FAQ

Questions about calling Cocos Islands, answered.

Everything a business or traveller needs to know before dialling Cocos Islands (+61). Can't find an answer? Our team is one click away.

Q1.What is the country code for Cocos Islands?
Cocos Islands's international calling code is +61. Dial it immediately after your exit prefix and before the local subscriber number whenever calling from outside Cocos Islands.
Q2.What is the best time to call Cocos (Keeling) Islands?
Tuesday–Thursday, 9:00–11:00 AM CCT (UTC+6:30) is the window. The Cocos Islands run on Cocos Islands Time — a rare UTC+6:30 offset with no daylight saving. The population is tiny (around 600 people); most business is conducted through the Australian government administration.
Q3.How do I call a number in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands?
The Cocos Islands use Australian numbering — dial +61 8 9162 then the 4-digit extension. The remote location means calls route through satellite links; expect a slight delay and confirm your contact's schedule before calling.
Q4.How do I call a mobile number in Cocos Islands?
Dial + 61 followed by the mobile number — there is no leading 0 when calling internationally. Note that calling a Cocos Islands mobile from abroad may cost more per minute than calling a landline, depending on your plan.
Q5.What is the + sign for when dialling Cocos Islands?
The + replaces your local international exit code. When you call Cocos Islands using +61, your carrier automatically substitutes the correct exit prefix (00 in Europe, 011 in North America, 0011 in Australia) before the call goes out.
