Ascension Island is also part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, but it has a separate calling code and numbering scheme.

2013 change to numbering plan

From 1 October 2013, all existing 4-digit telephone numbers on St Helena were to be prefixed by a '2' to move from a 4-digit to a 5-digit numbering plan.[1] The change in numbering resulted from an increased demand for new telephone services and also provided a platform for the future introduction of a cellular network on the island.[2]

Tristan da Cunha
