What is the Country code for Sint Maarten?

Answer 1

Sint Maarten, the Dutch southern half of the island of St. Martin in the Caribbean, is now part of the North American Numbering Plan, using country code +1 along with the USA and Canada and some other islands. Sint Maarten uses area code +1 721. All local numbers are 7 digits long, and at present all numbers begin with '5'.

Calling from the US, Canada, or other islands in the NANP, dial "one plus," just like a domestic long-distance call, although international rates will apply.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Note that the French northern half of the island is in international country code +590.

Answer 2

The Caribbean island of St. Martin is divided between France and the Netherlands.

The French northern half of the island, known in French as Saint-Martin, uses international telephone country code +590.

The Dutch southern half of the island, known in Dutch as Sint Maarten, uses North America's telephone country code +1, with area code +1 721.

Although calls from the USA, Canada, and other parts of the North American area code zone, to Sint Maarten are dialed "one plus," the same as domestic calls, international call charges will apply.

Answer 3

The French overseas department of Martinique (in the Caribbean Sea) uses country code +596. All landline numbers are of the form +596 596 xxx xxx, and mobile numbers are of the form +596 696 xxx xxx.

From metropolitan France, dial 0596 or 0696 plus the remaining six digits. Although the call is dialed the same way as a call within metropolitan France, substantially higher call charges may apply.
