Calling Nicaragua from United States: what to know

Nicaragua answers on the country code +505, with the capital in Managua and most business concentrated around Managua and Mobile. The working language for business is Spanish, and local offices generally keep hours of 08:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday.

From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +505 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United States and Nicaragua.

Most mobiles in Nicaragua sit on operators such as Claro, Tigo. Nicaragua uses a closed 8 digit plan; mobiles begin with 5, 7 or 8.

Nicaragua runs on UTC minus 6, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
