Frequently Asked Questions
What is the way to call Mexico from the US?
Enter 011 + 52 + the 10-digit phone number. The same sequence works for landlines and mobiles, and there is no longer any need to put a '1' after the 52 for mobiles.
Which option is cheapest for calling El Salvador?
VoIP providers such as Intercalling come in well below traditional carriers and calling cards on price. El Salvador mobiles and landlines can be reached for just pennies per minute.
Does my plan already cover Central America calls?
Typically no. The major US carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) bill extra for international calls to Central America unless you have signed up for a particular add-on package.
Is a country code needed for Costa Rica?
Yes. Costa Rica uses the country code +506, so you dial 011 + 506 + the 8-digit phone number.
