Hawaii, the Aloha State, is a tropical paradise renowned for its lush rainforests, volcanic landscapes, and rich Polynesian heritage. Comprising eight major islands, Hawaii offers world-class surfing, unique biodiversity, and a deep cultural identity shaped by Native Hawaiian traditions and global influences. Its geographic isolation also makes it one of the most ecologically and culturally distinct states in the U.S.

In terms of telecommunications, Hawaii uses a single area code: 808, introduced in 1957. This area code serves the entire state—from Honolulu on Oʻahu to the Big Island, Maui, and remote islands—simplifying communications across the archipelago. Despite its growing tourism industry and military presence, the state’s relatively small population has allowed it to retain 808 without the need for overlays or splits. The 808 area code is now synonymous with Hawaiian pride and digital identity.
