869 area code summary
Area code 869 is assigned to the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean. As part of the North American Numbering Plan, it enables direct dialing from the U.S., Canada, and other NANP countries without international codes. This dual-island nation is known for its tourism-based economy, offshore financial services, and growing interest in citizenship-by-investment programs. Basseterre, the capital, is the main business and government center. 869 was designated in 1996, splitting from the 809 area code to give Saint Kitts and Nevis its unique identifier. The use of a NANP-compatible number makes communication between the islands and major markets more seamless. Local businesses, resorts, and government services benefit from this easy accessibility, while the area code itself signals an association with a peaceful, tropical, and economically progressive destination in the Caribbean.
Fun fact 💡
Basseterre’s Brimstone Hill Fortress, since 1690, is a 869 UNESCO site.
