Saint Helena at a glance
Цифри та факти, які вам потрібні, перш ніж набрати номер.
What is the country code for Saint Helena?
Marooned in the South Atlantic between Africa and South America, Saint Helena is a British Overseas Territory best known as Napoleon's final place of exile — and it remains hard to reach in every sense.
Its country code is +290, and the numbers behind it are short by design, historically a flat 5-digit plan that suits a population of a few thousand. Add +290 after your exit code and the island is on the line.
Код +290 було призначено Saint Helena МСЕ за планом E.164. The “+” означає «наберіть свій місцевий міжнародний код виходу»; на мобільному телефоні натисніть і утримуйте 0 щоб набрати його.
Усі чотири означають те саме — вони з’єднують ваш дзвінок із Saint Helena.
How to call Saint Helena from anywhere
It's about as short a string as international dialing gets: your exit code, +290, then the island's local number. No trunk prefix sits in the way, so there's nothing to strip out.

Saint Helena phone number format explained
With only a few thousand lines to assign, Saint Helena never needed a long plan — historically a flat 5-digit national number with no area codes at all. Fixed and mobile numbers live side by side in that short range, told apart by their leading digits rather than by any geography.
Стаціонарний
Format +290 XXXXX. Fixed lines come from Sure South Atlantic, the island's sole provider.
мобільний
Format +290 XXXXX. Mobile service (2G/4G) arrived relatively recently via Sure, and mobile numbers draw from the same short national plan.

Saint Helena mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +290 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

Saint Helena time zone
Despite sitting far out in the South Atlantic, Saint Helena keeps Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), UTC+0, all year. There's no daylight saving here, so the island holds steady on UTC+0 while London springs forward and back around it.
Midday to late afternoon in Jamestown (12:00–16:00 GMT) lines up neatly with UK afternoons in winter — though British Summer Time pulls London an hour ahead of the island — and reaches the US East Coast in its morning.

Common mistakes when calling Saint Helena
Майже кожен невдалий міжнародний дзвінок є проблемою форматування, а не проблемою мережі.
Reaching for +247 instead of +290
Ascension Island, Saint Helena's near neighbor in the territory, has its own separate code. +290 covers Saint Helena and Tristan da Cunha; Ascension is +247. Two specks in the same ocean, two different numbers.
Expecting a long string
the island's plan is short, historically just 5 digits, so don't assume you've lost part of it.
Searching for an area code
there isn't one; the whole island shares a single short plan.
Forgetting the island holds GMT year-round
during British Summer Time the gap to the UK opens by an hour.
Assuming a choice of carriers
Sure is the only operator on the island.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Saint Helena
Lean on VoIP/SIP wherever you can
calls riding the island's long-haul connectivity have always carried a premium.
Hold a +290 virtual number so islanders reach you at a local rate instead of an international one.
Cluster calls into business hours to sidestep costlier off-peak handling.
For any real volume, route through a wholesale carrier rather than retail minutes.
