What is the Jamaica country code?

Everything you need to dial a Jamaica number correctly from a UK phone.

+1 876

The Jamaica country code is +1 876. Dialling from the UK? Use 001876 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.

How to dial a Jamaica number from the UK

Jamaica uses the North American Numbering Plan, sharing the +1 country code with the US and Canada — dial 001, then 876 (Jamaica's area code), then the 7-digit local number. No leading zero to drop, and mobiles follow the same format as landlines.

Example: Kingston: 001 876 + 7-digit number. Mobiles follow the same 001 876 + 7-digit format.

00 or +? Either works

Typing +1 876 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 001876 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
