The set of digits employed to direct telephone calls to the British Virgin Islands is +1 284. When dialing internationally to reach a number on the islands, this prefix must be entered before the local number. For example, calling a number locally presented as XXX-XXXX would require dialing +1 284 XXX-XXXX from outside the region.
This numerical assignment facilitates global telecommunications by clearly identifying the British Virgin Islands within the international telephone network. Its consistent application ensures seamless connectivity for both inbound and outbound calls, vital for tourism, business, and maintaining connections with individuals abroad. The current designation reflects changes in international numbering plans implemented to accommodate the increasing demand for telephone services.
