Questions about +590
Which country is +590?
+590, or country code 590, belongs to Guadeloupe. The French part of Saint-Martin shares it too.
What is +590?
+590 is the part you dial before a Guadeloupe number when you call from another country. It replaces the first 0 of the number.
What is the difference between +590 and 00590?
The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in France and most of the world, so the 00590 country code and +590 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 590 instead.
Do I drop the 0 after +590?
Yes. The 0 is the trunk prefix and works only inside Guadeloupe. Dial +590 590 20 12 34, not +590 0590 20 12 34.
Can I text a +590 number?
Yes. Write the number as +590 without its first 0, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.
How much does it cost to call Guadeloupe?
A call to a Guadeloupe mobile costs more than a call to a landline. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.
Why doesn't Guadeloupe use +1 like other Caribbean islands?
Guadeloupe is a department of France. It uses the French numbering plan's own code, +590, instead of the North American +1 its neighbors share.
Does Guadeloupe have area codes for different cities?
No. Every Guadeloupe landline starts with 590 or 591, with no separate code for Basse-Terre, Pointe-à-Pitre, or any other town.
