Area code 264 split from 809

In the 1990s, area code 264 was created in a split from the original Caribbean numbering plan area 809. This split assigned a distinct area code to Anguilla, replacing the previous use of 809 for the territory. The code 264 was chosen because it spells 'ANG' on a telephone keypad, representing Anguilla.
