876 and the one-ring scam
Because 876 looks like a US area code, it is a favourite of "one-ring" (wangiri) scams: the phone rings once, you call back, and the call is billed as international — sometimes with premium per-minute charges that go to the scammer.
If you do not know anyone in Jamaica, do not call back a missed 876 call. Look the number up first, and ask your carrier to block outgoing international calls if you never make them.
About area code 876
876 entered service on May 1, 1997, when it was split from 809.
It is part of the 658/876 overlay: the codes cover the same area, and a new line there can be given a number in any of them. Two neighbours — or two phones in one household — can have different area codes. That is also why local calls need the full ten digits.
As the region grew, 658 was carved out of or added to 876.
