Area codes and dialing in U.S. Virgin Islands
U.S. Virgin Islands is one of the few US states still covered by a single area code, 340. Because there's no overlap, many local calls can still be completed with seven digits, although dialing the full 10-digit number always works and is the safer habit. 340 serves Charlotte Amalie and the rest of the state, all in the Atlantic Time zone.
If U.S. Virgin Islands ever exhausts its supply of numbers, regulators would almost certainly add an overlay rather than split the state — the modern approach that lets everyone keep their existing number. For now, every U.S. Virgin Islands number shares the 340 code. Learn the background in how area codes work.
