Calling Mexico from Canada: what to know

Mexico answers on the country code +52, with the capital in Mexico City and most business concentrated around Mexico City (CDMX), Guadalajara and Monterrey. The working language for business is Spanish, and local offices generally keep hours of 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 in many cities, the long lunch is real, and small businesses close entirely between 14:00 and 16:00.

From Canada the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +52 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 Canada and Mexico.

Most mobiles in Mexico sit on operators such as Telcel, AT&T México, Movistar México. Mexico dropped the '1' mobile prefix after October 2019 reform, '+52 55…' now works for mobiles where '+52 1 55…' used to be required, but some legacy international gateways still need the '1'.

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