How to Call Jamaica Step-by-Step
Since Jamaica is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), calling is as simple as dialing another US state.
Dial "1"
Start by dialing 1.
Do NOT dial 011.
(Just like calling New York or California)
Area Code
Dial the 3-digit area code.
876 (Most common)
658 (New overlay)
7-Digit Number
Enter the 7-digit subscriber number.
Example: 1 876 555 1234
Common Mistake: Dialing 011
Many people mistakenly dial 011 before calling Jamaica because it is an international destination. However, because Jamaica shares the same phone system as the US (NANP), dialing 011 will often result in a failed call.
