Calling Colombia: 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.

Outbound calls on Intercalling need no phone number and no app. You place them from the browser, and you only add a US or Canada number when you also want to receive inbound calls.

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.
