Phone numbers with the 787 area code prefix originate from the entire island of Puerto Rico.
Area code 787 was assigned to Puerto Rico on March 1, 1996, replacing the previous area code 809 . Due to the rapid exhaustion of 787 numbers, it was overlaid with area code 939 in or about September 2001. Both 787 and 939 now serve the same geographic region, and ten-digit dialing is required for all calls within this area.
The 787 area code covers all of Puerto Rico, including San Juan, Ponce, and Bayamón. Hotel reservation desks, Banco Popular fraud alert systems, and pharmaceutical manufacturing recruiters are among the most frequent callers.
