876 area code summary

Area code 876 is used throughout Jamaica, one of the Caribbean’s most visited and culturally influential nations. Introduced in 1997 as a split from 809, 876 helped Jamaica establish a distinct telecommunication identity while remaining part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). This allows calls to and from Jamaica to be dialed like any U.S. or Canadian number. The area code is widely used in Kingston, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and other key cities and tourist destinations. Jamaica’s economy is driven by tourism, mining, agriculture, and a growing BPO/call center sector. 876 is well known internationally, but it has also been subject to scam-related misuse, making education and awareness important when handling calls. Despite that, the 876 area code still carries credibility and pride for Jamaican businesses and diaspora communities, offering a direct link to one of the region’s most vibrant cultures.
