Frequently asked questions
Which country has the +240 country code?
+240 is the calling code of Equatorial Guinea; no other country uses it.
Is +240 a country code or an area code?
+240 is a country code: it is dialed first to reach Equatorial Guinea from another country. Area codes come after the country code and only pick a region inside the country. Don't confuse it with US area code 240 (Rockville (MD)): US area codes come after +1, so a number that starts with +240 is an international call, not a US number.
Is 00240 the same as +240?
Yes. +240, 00240 and 00 240 are the same code for Equatorial Guinea: 00 is the exit code dialed from a landline in most countries, and + replaces it on a mobile. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011, so it becomes 011 240.
