Number details

What to check before using the 52 country code

Country codes are only one part of an international phone number. Exit codes, area codes, mobile prefixes, and local numbering rules can change how the final number should be dialed.

Exit code or plus format

On a mobile phone, the plus sign usually replaces exit codes such as 00 or 011. From a landline, use the international access code for the country you are calling from, then 52.

Country calling code, dial code, or prefix

People may call 52 the Mexico country code, country calling code, phone code, dial code, or international prefix. In each case, use +52 before the rest of the Mexico number.

Mobile phone or landline

After +52, the next digits may be an area code, mobile prefix, service prefix, or local number. Check whether you are calling a mobile phone or landline because rates can differ.

Mexico country code +52

Mexico country code, Mexico phone code, Mexico area code, Mexico calling code, Mexico dialing code, Mexico telephone code, Mexico international code, Mexico code number, country code to call Mexico, codigo telefonico de Mexico, code phone Mexico, 52 country code, and 0052 country code searches all refer to +52.

Use the 10-digit national number

Mexico uses a 10-digit national number for landline and mobile calls. From outside Mexico, dial +52 followed by those 10 digits; the older +52 1 mobile format is no longer needed.
