## How to read a Colombia phone number

A Colombia number is +57 followed by 8 digits. Knowing which of those digits mark a mobile is what tells you what the call will cost before you place it.

Country code +57 Area or operator prefix 1 Local number 2345678

Inside Colombia, numbers are dialled with a leading 0. Drop it when calling from abroad — keeping it is the single most common reason an international call fails.

Mobile prefixes

Landline prefixes

1245678

Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived.

## Other American destinations, cheapest first

Rates vary by more than a factor of ten inside a single region, because each one is set by what the operator at the far end charges to accept the call. Costa Rica is currently the cheapest place we publish a rate for near Colombia.

## Frequently asked questions

What is the country code for Colombia?

The country code for Colombia is +57. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile).

What are the area codes for Colombia?

Colombia has 5 city area codes listed on this page, including Bogotá 1, Medellín 4, Cali 2. Dial the country code first, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number. The table above gives the full dial string for every city.

What does a Colombia phone number look like?

A Colombia number is written as +57 1 234 5678: the country code +57 followed by 8 digits. That total is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number with one digit missing is a typo rather than a shorter valid number.

How can I tell if a Colombia number is a mobile?

By its leading digits. In Colombia, a national number of 8 digits beginning with 3 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them.

Do I need to drop the leading 0 when calling Colombia?

Yes. Colombia uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls. When dialing internationally, drop the leading 0 from the local number.

How much does it cost to call Colombia?

Telvio charges $0.11/min to Colombia landlines and $0.11/min to mobiles. Billing is per second with no connection fees, so you pay only for the seconds you talk.
