Jamaica numbering plan & how to dial
Jamaica uses an open numbering plan under country code +1-876. After the country code, a 3-digit area or mobile prefix is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, giving a 10-digit national number. Domestic numbers are often written with a leading trunk "0" that is omitted when dialing Jamaica from abroad.
Jamaica has 55% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Flow Jamaica, Digicel Jamaica, Liberty Latin America). VoIP is permitted and regulated by OUR (Office of Utilities Regulation). The local currency is JMD and the primary language is English, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Numbering across the Americas mixes the North American Numbering Plan (+1) with national E.164 plans, so mobile and fixed-line prefixes vary from country to country.
Skipping the exit code
Reaching Jamaica from the US requires the 011 exit code ahead of +1-876 — skip it and the call won't connect.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Jamaica number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +1-876 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
UTC-5 governs local business hours in Jamaica; confirm the time there before placing the call.

FAQ
Calling Jamaica — frequently asked questions
Dial 011 (US exit code), then 1876 (the Jamaica country code), then the area or mobile prefix and subscriber number. Drop any leading domestic trunk 0 — that digit is only used for calls placed from inside Jamaica itself.
Twiching rates to Jamaica start at $0.018/min, and calls back from Jamaica to the US start at $0.014/min. Both directions are billed per second rather than rounded up to the nearest minute, on Tier-1 routes throughout.
The major networks in Jamaica are Flow Jamaica, Digicel Jamaica, Liberty Latin America. Twiching interconnects with Tier-1 carriers for direct delivery to these networks, rather than routing through cheaper wholesale transit that can degrade call quality.
Yes. VoIP is permitted in Jamaica, regulated by OUR (Office of Utilities Regulation), so businesses can run cloud numbers and SIP termination on compliant routes. There's no special licensing hurdle for a Twiching customer to clear before calling or texting into Jamaica.
The US exit code is 011 for any international call, including to Jamaica. It comes right before the +1-876 country code, and Twiching adds both automatically when you dial from the app, so you only need to enter the local number.
Calls from Jamaica to the US start at $0.014/min on Twiching, billed per second rather than rounded up to the minute. That rate applies regardless of which of the major local carriers the call originates on.
