History
Creation: Area code 767 was assigned to the Commonwealth of Dominica and went into service on October 1, 1997, as the 218th area code in the NANP and one of 43 codes introduced that year. It was carved out of the shared Caribbean area code 809 to give Dominica country-specific numbering resources. The digits 7-6-7 spell ‘ROS’ on a telephone keypad, a mnemonic for Roseau, Dominica's capital. A permissive dialing period ended September 30, 1998.
Predecessor: Before 767, numbers in Dominica used 809.
Mnemonics: The digits 767 map to letter combinations on the standard telephone keypad, yielding 48 possible three-letter mnemonics. Telecom regulators sometimes pick one of these as a marketing handle (e.g. ‘BHA’ for The Bahamas, ‘TNT’ for Trinidad and Tobago).

How to call Dominica
No 011 prefix needed — Dominica 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 767 area code, and the local number.
Domestic calls use seven digits — no area code prefix needed.
