Cheap Calls to Mexico — International Calling with Ringvoo

How to call Mexico from abroad

1. Start with your international exit code, or use + if your dialer accepts it.
2. Enter Mexico's country code, 52.
3. Add the 10-digit number. Do not insert 1, 01, 044, or 045.
4. In Ringvoo, enter +52 222 123 4567. This shows the format and is not an assigned line.

Mexico phone-number format

These are current 10-digit format examples. This numbering data accepts both as fixed-line or mobile, so the digit pattern alone does not tell those types apart.

Current Ringvoo calling rates

A mobile number is currently $0.1012/min. The catalog also lists a general destination rate of $0.0342/min, and it does not label that price as a landline. Both prices are indicative and depend on the number you dial.

The rate card shows a mobile price and a general destination rate when the catalog lists them. A landline price appears only when a landline rate is classified. Those prices are for the listed categories, not for every number in the country.

How to make a call using Ringvoo

1. Open Ringvoo in a browser such as Chrome, Safari, or Edge. There is no separate app to install.
2. Sign in and add pay-as-you-go credits. You pay for the minutes you use.
3. Enter the number in international form, such as +52 222 123 4567. That sample shows the format and is not an assigned line.
4. Read the rate shown for that number before you call. A mobile and a landline can have different rates.
5. Call from the browser. The person answers on a normal phone.

Mobile and landline format

In this numbering data, a Mexican number is 10 digits. 222 123 4567 is written internationally as +52 222 123 4567. 55 1234 5678 is written as +52 55 1234 5678. Both validate as fixed-line or mobile, so the format does not by itself say which one you are calling.

Older instructions added 1 after +52 for mobiles, or used 01, 044, or 045. This numbering data does not accept those prefixes. +52 1 222 123 4567, 044 55 1234 5678, and 01 55 1234 5678 are not current formats.

The rate card shows the current mobile price and the general destination rate when the catalog lists them. A landline price is listed only when the catalog classifies one. The rate for a specific number can still differ, so read the rate shown before you call.

Calling notes

Spanish is the main language. Cities people often call include Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. The numbering examples above are not labeled with those cities. The time zone in the existing destination notes is America/Mexico_City. A common business schedule is Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm CST. A common greeting is hola.

Common dialing problems

• Adding 1 after +52. The current form is +52 and the 10-digit number, as in +52 222 123 4567.
• Keeping an old 044, 045, or 01 prefix in the number.
• If the call does not connect, check that the number is 10 digits after +52 and that the account has credits. One failed attempt does not mean every call to Mexico will fail.
