How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Jamaica?

Jamaica uses the North American Numbering Plan. The country code is +1 and Jamaica’s area codes are 876 and 658 (overlay). Within Jamaica you must dial 10 digits (area code + number) for all calls—mobile or landline. From the U.S./Canada, dial 1 876 (or 658) + seven digits. From elsewhere, dial your international access code (e.g., 00), then 1 876/658 + number. To call out of Jamaica to other countries, dial 011 + country code + number. Jamaica doesn’t have city-specific area codes—876 and 658 cover the whole island. Cities are often identified by exchange prefixes (NXX) after the area code. There’s no special pattern difference between mobiles and landlines—the format is the same.
