Calling Jamaica from Canada: what to know

Jamaica answers on the country code +1-876/658, with the capital in Kingston and most business concentrated around Kingston and Montego Bay. The working language for business is English, Jamaican Patois, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:30 to 17:00.

From Canada the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +1-876/658 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Canada and Jamaica.

Most mobiles in Jamaica sit on operators such as Digicel Jamaica, Flow (Liberty Latin America). Jamaica is part of the North American Numbering Plan (+1) with area codes 876 and 658 (introduced 2018 as overlay).

Jamaica runs on UTC minus 5, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
