History
Creation: Area code 784 was assigned to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on November 21, 1997 and went into service on June 1, 1998, as the 238th area code in the NANP. It was the final Caribbean territory to split from the shared 809 area code during the 1995–1999 fragmentation. The digits 7-8-4 spell ‘SVG’ on a telephone keypad, a mnemonic for St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The permissive dialing period ended on June 1, 1999.
Predecessor: Before 784, numbers in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines used 809.
Mnemonics: The digits 784 map to letter combinations on the standard telephone keypad, yielding 36 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).
