How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) with a single area code 284. From the U.S./Canada, dial 1 284 + the 7-digit number. From outside the NANP, dial your country’s exit code → 1 → 284 → the 7-digit number. Inside the BVI, local calls are just the seven digits; calls from the BVI to non-NANP countries use 011 + country code + number. There’s no trunk “0.”

Mobiles vs landlines: In NANP territories, mobiles and fixed lines share the same area code. In the BVI, both appear as +1 284 NXX-XXXX; the NXX block (first three digits after 284) indicates the original allocation (e.g., Flow, Digicel, CCT). Example formats: +1 284 494-XXXX (Flow fixed), +1 284 393-XXXX (Digicel mobile), +1 284 44X-XXXX (CCT mobile).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in British Virgin Islands

Dialing tip: Mobile and landline numbers look the same—always dial the full +1 284 NXX-XXXX (or 1 284 NXX-XXXX from the U.S./Canada). NXX shows original allocation; portability may mean the current network differs.

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
Flow (Cable & Wireless / Flow BVI)	common NXX blocks include 493–497 and 540–548, plus later blocks 852, 864–866, 869.
