French Polynesia's calling code
The international calling code for French Polynesia is +689. Use it when you call a French Polynesian telephone number from outside the territory.
The code covers French Polynesia as a single destination. In the standard list of country calling codes, French Polynesia has its own entry, separate from France. This means a call to a French Polynesian number uses 689, not France's country code.
How to dial a French Polynesian number from abroad
An international call to French Polynesia has three parts, dialed in this order:
- 1. Your international access prefix: the exit code used by the country or network you are calling from.
- 2. The country code: 689.
- 3. The subscriber number: the local French Polynesian number you want to reach.
[INTERNATIONAL ACCESS PREFIX] 689 [SUBSCRIBER NUMBER]
Written in international format:
+689 [SUBSCRIBER NUMBER]In international notation, the plus sign stands for the access prefix of whatever location the call starts from. A number written as +689 followed by the subscriber number can therefore be shared with callers in any country.
Details you need to check before dialing
This guide does not state a single exact dialing sequence because some details were not available from the supplied evidence:
- Your calling location: no origin was specified, so this guide cannot say which international access prefix you should dial. Check the exit code that applies to your country or telephone provider.
- Subscriber number length and format: the source used for this guide confirms the country code only. It does not confirm how many digits French Polynesian numbers have or how they are grouped.
- Trunk prefix: the source does not say whether a domestic trunk prefix exists or must be dropped when calling from abroad. If the number you were given starts with a domestic prefix, confirm with the recipient or your provider before removing any digits.
- Historical changes: the source reflects the current list of calling codes. It does not cover earlier numbering arrangements, so older numbers in directories or records may not match the current format.
If you are unsure about any of these points, ask the recipient for the number in full international format, starting with +689. That format removes most of the guesswork.
