Puerto Rico Calling Codes
Country Code +1
| Area Codes 787 and 939 |
| Puerto Rico is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). |
| As such it uses the country code of 1 which it shares with much of the Caribbean ... the US ... Canada and other places within the NANP. |
| In the late 1950s most islands in the Caribbean were assigned the area code of 809. |
| Due to tremendous growth in telecommunications in the mid-90s each island nation and territory was assigned its own area code within the NANP. Puerto Rico was originally assigned the area code of 787; |
| on 1 August 2001 the area code of 939 was added island-wide as an overlay code. |
