Does the same apply to places like Bermuda, Guam and Trinidad which are in the North American +1 area?

I've wondered how that works. In other countries / continents, it's clear when I'm calling a foreign number as the prefix is different. It's also common that different costs are reflected in the local number, like British numbers beginning 07 being mobile phones; it costs more to call one from a basic landline.

Does calling Bermuda cost the same as calling New York?




Bermuda looks to be slightly under 4 cents per minute, Guam is 2 cents per minute, Trinidad is around 20 cents per minute. I've yet to see any provider include these area codes in their NANPA ratedecks, so presumably they won't route them as NANPA numbers (yet to test that though). I know for wireless carriers, callback fraud where a Trinidad number will call you briefly to make it look like you missed a call and thus call back is quite popular. I'd assume the fraudsters are getting a revenue cut on inbound calls...
