U.S. Virgin Islands area codes
The table below lists every active U.S. Virgin Islands area code with its coverage, service date and prefix count.
Geographically the map reads: 340 (Chtamstths). Each code page lists its full coverage down to individual rate centers.
Time zone is uniform across the state's codes: Atlantic.
A statewide single code is getting rare in the NANP — most states have long since added overlays. 340 still covers everything from Chtamstths to Frkstdstcr on one code.
As a NANP territory, U.S. Virgin Islands has used standard ten-digit US numbering since 1997 (340); no country code beyond +1 is needed to call it.
340, in service since 1997, anchors Chtamstths, carries 58 active prefixes across 4 rate centers, split among 11 carriers. It is the only area code serving U.S. Virgin Islands. It was created from 809. Local calls can still be dialed with seven digits — increasingly rare in the NANP.
Note that toll-free codes (800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, 888) sit outside this list — they have no geographic tie to U.S. Virgin Islands or anywhere else, and are assigned individually from the national SMS/800 registry.
As everywhere in the NANP: these codes say where numbers were issued, not where callers are. Per-code pages break coverage down to rate centers and prefixes.
| Code | Major area | In service | Overlay complex | Prefixes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 340 | Chtamstths | 1997 | — | 58 |
