Area Code 337 – Whim/Bloomfield/Liverpool/Rose Hall

Overview of Guyana Area Code 337

Area code 337 is a geographic destination code within the Guyana national numbering plan, assigned to the northeastern region of the country along the Atlantic coast. This code serves the communities of Whim, Bloomfield, Liverpool, and Rose Hall, all located in the county of Berbice, within the East Berbice-Corentyne administrative region. The area is known for its agricultural activity, particularly rice and sugarcane cultivation, and is part of the historic county of Berbice.

Geographically, this code covers a coastal strip that includes both rural settlements and small urban centers. Rose Hall is the largest town in the area and serves as a commercial hub for the surrounding villages. The region is connected by the public road network, with the town of New Amsterdam located to the southeast.

Dialing Format and Usage

When calling a landline number in the 337 area code from within Guyana, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. For example, to reach a number in Whim, one would dial 0 337 1234 (where 1234 is the local extension). From outside Guyana, callers must use the international access prefix (typically 00 or +), followed by Guyana's country code +592, then the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. Thus, an international caller would dial +592 337 1234.

All numbers within the 337 area code are seven digits long when dialed locally, including the area code. The local subscriber numbers are four digits, and the area code is three digits. There is no overlay in this region, so local calls within the same area code can be made using the seven-digit number without the trunk prefix.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within the 337 area code, simply dial the seven-digit number (e.g., 337 1234). For callers from other parts of Guyana, dial 0 followed by the seven-digit number (e.g., 0 337 1234). For international callers, dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US), then 592, then the seven-digit number (e.g., 011 592 337 1234).

It is important to note that Guyana uses a single country code for all fixed and mobile services, and the 337 code is exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services. Mobile numbers in Guyana begin with the digit 6 and are not tied to geographic regions.
