How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Guatemala

Guatemala uses country code +502 and a closed 8-digit plan. There are no city area codes and no trunk “0.” From abroad: dial your exit code → 502 → the 8 digits (e.g., +502 2411 6000). From inside Guatemala, dial the same 8 digits. Calls from Guatemala to other countries start with 00 + country code.

Mobiles vs landlines:

Landlines (geographic): Guatemala doesn’t use city “area codes.” Fixed numbers indicate locality by their leading family. Numbers beginning 2… = Guatemala City metro, 6… = suburban (Guatemala Department), 7… = rest of country. Write as +502 2/6/7xxx xxxx (see locality ranges below).

Mobiles (non-geographic): most commonly start 3x, 4x, or 5x. In practice, Tigo numbers often begin 4…, while Claro numbers often begin 3… or 5… (legacy allocations). Format as +502 3/4/5xxx xxxx. (Guatemala has debated mobile number portability, but it is not implemented as of 2024/2025, so prefixes usually still reflect the issuing network.)

What are the emergency numbers in Guatemala

Police 110 (also 120); Fire 122 or 123; Ambulance/IGSS 128. Tourist assistance PROATUR 1500 (in-country) / +502 2290-2810. Coverage varies—store both 122 and 123 for fire/EMS.

What are the city and area codes in Guatemala

Dialing tip: If you see a local landline like 2411-6000 in Guatemala City, just add +502 for international use (+502 2411 6000). From the U.S./Canada dial 011 502 {8 digits}; from most of Europe use 00 502 {8 digits} (or just +502 on mobile)

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Guatemala
