Phones
Most hotel rooms have a phone , and phone booths litter the island; the latter accept phonecards only, available from hotels, post offices and gift-shops. The cheapest and easiest way to make international and local calls is to buy a Worldtalk calling card; they can be used from public, private and hotel phones for both international and local calls All Jamaican telephone numbers (except some freephone ones) have seven digits . To dial locally (within the same parish), simply key in the number. To get a number in another parish, prefix the number with "1"; you also use the "1" prefix when dialling mobile (cellular) numbers. To phone abroad from Jamaica, dial 00 + IDD country code + area code minus first 0 + number. For domestic and international directory assistance phone 114. The country code for Jamaica is 876.
