Hawaii is served by a single area code, 808, which encompasses the entire state. Introduced in 1957, area code 808 was one of the original area codes established during the North American Numbering Plan. It replaced the earlier use of a combination of local numbering schemes and is notable for being the only area code serving a U.S. state that is entirely isolated by ocean, reflecting Hawaii's unique geographical characteristics.
As of the most recent estimates, Hawaii's population stands at approximately 1.4 million residents, with a diverse mix of ethnicities and cultures. This diversity influences telecommunications in the state, leading to adaptations in language and service delivery to meet the needs of the local populace. In addition to traditional telephone services, mobile usage is prevalent, with a significant proportion of residents relying on cellular technology for communication.
Hawaii's telecommunications landscape is also influenced by its geographic isolation from the mainland U.S. and other regions, necessitating reliance on undersea cables for internet and long-distance communication. This has inherent implications for service availability and technology adoption across the islands. With respect to telecommunication infrastructure, efforts continue to enhance connectivity and service quality in both urban and rural areas, ensuring that residents and businesses can maintain reliable communication channels amid the state's isolated setting.

Hawaii has 1 area codes (808). These area codes are split between cities or states, so if you want to call to Hawaii, you need to know exactly where you would like to call.
The first 3 digits to call Hawaii may vary depending on where you want to call to, being one or the other depending on the region or city. Take a look at our listing above to find out which area code you need.
Calling Hawaii from another state in the United States is considered a long-distance call. Here’s how to make the call: First, dial the area code for Hawaii. Each state, and sometimes specific cities within a state, has unique area codes. Then, enter the 7-digit phone number of the person or business you’re trying to reach. If you’re calling from a landline, check with your provider, as long-distance charges may apply. However, most mobile carriers in the U.S. offer nationwide calling without additional fees. Alternatively, you can use VoIP or internet-based calling apps, like Skype, Zoom, or WhatsApp, to bypass traditional long-distance charges. The number you want to reach should look like this: 1-(AreaCode)-111-2222.
When making calls within the United States, dialing +1 depends on several factors. On most modern mobile phones, carriers automatically recognize the country code when calling within the U.S., so dialing +1 is usually not required; you can simply enter the area code followed by the phone number, such as 213-555-1234. If you’re using a landline, dialing 1 (the U.S. country code) before the area code and phone number is often necessary for long-distance calls; for example, calling from one state to another may require dialing 1-213-555-1234. When calling the U.S. from another country, dialing +1 is necessary, so a call from abroad would be formatted as +1-213-555-1234. VoIP and internet-based calling platforms, like Skype and WhatsApp, generally handle country codes automatically, making it unnecessary to dial +1 manually for U.S. numbers.
