As Jamaica (the island in the Caribbean) is not part of the United States or its territories, Jamaica would not be a participant in the United States Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP), which has been in effect in the US since 1963.

Postal Codes, more commonly known in Commonwealth Countries (or former), originated in the United Kingdom in 1959. The first introduction of a post code scheme originated in the Ukraine, under Soviet rule, in 1932.

The american ZIP scheme does apply to a number of international destinations. However, these are limited to military or US government destinations operating under US Military presence or control.

In Jamaica, there was once a postal code system, initiated as part of the Commonwealth Countries (Part of the British Empire).

Jamaica did plan to launch a Postal Code scheme, based on 'zones.' However, the scheme was suspended indefinitely in early 2007.

When calling America from Jamaica what's the ares code I should dial before the cell number?

I don't know what "ares code" is. If you mean the country code, the country code for countries in the NANP (the US, Canada, and a bunch of Caribbean islands, including Jamaica) is "1".However, that shouldn't matter, since you're calling from a country in the NANP to a country in the NANP. You should be able to dial it exactly as you would have had you been in the US (1 + area code + exchange + subscriber number).
