How to call Colombia from the US
Colombia's numbering plan is one of the cleaner ones in Latin America once you know the convention. Mobile numbers are 10 digits starting with 3, and landline numbers are 10 digits including a 1-digit area code for major cities (601 for Bogotá, 604 for Medellín, 602 for Cali). From the US you dial +57 followed by the 10-digit number – the leading 0 you sometimes see in older local notation should be dropped.
Calls to Colombia from US carriers tend to be priced as standard Latin American international minutes, which is fine until you run a long call. Phonecall surfaces the live per-minute rate before you dial and bills per second, so calls back to family in Bogotá, Cartagena, or Cali don't surprise you on next month's statement. The first 60-second call on a new account is free, which is the easiest way to verify the audio quality on your laptop or phone before topping up.
Colombia's country calling code is +57. From the US, dial + 57 + the 10-digit number (no leading 0). Mobile numbers begin with 3. Major landline area codes: 601 (Bogotá), 604 (Medellín), 602 (Cali), 605 (Barranquilla, Cartagena, Santa Marta).

Frequently asked questions about calling Colombia
I see older Colombian numbers without an area code – are they still valid?
Colombia restructured its landline numbering in 2022 to a uniform 10-digit format, so older 7-digit landline numbers without an area code no longer work for international calls. Ask the recipient for their current 10-digit number (starting with 60 for landlines) and dial +57 plus those 10 digits from the US.
How do I tell Colombian mobile and landline numbers apart?
After the +57 country code, mobile numbers start with 3 and are 10 digits long. Landline numbers start with 60 followed by the city digit (1 for Bogotá, 4 for Medellín, 2 for Cali, 5 for the Caribbean coast). Phonecall detects the type from the prefix and shows the correct rate before you dial.
