Puerto Rico country dialling codes

If you are currently travelling abroad and wish to call home or intend on making international telephone calls to Puerto Rico, follow our simple step-by-step guide on how to make calls to Puerto Rico from outside of the country:

Country Code: Puerto Rico is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). Begin by dialling the international dialling code to exit your country and enter the international calling network, for North America this is “+1”.

Puerto Rico Country Code: After the international dialling code, you’ll need to enter the country code for Puerto Rico, which is “787”

Area Code: Since Puerto Rico is a relatively small island nation, it does not have a system of area codes for different towns. The single area code “787” covers the entire country.

When making calls to any town or location within Puerto Rico, you will start with the country dialling code for Puerto Rico (+1 787), followed by the relevant local phone number. There are no separate area codes within Puerto Rico.

Local Number: After entering the country code, dial the local phone number of the person or business you want to reach in Puerto Rico.

Call Button: Finally, press the call button on your phone or wait for the call to connect if you’re using a landline.

For example, if you were calling a local number within Puerto Rico, you would dial it as follows:

• International dialling code: “+1”
• Puerto Rico country code: “787”
• Local phone number: XXX XXXX (replace with the actual number)
• So, if the local number is 123 4567, you would dial: +1 787 123 4567

Remember to consider the time zone difference when making international calls, so you don’t call at inconvenient hours. Additionally, be aware of any international calling rates that may apply, as these can vary depending on your service provider and the specific calling plan you have.

Always double-check the dialling codes and numbers before placing an international call to ensure that you connect successfully with your desired contact in Puerto Rico.
