Area code 268
Area code 268 is the telephone prefix for Antigua and Barbuda in the Caribbean. The digits 2, 6, and 8 spell out ANT on the keypad, which stands for Antigua, the larger of the two main islands.
Area code 268 was introduced on April 1, 1996, replacing the shared area code 809 that had previously served all Caribbean countries and Bermuda. A one-year transition period allowed people to dial either the old or new code until it ended on March 31, 1997.
Within Antigua and Barbuda, you only need to dial 7 digits for local calls. From outside North America, dial 011 followed by 268 and the local number to reach someone on the islands.
