Dialling Tijuana Cell Numbers

[Farsea D]

The following is based of my October 12, 2006 post on "the other board."

COFETEL (Comisiَn Federal de Telecomunicaciones) announced some changes when dialing cellular telephone numbers. These changes will take effect on November 4, 2006.

a) When dialing a Mexican cell number from the USA: 011 + 52 + 1 + area + number.
(Formerly you dialed 011 + 52 + area + number.)

b) When in México and dialing a cell number outside your area: 045 + area + number.
(Formerly you dialed 01 + area + number.)

c) When in México and dialing a cell number in your area: 044 + area + number.
(No change.)

In the past a Mexican cell phone could not recieve a long distance call if it didn't have "credit." Under the new system the person placing the call is supposed to be billed for all charges making it possible for cell phones without credit to receive long distance (including international) calls.

I've received a couple of reports about "glitches" in the new system. Hopefully they will be resolved quickly.

Hi Viking, Thanks for your response, its the same what I heard, and I think it works both ways with and without the "1" after 52, difference being that with 1, the receiver does not get charged for air time. Need to confirm though. Our receivers dont get charged for air or fuck times ! we pay the charges anyway LOL

011 52 664 +7digit, this is what I use, mainly text but also voice. I've heard about the extra "1" after the "52" but never tried it. I think it helps in the cost of the cell phone call for the reciever in Mexico, but don't quote me on it.

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a new dialling code one has to use. It used to be 52 followed by 664 and 7 digit telephone code. But it seems now one has to dial a "1" after 52. I cant get either way, cant understand what the damn message says either ! Thanks for the info. I am talking about calling from US to Mexico Tijuana cell
