The 242 area code was created as a split from the original 242 that once covered all of Bahamas. Today, 242 is exclusively tied to Bahamas, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Nassau – the bustling heart of the country
Freeport – the vibrant, diverse city
West End – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 242 has represented Bahamas pride, offering the best of island life with fast access to all islands.
The 242 area code operates in the Eastern Standard Time (EST)–the same time zone as Bahamas. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 242 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time.
The 242 area code covers all of Bahamas, including:
Nassau
Freeport
West End
and many more.
Getting a 242 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Bahamas’ busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.

"Using this virtual phone number for my online shopping has been a lifesaver because I can keep my personal number private while getting all my deliveries without any hassle. It's also super convenient for signing up on dating apps since I don't have to worry about sharing my real number."
