The definitive guide on how to dial to Mexico

Starting today, November 4, 2006 there are changes on how to dial to cellular phones in Mexico.

The program called “El que llama paga”, which means “whoever calls, pays for the call”, allows you to call any cellular phone in Mexico and the recipient of the call does not have to pay. Previously the cost of the call was shared between both parties.

If calling Mexico from out of the country (International long distance):

• To a fixed landline phone: the exit code of the country (in the USA - “011″) + 52 + area code + telephone number

• To a Mexican cellular phone: the exit code of the country (in the USA - “011″) + 52 + 1 + area code + telephone number

If in Mexico, calling from a fixed landline phone to a Mexican cellular phone
