How numbers in Suriname are built
A number in Suriname is the country code +597 followed by a national number of 6 or 7 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 741-2345, an example mobile number in Suriname is dialed as +597 741 2345 from abroad.
There's no leading digit to leave out: dial the full local number after the country code.
Why a call to Suriname fails to connect
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 597 as the start of a number in the Netherlands, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Suriname has 6 or 7 digits after +597.
Best time to call
Suriname is 4 h behind the Netherlands. When it is 12:00 in the Netherlands, it is 08:00 in Suriname.
That gap moves between 4 h and 5 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
The Netherlands changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
The Netherlands moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
Suriname does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC-3 all year.
The weekend in Suriname is Saturday and Sunday.

| Business hours, 09:00–18:00 in both | 13:00–18:00 | 09:00–14:00 |
