How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Mexico

Mexico uses +52 and (since 3 August 2019) a uniform 10-digit dialing plan for both landlines and mobile phones: you dial area code + local number for every call within Mexico, and the old prefixes like 01 (national long-distance) and 044/045 (calling mobiles) were removed. In other words, you don’t “dial differently” for mobiles vs landlines anymore inside Mexico—both use the same 10-digit format. 

For international calling, the rule is also straightforward: from abroad you dial your exit code (e.g., 011 from the U.S./Canada or 00 from most of Europe), then 52, then the full 10-digit Mexican number (including the area code). A key gotcha: older instructions used to say to dial an extra “1” after 52 when calling Mexican mobiles from abroad, but that requirement was removed—now it’s simply +52 + 10 digits for both mobiles and landlines. If you’re storing numbers on your site, publish them in E.164 format like +525512345678 to avoid any confusion with legacy prefixes.
