The area code of Bhutan is +975. This code was introduced on 1 January 1966 when Bhutan switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +975 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 Bhutan from abroad. Check programingplease for Bhutan in 2010.
