•
Local Dialing Information: As in Canada
and the U.S., long-distance
numbers in Mexico
have a 3-digit city code, followed by a 7-digit local number. For local calls
within your area code (376 for the Chapala-Ajijic area), use only the 7-digit number.
•
Long-Distance Dialing: When calling a ground line outside the
Chapala-Ajijic area (376), add 01 plus the city/area code before the 7-digit
number.
•
International Calls: To call the U.S.
and Canada,
use the long distance access code (001), then the area code and 7-digit local
number.
•
Operator Assistance: call 020 or 01-800-123-2223
•
Emergencies: Call 066 (equivalent to 911 in U.S.)
•
Cell Phone Calls: Lakeside ground
line-to-cell calls now require 045 before the area code and 7-digit number.
Cell-to-cell calls need only the area code and 7-digit number. “He who calls
pays” under newly initiated regulations.

•Toll-Free
Dialing: To call a U.S.
800-number listed as toll-free, dial the U.S. long distance code (001) and
then 800 and the number. To dial a Mexico 800-number, dial 01-800 and
the telephone number. No charge will
appear on your telephone bill. However, not all 800-number calls will go
through. It may be possible to reach the
U.S. 800 number using 001-880; however these calls carry a fee (less than the
normal long distance rate to the U.S.).
