Jamaica is +1, not +876.
876 is an area code, not the country code. From the UK and Europe, leave out the 1 and the call never connects. From the US and Canada, it looks like a domestic call but is billed as international.

Two area codes, one island.
876 ran short, so Jamaica added 658 in 2018 and started handing out 658 numbers in May 2023. Both ring mobiles and landlines anywhere on the island, and both are dialled +1 and ten digits.
The last seven digits can repeat. A 658 number can share its last seven digits with an 876 number belonging to someone else, so always save the full ten digits.
Ten digits, even on the island. Since 31 March 2019 Jamaicans dial the area code for local calls too, so a number written with seven digits needs 876 or 658 in front.
