About Grenada Calling Code
Every country has a unique international dialing prefix; for Grenada it is +1. The ITU assigns these codes under recommendation E.164. Dial +1 after your country's exit code, then the local subscriber number. Grenada is in North America.
The ITU-T E.164 recommendation standardizes international numbering, giving every country and territory a distinct prefix. Without the correct prefix, international calls cannot be routed to the right destination.
Where the +1 Calling Code Is Used
The country code +1 is assigned to Grenada, located in Caribbean, with the capital St. George's. This code is part of the international telephony numbering plan and is used for all calls made to Grenada from outside the country.
A number displayed as +1 … is in international format: +1 replaces the domestic trunk prefix. From abroad, always drop any leading 0 of the area code and dial +1 + area code + subscriber number.
Calling codes starting with 1 are part of the ITU's regional numbering plan for the area around Grenada, in Caribbean. When saving Grenada numbers internationally, write +1 followed by the area code without its leading 0 — this format works from every country.
The country code +1 is shared with United States, Canada, American Samoa, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Guam, Jamaica, Montserrat, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Maarten, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands. After dialing +1, the following digits (area code + subscriber number) route the call to the correct country, so you must always include the full national number.
Grenada Phone Number Formats
Numbers in Grenada use the standard E.164 pattern — +1, then the area code, then the subscriber number. The same layout applies to landlines and mobile phones:
📱 Number Structure
- International format: +1 [area code] [subscriber number]
- From abroad: exit code + +1 + local number (drop the trunk prefix 0)
- Within Grenada: dial the local number directly
In most countries, domestic numbers start with a trunk prefix (often 0) that must be omitted internationally: dial your exit code, then +1, then the local number as written without its leading zero.
