The numerical prefixes utilized for telephone communication within the island state consist of a three-digit identifier. This identifier, when dialed before a seven-digit local number, connects callers to recipients within the defined geographic region. As an example, initiating a call to a number within this region requires preceding the local number with the designated prefix.
The implementation of these numerical identifiers streamlines telecommunications by distinctly delineating geographical service areas. This system enables efficient routing of calls, minimizing misdirection and facilitating rapid connection times. Its historical implementation has been crucial in supporting the growth of communication infrastructure throughout the state, allowing residents and businesses to maintain contact across the islands and with the wider world.
