How to Call a Landline in Guyana
Calling a Guyanese landline from the United States (USA) is straightforward. Guyana uses a unified 7-digit numbering system without separate area codes for dialing purposes.
- Dial the US exit code: 011
- Dial Guyana's country code: 592
- Dial the 7-digit Guyanese phone number: [Local Number]
For example, to call the Guyanese number 225 4567, you would dial: 011 592 225 4567.
Guyanese phone numbers consist of the country code (592) followed directly by a 7-digit number.

How to Call a Mobile Phone in Guyana
Calling a Guyanese mobile phone from the United States (USA) follows a similar format, using the 7-digit number which typically starts with a '6'.
- Dial the US exit code: 011
- Dial Guyana's country code: 592
- Dial the 7-digit mobile number (usually starting with 6): [Mobile Number]
For example, to call the Guyanese mobile number 612 3456, you would dial: 011 592 612 3456 from the USA.
Just like landlines, mobile numbers in Guyana are dialed as 011 + 592 + 7-digit number.

Mobile Phone Networks in Guyana
Guyanese mobile numbers are part of the 7-digit national numbering plan and typically begin with the digit '6'. The format for calling a mobile phone from the USA is: 011 + 592 + 6XX XXXX.
The main mobile operators in Guyana are:
- GTT (Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company)
- Digicel Guyana
Number portability allows subscribers to keep their phone number when changing providers, so the starting digits (e.g., 6XX) do not definitively indicate the current network operator.
Time Difference in Guyana
Guyana operates on Guyana Time (GYT), which is UTC-4 year-round. Guyana does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
This means the time difference with the United States (USA) varies depending on whether the US is on Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time (DST - approx. mid-March to early November):
US Eastern Time (ET): Guyana is 1 hour ahead of EST (US Standard Time) and the same time as EDT (US DST).
(Example: 9 AM EST is 10 AM GYT; 9 AM EDT is 9 AM GYT)
US Central Time (CT): Guyana is 2 hours ahead of CST and 1 hour ahead of CDT.
US Mountain Time (MT): Guyana is 3 hours ahead of MST and 2 hours ahead of MDT.
US Pacific Time (PT): Guyana is 4 hours ahead of PST and 3 hours ahead of PDT.
(Example: 9 AM PST is 1 PM GYT; 9 AM PDT is 12 PM GYT)
Always double-check the current time difference before calling, especially during the US DST transition months (March, November).
Guyana's Phone System
Guyana's telecommunications sector is primarily served by two major providers: GTT (Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company) and Digicel Guyana. Mobile phone usage is widespread, particularly in coastal and urban areas like Georgetown, Linden, and New Amsterdam, with expanding 4G LTE coverage. Fixed-line services, historically provided mainly by GTT, are available but less commonly used for personal communication compared to mobile. Internet access is improving, supporting VoIP and messaging apps, though connectivity can be less reliable in remote interior regions.
Best Times to Call Guyana
Considering Guyana is UTC-4 year-round, finding a convenient time to call from the USA is relatively easy, especially from the East Coast.
Typical business hours in Guyana are Monday to Friday, around 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM GYT (UTC-4).
From the US East Coast (ET):
- During US Standard Time (EST), Guyana is 1 hour ahead. Calling between 9 AM and 4 PM EST works well (10 AM to 5 PM GYT).
- During US Daylight Time (EDT), Guyana is the same time. Calling during standard US business hours (9 AM to 5 PM EDT) aligns directly with Guyanese hours (9 AM to 5 PM GYT).
