Find any 868- phone number in Trinidad and Tobago
The 868 area code is the telephone area code in Trinidad and Tobago. 868 is one of the 86 area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). It was created in 1962 when Trinidad and Tobago paired with Barbados and other Caribbean islands to form the NANP. This allowed for the consolidation of area codes and easier calling of destinations within and outside of the Caribbean.
The 868 area code is assigned to the easternmost Caribbean island countries and territories, including the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, and the British Virgin Islands. All telephone numbers in Trinidad and Tobago must be prefixed with 868 if a caller is making a local call or an international call. When dialing an 868 number from the U.S., the caller must start with the exit code of 011 followed by the country code of 868 and the 7 digit local number. 868 also serves as an international country code, which allows people to have a unique identification number when making international calls. It is essential for callers to dial the correct number, as the NANP does not support the prefixing of 0s when dialing inter-area or international calls.
