Mexico uses an open numbering plan under country code +52. After the country code comes a 2-digit area or mobile prefix. Then comes an 8-digit subscriber number. Together that is a 10-digit national number. Domestic numbers often start with a trunk "0". Leave it out when you call Mexico from abroad.
Carriers & language
Mexico has 76% internet penetration. It has 3 major mobile networks: Telcel, Movistar MX, AT&T Mexico. VoIP is permitted and regulated by IFT. The local currency is MXN. The main language is Spanish. Both shape IVR prompts, SMS content and business hours.
Americas context
Numbering across the Americas mixes the North American Numbering Plan (+1) with national E.164 plans. Mobile and fixed-line prefixes vary from country to country.
Skipping the exit code
Reaching Mexico from the US requires the 011 exit code ahead of +52 — skip it and the call won't connect.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
That leading 0 on a Mexico number is for domestic calls only; leave it out when dialing in after +52.
Ignoring the time difference
Mexico runs on UTC−6 to UTC−8. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.

How businesses use a Mexico number
Look like a local business

One Mexico number can handle inbound support and outbound sales. Both calls use Tier-1 routes into Telcel and the wider network.
Built for UTC−6 to UTC−8 hours
Multi-country teams can send Mexico calls to whoever is awake and working in UTC−6 to UTC−8. There is no need for separate numbers per shift.

Set up a Mexico presence on SIP trunking before you commit to local infrastructure. The same number scales from a pilot to full local hiring.
