    The instructions to call Mexico from the US include an area code (obviously) – e.g. 011 52 1 + area code + cell number. When calling a US cell phone in Mexico, does one use that cell phone’s US areas code, or the area code of the area being called in Mexico? I’ve read in several places that some US cell phones operate in Mexico as though they were Mexican cell phones, presumably using a Mexican area code.

    Hello,

    The instructions are of course for calling to a Mexico phone number. To reach a US phone located in Mexico just dial the US number the way you normally do. What you’ve been reading may refer to a US cell phone working like a Mexico phone for outgoing calls which is true.

    Thanks – that is what I suspected but it is good to know.
