Area code 758 is the telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for Saint Lucia. The area code represents the alphabetic sequence SLU on the alphanumeric telephone dial. The numbering plan area (NPA) was created by a split from the original NPA 809, which began permissive dialing on 1 July 1996 and ended 1 January 1997.[https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22Area+code+758+took+effect+in+Saint+Lucia+on+July+1%2C+1996%2C+as+a+result+of+the+split+of+the+809+area+code.+Permissive+dialing+will+allow+callers+to+continue+using+809+until+January+1%2C+1997%22 FaxUSA: A Directory of Facsimile Numbers for Businesses and Organizations Nationwide], Omnigraphics, 1997, page viii
