Dialing Tips

  • Keep every digit: Mexico numbers have no trunk prefix, so dial them after +52 exactly as they are written locally.
  • Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +52 instead of 011 52.
  • Verify the number length: Numbers in Mexico have 10 digits after +52. If your call does not connect, check that no digit is missing or doubled.
  • Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +52 prefix so they work from any country.
