Jamaica now has an additional area code

Jamaica now has an additional area code: 658. And the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) says come May 31, 2018 dialing ten-digits will become mandatory for local calls — that is the three-digit area code plus the seven digit number. At present, callers do not have to dial the area code when making local calls. “This new code will be used in addition to and not as a replacement for the existing 876 area code, said OUR Director General Ansord Hewitt.
