Find any 246- phone number in Barbados

The 246 area code belongs to Barbados, a small island country in the Caribbean Sea. It is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which divides telephone networks in the countries of Canada, the United States, the Caribbean islands, and more than 20 other countries and territories around the world into various number plan areas, or NPAs. Each NPA is designated with a three-digit area code.

The 246 area code was officially activated in 1997 and covers the entire island of Barbados. This area code is unique to the North American numbering plan, in that all national calls in country code +246 must use the same systems and route in the same way, no matter where the call originates or what type of device is used. This is in contrast to the rest of the NANP, in which different NPA structures are used to route calls and identify numbers. This ensures that all national calls within Barbados are routed and routed quickly.
