    Connect

    [edit]

    By phone

    [edit]

    Most telephone numbers in Grand Rivers consist of +1 270 plus a seven-digit number, but the region is now served by an overlay complex of two area codes, with +1 364 as the second. A local or in-state telephone call now requires all 10 digits of the local number be dialed (omitting just the leading +1 from a local landline call).

    Signage on many established businesses may still display the original seven-digit numbers; dial 270 before these if no area code is indicated.
