Is a phone number required to place outbound calls?

Not at all. Outbound calls go out through Intercalling with no dedicated phone number to buy first.

Is it possible for people to call me back?

Yes. Pick up a US or Canada digital number, priced from $2.14 to $5/month, and inbound calls ring straight inside your browser.

Dialing Colombia, One Step at a Time

Work through these steps so every call goes through. Colombia has moved to a single 10-digit dialing format.

Exit Code

Press 011 when you call from a US landline.
From a mobile or from Intercalling, the + symbol does the same job.

Country Code (+57)

Enter 57, the country code that belongs to Colombia.

New Area Code

Don't skip this: landlines now require the 3-digit code that begins with 60 (for example 601).
Mobiles stay simple, so just dial the 10-digit number.

Heads Up: The "60" Code Switch

The former short codes (such as just '1' for Bogota) have been retired. You now place '60' in front of the old region code.

Calling Colombia from United States: what to know

Colombia answers on the country code +57, with the capital in Bogotá and most business concentrated around Bogotá, Medellín and Cali. The working language for business is Spanish, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:00 to 17:00 or 9:00 to 18:00 depending on city. Medellín's tech sector skews later.

From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +57 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 Colombia.

Most mobiles in Colombia sit on operators such as Claro Colombia, Movistar Colombia, Tigo Colombia. Colombia restructured its area codes in 2022, all geographic numbers are now 10 digits including a region prefix (Bogotá 601, Medellín 604, etc.), abolishing the old '+57 1 xxx xxxx' Bogotá pattern.

Colombia runs on UTC minus 5, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
