Dialing Jamaica in Three Simple Steps

Because Jamaica belongs to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), reaching it feels no different from calling another US state.

1

Dial "1"

Begin with 1.
Never dial 011.
(Exactly how you would reach New York or California)

2

Area Code

Add the three digit area code.
876 (Used most)
658 (Newer overlay)

3

7-Digit Number

Finish with the 7-digit subscriber number.
Example: 1 876 555 1234

A Common Slip: Adding 011

Plenty of callers tack on 011 before a Jamaican number, assuming the island is a standard overseas destination. Yet because Jamaica runs on the same phone system as the US (NANP), starting with 011 usually causes the call to fail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to dial 011 to reach Jamaica?

No. Jamaica sits inside the North American Numbering Plan, so you dial 1 + Area Code + Number, exactly like a domestic US call.

How do 876 and 658 differ?

876 is Jamaica's original area code, while 658 is an overlay added in 2018 to keep enough numbers available. Both are valid and cover the entire island.

Are calls to Jamaica included free in my US plan?

Usually not. Despite the identical dialing format, most US carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) add charges for Jamaica calls unless you carry a specific international add-on.

Can I reach Digicel phones in Jamaica?

Yes. Intercalling connects to any Digicel or FLOW mobile in Jamaica, and the dialing format stays the same: 1 + 876 (or 658) + Number.

Calling Jamaica from United States: 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 United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +1-876/658 then the local number. Intercalling 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 United States 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.
