Why a call to Jamaica fails
Jamaica shares its code with the US and Canada
A call from the US or Canada needs no exit code. Dial 1, then 876 or 658, then the seven-digit number, the same as a long-distance call.
Not every Caribbean neighbor shares this code
The NANP groups the US, Canada, and only some Caribbean countries. From any other country, dial your own exit code, then +1, the same as any other international call.
