A market we serve

Local numbers in the Virgin Islands.

The same phone system, with a number your customers on Tortola or St Thomas recognise. The two area codes are forty minutes apart by ferry and do not carry quite the same things, so each gets a page of its own.

Side by side

What each area code carries

Everything else about the service — the call flows, the dashboards, the handsets, enhanced 911 — is the same on both.

Capability comparison between +1-340 (U.S. Virgin Islands) and +1-284 (British Virgin Islands) numbers. Each cell states its status in words.

Each page carries the sentence behind every one of these, because a chip is a summary and a decision needs the detail.

The detail

Pick the area code you need

  • St Thomas · St Croix · St John · Water Island

    A local +1-340 number, a full phone system behind it, and enhanced 911 from your registered service address. If you want customers on St Thomas, St Croix or St John to see a local number when you call them back, this is how you get one.

  • Tortola · Virgin Gorda · Anegada · Jost Van Dyke

    A +1-284 number gives a BVI business a local front door, and the whole wiTech Voice system sits behind it. What a 284 number can do is narrower than a 340 one, because of how the numbering plan is held — so this page says exactly which parts apply.

Not in the Virgin Islands? The service is not limited to them — start with numbers generally.
