This code was introduced on 1 January 1966 when Barbados switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +1-246 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into Barbados from abroad. Check programingplease for Barbados in 2010.
