 to UTC+12 for daylight saving (roughly October to April), which can shift the effective time difference with other regions by an hour during transition periods.

11For business

Why businesses get a Norfolk Island virtual number

Norfolk Island's economy centres on tourism, agriculture and government administration, with close ties to mainland Australia following the 2015 governance changes that brought the island under New South Wales jurisdiction. Its small, tight-knit community and seasonal tourist influx from Australia and New Zealand shape most local business activity.

A genuine local presence for a small, seasonal tourism market

A +672 3 number gives tourism operators and travel-related businesses a real local point of contact for Norfolk Island's Australian and New Zealand visitor base.

Avoids the high per-minute cost anomaly

Standard calls from mainland Australia to Norfolk Island can run several dollars per minute despite being to Australian territory — a virtual number routes calls more cost-effectively for both sides.

No need for physical office setup

A virtual Norfolk Island number lets businesses establish a local contact point without needing on-island staff or premises.

Simplified customer support routing

Calls to a Norfolk Island number can be forwarded to a support team anywhere in the world, letting a business stay centralised while appearing locally reachable.

Correct prefix handling built in

Using a provisioned +672 3 number sidesteps the common error of confusing Norfolk Island's prefix with the Australian Antarctic Territory's on the shared +672 code.

Faster setup than a physical line

A cloud DID can go live in minutes, compared to coordinating a physical line install through Norfolk Telecom, the island's sole small-scale operator.
