Two Dialing Formats for the Islands

How you dial comes down to one thing, whether the island sits inside the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) or not.

NANP Islands

Covers Jamaica, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Barbados, and more.

Dialing Format
1 + Area Code + Number
Warning: Skipping 011 does not make it cheap. Carriers still bill these at international rates.

International Islands

Covers Aruba, Curacao, Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and more.

Dialing Format
011 + Country Code + Number
These follow the usual international dialing rules.

That "Local Number" Costs Real Money
Pay Pennies Instead

A number in Jamaica or the Bahamas looks just like a US one (for example, 876-555-0199), so people assume their domestic plan covers it. It does not, and carriers often charge $1-$3 per minute. Intercalling bills a small per minute rate instead.

  • Up to 90% cheaper than carrier international rates
  • Reach any Caribbean mobile or landline
  • Transparent pricing with no surprise connection fees
  • Crisp call quality across the ocean cables

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Puerto Rico call count as international?

No. Puerto Rico (787/939) and the US Virgin Islands (340) are US territories, and most major US cell plans treat calls there as domestic. The rest of the Caribbean, though, is billed as international.

What is the format to call Jamaica from the US?

Punch in 1 + 876 + the 7-digit number. It dials like a long-distance call inside the US, yet your carrier rates it as an international call.

What is the cheapest way to call the Dominican Republic?

A VoIP option like Intercalling costs far less than AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You skip their steep per-minute charges and pay only a small fraction with transparent pay as you go pricing.

Do I have to dial 011 for the Bahamas?

No. The Bahamas sits in the North American Numbering Plan with area code 242, so you just dial 1-242 and then the number.

Calling the Caribbean from the USA in Your Browser

In short

You can call the Caribbean from the USA straight from your browser with Intercalling, no app download, SIM card, or phone number required. Outbound calls are pay as you go and billed per minute, so you only pay for what you talk. It works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox on any laptop or phone.

How to call the Caribbean from the United States

Open Intercalling in any modern browser, allow microphone access, and dial the full international number. For Caribbean destinations you use country code 1 plus the area code, for example 1 876 for Jamaica, 1 809 or 1 829 for the Dominican Republic, 1 868 for Trinidad and Tobago, and 1 246 for Barbados. There is nothing to install and no SIM to swap.

Because outbound calling needs no phone number of its own, you can place a call within minutes of opening the page. Billing is pay as you go and charged per minute, which suits occasional calls to family or short business conversations across the islands.

Privacy and reception of calls

Every call is end to end encrypted, so conversations between the USA and the Caribbean stay private. This matters for business calls, legal or financial discussions, and anyone who simply prefers not to expose a personal mobile number.

If you also want people in the Caribbean or anywhere else to call you back, you can add a US or Canada digital number for about $2.14 to $5 per month. The number lets you receive inbound calls in the same browser tab you use for outbound dialing.
