250 Mexico Area Codes -- Cell Phones
Mexican Area Codes
My searchable Mexican city area code locator will let you search for more than 250 Mexican area codes (lada) by Mexican city, Mexican state or area code number. Area codes (lada) in Mexico changed years ago and now all Mexican area codes are 3 digits, except for Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Below are the clave lada for more than 200 Mexican cities. Phone numbers are 7 digits everywhere except those cities, where the phone number has 8 digits. Thus all phone number in Mexico are 10 digits, just expressed differently. Got it? To dial another city in Mexico, put 01 before the number. If you're calling Mexico from your land line, you must not value your pesos.
Searchable area codes, Mexican state capitols, Cost of diesel and gasoline fuel in Mexico and more to come. There is a static list at the end of this page too.
Calling a cell phone in mexico
To dial a Mexican cell phone from outside Mexico, add a "1" before the number and after the 011-52 (the prefix for dialing Mexico from the USA). If a Mexican cell phone is 555 (city code) - 555-5555 (number), dial 01152-1-555-555-5555. Mexicans write phone numbers differently. They would write the phone number as 55-5-55-55555. To dial a Mexican cell phone in the same city, put 044 before the number. To dial a cell phone in another Mexican city, put 045 before the cell number.

To make phone calls from Mexico to the rest of the world (or other cities in Mexico) if you don't have a cell phone, the most reliable method is to use a calling card. Many expats use these cards instead of Telmex, whiich is rather expensive. The company below has several cards for calling from a pay phone in Mexico and each has its good points, so be sure to compare.
After you get the clave for the city you want, please continue to visit mexciomike.com for info on driving, living or working in Mexico as well as hot springs and touristic aspects of traveling in Mexico.

I hope this list of Mexican area codes and instructions on dialing Mexican cell phones is useful. If you get a Vonage VOIP phone, you will save a ton of money, whether you are living in Mexico or just calling Mexican phone numbers.
To get area codes for anywhere else in Mexico, see the Telmex site.
