Buy a Mexican Virtual Phone Number

This page is for businesses that want to be reachable in Mexico without opening a local office. Whether you are selling to Mexican consumers, supporting Mexican customers, or expanding into the Latin American market, a Mexican virtual phone number lets you present a local identity while keeping your operations international.

Mexico is Latin America’s second-largest economy and the world’s tenth most populous country, with around 130 million people. It is one of the world’s largest manufacturing and export economies, with strong sectors in automotive, aerospace, electronics, food and beverages, and professional services. A Mexican phone number gives your business direct access to this vast market.

When a Mexican customer sees a local Mexico City or Monterrey number, they recognise it as a domestic call. They pay standard Mexican rates and feel confident they are dealing with a business that serves the local market. That recognition translates into higher answer rates, more enquiries and stronger customer relationships.

Mexico is a member of the USMCA trade agreement (alongside the United States and Canada), the OECD, the Pacific Alliance and the G20. The country has one of the most open economies in the world, with free trade agreements covering over 50 countries. For businesses, Mexico offers a gateway to both the North American and Latin American markets.

The time zone ranges from UTC-5 (eastern Mexico, aligned with US Eastern Time) to UTC-7 (northwest Mexico). Businesses can typically reach Mexico City during the afternoon, making it feasible to serve Mexican customers from an international base with some schedule adjustment.

English is widely spoken in Mexican business, particularly in sectors like technology, manufacturing and tourism. Mexico’s young, growing population and expanding middle class make it an increasingly attractive market for companies looking beyond Europe.

Mexico is the natural entry point to Latin America for many international businesses. It borders the United States to the north and Guatemala and Belize to the south, sitting at the junction of North and Central America. A Mexican phone number positions your business in a country that serves as a bridge between the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking Americas.

Mexico City is one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas and a major hub for finance, technology and culture. Monterrey is the industrial powerhouse of northern Mexico. Guadalajara has emerged as Mexico’s technology capital, often called the “Silicon Valley of Latin America.” Each city has its own economic character, and local area code numbers let you target specific regions.

Toll-free 0800 — Free for callers from any Mexican phone. Best for customer service lines, support desks and national marketing campaigns where you want to remove any cost barrier. A worldwide address is accepted.

Local area code — City-specific numbers that carry a recognisable area code. A 55 number says Mexico City, a 33 says Guadalajara, an 81 says Monterrey. Best for businesses targeting specific cities or regions, or wanting to appear locally established. A worldwide address is accepted.

All Mexican number types accept a worldwide address, making Mexico one of the simplest countries to set up. No Mexican address or local entity required.

Mexico uses a ten-digit closed numbering plan with no trunk prefix. All calls are dialled as ten digits within Mexico. When displaying internationally, add the country code +52:

Local example (Mexico City): 55 1234 5678 domestically, +52 55 1234 5678 internationally

Toll-free example: 0800 123 4567 domestically, +52 800 123 4567 internationally

On your website, always show the international format with +52 so both Mexican and international visitors can dial correctly. Mexico eliminated the trunk prefix system in 2019, so all domestic calls are now ten digits.

You choose a Mexican number — toll-free 0800 or local area code — and tell us where to forward calls. We activate the number, typically within one business day. When someone in Mexico dials your number, the call routes through our network and reaches you on your landline, mobile or VoIP system. The caller pays standard Mexican rates (or nothing, for toll-free) and your team answers as if they were in Mexico City.

You manage everything through your online account: change forwarding destinations, set opening hours, configure a phone menu or enable voicemail. No hardware, no installation, no Mexican office required.
