History
Creation: Area code 758 was assigned to Saint Lucia and went into service on July 1, 1996, as one of the 172nd-batch area codes in the NANP. It was created by splitting Saint Lucia out of the shared Caribbean area code 809. The digits 7-5-8 spell ‘SLU’ on a telephone keypad, a mnemonic for St. Lucia. The permissive dialing period during which 809 could still be used ended on January 1, 1997.
Predecessor: Before 758, numbers in Saint Lucia used 809.

How to call Saint Lucia
No 011 prefix needed — Saint Lucia is part of the NANP, so calls dial like a domestic North American number. Long-distance and roaming charges still apply.
Use your country's international access code (00 in most of Europe, 0011 in Australia), then 1, the 758 area code, and the local number.
Domestic calls use seven digits — no area code prefix needed.
