Area code 264

Not to be confused with telephone country code 264 for Namibia.

Area code 264 is the telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) of Anguilla. The area code was created in a split of the original numbering plan area in the Caribbean (809). 264 was chosen because it spells ANG -- the first three letters of the name of the nation -- on a telephone keypad.

In Anguilla, a local telephone number is dialed using the seven digits of the directory number. Calls from other NANP countries, including the United States, require dialing the long-distance trunk prefix (1), the area code and the seven-digit number.

Prior to the 1990s, subscribers in Anguilla dialed just three digits for a local call, and had the only four-digit national number in the 809 area code: 4972.^{[citation needed]}
