U.S. Virgin Islands area codes

1 active codes · NANPA NPA database, current as of July 28, 2026.

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.
