Suriname Country Code

How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Suriname

Suriname’s country calling code is +597. Suriname uses a compact numbering plan where fixed-line numbers are typically 6 digits and mobile numbers are typically 7 digits. From abroad, you dial your international exit code (or +), then 597, then the full local number: for example a Paramaribo fixed line can look like +597 40 XX XX (6 digits total after +597), while a mobile can look like +597 74X XXXX (7 digits total after +597). If you’re calling out of Suriname to another country, the official international prefix is 00 (and on smartphones, using + is usually easiest). 

Locally, you’ll most often dial the full local number as issued (6 digits for fixed, 7 digits for mobile). Official numbering references also list a national prefix 0, so some local systems or PBXs may present numbers with a leading 0 in domestic contexts—but for websites, contact books, and travelers, the cleanest and most consistent approach is to store Suriname numbers in E.164 format: +597 plus the full number. This avoids confusion between fixed vs mobile lengths and works reliably for roaming and messaging apps. 

What are the emergency numbers in Suriname
