Anguilla Country Code +1 264
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean and uses the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) country / area code +1 264. You’ll often see +1 264 on calls and messages from luxury resorts and villas, yacht charters and dive operators, government offices in The Valley, and service providers that work closely with clients in North America and Europe.
Phone numbers in Anguilla follow the familiar NANP pattern +1 264 NXX XXXX. Locally, people usually say just the 7-digit part, like 497-1234. For international calls, you add +1 264 in front, exactly like dialling a US state or Canadian province, but with 264 identifying Anguilla.
This guide explains how Anguilla’s +1 264 numbers are structured, how to dial them from the US, UK, Europe and other countries, how the America/Anguilla (UTC-4) time zone fits into your global schedules, and how to store and validate +1 264 contacts correctly in CRMs, booking systems and messaging platforms.
Don’t confuse: +1 264 Anguilla with nearby NANP Caribbean codes such as +1 268 Antigua and Barbuda, +1 284 British Virgin Islands or +1 340 U.S. Virgin Islands. All use +1, but each has its own 3-digit area code.

Anguilla phone number formats (+1 264)
Pattern: +1 264 XXX XXXX (NANP, 7-digit local)Anguilla follows the North American Numbering Plan, so numbers look like US or Canadian numbers but use the distinct code 264. The general pattern is:
- • +1 – common NANP country code.
- • 264 – Anguilla geographic code (often called the area code).
- • NXX-XXXX – 7-digit local subscriber number.
Locally, people typically dial and quote only the 7-digit local number; from other NANP countries, calls are placed as 1-264-XXX-XXXX. From the rest of the world, callers use their international access code followed by 1-264-XXX-XXXX.
For E.164 storage, strip spaces and punctuation and save numbers as
+1264 plus the 7-digit local part. For example, user input
497-1234, 264-497-1234 or +1 264 497 1234 can all be
normalised to +12644971234.

Time in Anguilla – America/Anguilla (UTC-4, generally no DST)
Anguilla uses the IANA time zone America/Anguilla, aligned with UTC-4. The territory typically does not observe daylight saving time, so local clock time stays stable across the year.
In practice this means:
- • Anguilla time usually matches or is close to Atlantic Standard Time (AST).
- • Relative to New York, Anguilla is typically 1 hour ahead in winter and the same time in US summer when New York is on daylight saving.
- • There is convenient overlap with UK and Western European working hours for tourism and business calls.
When building scheduling or notification features, store times in UTC and label local times with America/Anguilla. This ensures correct conversion if DST rules ever change in the future and keeps coordination clear for partners in cities like London, New York and Toronto.
