Technical info on Mexico phone numbers
- Mexican phone numbers follow a standardized format and numbering plan regulated by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, or IFT).
- Country code: Mexico's country code is +52. To call a Mexican phone number from outside the country, you need to dial the international access code (e.g., 011 from the United States and Canada) followed by the country code (52).
- Numbering plan: The current numbering plan in Mexico is based on the ITU E.164 international numbering standard. As of August 3, 2019, Mexico has transitioned to a uniform 10-digit numbering format for both landline and mobile numbers.
- Number format: Mexican phone numbers are typically written as follows: +52 (AAA) NNN-NNNN, where:
- +52 represents the country code for Mexico
- AAA represents the 3-digit area code (formerly known as the long-distance code)
- NNN-NNNN represents the 7-digit local number
- Area codes: Mexico has approximately 370 area codes, which are assigned based on geographic location. Major cities and metropolitan areas have shorter area codes, while smaller cities and rural areas have longer ones. For instance, Mexico City has the area code 55, while Oaxaca has the area code 951.
- Mobile numbers: Mobile numbers in Mexico also follow the 10-digit format. Previously, mobile numbers had an additional "1" after the country code (e.g., +52 1 AAA NNN-NNNN), but this was removed during the 2019 numbering plan update. As a result, there is no longer a distinction between mobile and landline numbers in the numbering format.
- Special numbers: Mexico also has special numbers for emergency services, information services, and other non-geographic services
- Emergency numbers: 911 (Contact us directly to add emergency services to your mexico FlyNumber, additional fees apply)
- Toll-free numbers: 800 or 888, followed by a 7-digit number (e.g., 800-NNN-NNNN)
- Premium-rate numbers: 900, followed by a 7-digit number (e.g., 900-NNN-NNNN)
