Calling Mexico From The US, Calling The US From Mexico, Cell To Landline, Landline To Cell and Everything In Between

The list below is a pretty thorough list, it includes, cell to landline, landline to cell, cell to cell, landline to landline and 800 numbers. If you are using your US cell to call Mexico, the numbers vary depending on whether you’re calling a Mexican landline or a Mexican cell phone…and whether you’re calling from within the US or within Mexico. The same goes for a Mexican cell phone, US landline and Mexican landline.

Right at the beginning it shows the toll free versions…the Mexican counterparts make more sense to me.

You should find what you need below:

To call a 1-800 number, you replace it with 001 880.
To call a 1-888 number, you replace it with 001 881
To call a 1-877 number, you replace it with 001 882
To call a 1-866 number, you replace it with 001 883.
To call a 1-855 number, you replace it with 001 884.
To call a 1-844 number, you replace it with 001 885.

From your US cell phone:

You can make calls from your U.S. cell phone to Mexican numbers while you are in Mexico. The most confusing thing about this is that some US companies have arrangements with local Mexican carriers (TELCEL or MOVISTAR for example). In this case, the Mexican carrier takes over and your cell phone becomes “Mexican,” so you will use the “from Mexico” option below. Other carriers have no arrangement with any Mexican company, so you’ll use the “from the U.S.” option below. Unless you have an international plan, it is not cheap to use your U.S. cell phone in Mexico, but some times it is necessary. Contact your cell phone company before leaving the U.S, or try to dial the following ways:

– To dial to a Mexican local or long distance landline number:
From the U.S: 011 52 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
From Mexico: 01 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

– To dial to a Mexican cell phone number:
From the U.S: Dial 011 52 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
From Mexico: Dial 01 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

– To dial to a U.S. phone number:
Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)

– To dial to a 1-800 U.S. number: (be aware: international rates will apply)
Dial 00 + 1 + 880 + phone number

– To a US cell phone while is in Mexico (some companies have that as default):
Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
