In 1958, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) assigned area code 809 for telephone communication services in Bermuda and the Caribbean islands.
Cuba, Haiti, the Netherlands Antilles, and the French West Indies decided not to participate in the North American Numbering Plan.
Beginning with Bermuda in November 1994, and The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Barbados in 1995, several countries in the Caribbean requested individual area code assignments from the NANPA, effectively splitting area code 809.
