How to call Ecuador from the US

Ecuador's numbering plan uses single-digit area codes for landlines (2 for Quito, 4 for Guayaquil, 7 for Cuenca) and 2-digit mobile prefixes starting with 9. Like the US dollar, which Ecuador adopted as its official currency in 2000, the numbering plan rewards predictability: you dial +593, then the area code or mobile prefix without the leading 0, then the subscriber number.

The Ecuadorian community in the US is concentrated in the New York metro and northern New Jersey, with smaller communities in Chicago, Houston, and South Florida. Calls home are weekly for many families, and the per-second billing on Phonecall makes a noticeable difference over a year. The rate is shown live on this page; mobile rates are typically a few cents higher than landline rates.

Ecuador's country calling code is +593. From the US, dial + 593 + area code or mobile prefix + number (drop the leading 0). Mobile numbers start with 9 after the country code. Major landline area codes: 2 (Quito), 4 (Guayaquil), 7 (Cuenca).
