Jamaica new area code

As of October 2021, Jamaica has a new area code, which is 876. This new area code replaces the previous area code, 809, which was used for international calls to Jamaica.

Here are some key points to note about the new area code:

1. The new area code 876 is effective for all international calls to Jamaica, including calls from the United States, Canada, and other countries.
2. The old area code 809 is no longer valid for international calls to Jamaica.
3. Local calls within Jamaica remain unchanged, and the old area code 876 is still used for local calls.
4. The new area code 876 is used for all international calls to Jamaica, including calls to mobile phones, landlines, and business numbers.
5. The new area code 876 is also used for calls to Jamaica's international dialing codes, such as +1-876 for international calls to Jamaica.

It's worth noting that the new area code 876 is not a new country code, but rather a new area code for Jamaica. The country code for Jamaica remains +1, which is the same as the country code for the United States and Canada.

If you're planning to make an international call to Jamaica, you'll need to use the new area code 876. For example, if you're calling a friend in Jamaica, you would dial +1-876-555-1234, where 555-1234 is the local phone number in Jamaica.
