How to call Guatemala from the US
Guatemala has the largest population in Central America and a sizeable US diaspora concentrated in Los Angeles, the Washington DC suburbs, and the New York metro. Like El Salvador, Guatemala uses a flat 8-digit numbering plan with no area codes – the prefix on the number tells you whether it's a landline (2 for Guatemala City, 7 for the western highlands, 4–5 for mobile) without needing extra digits. From the US, dial +502 plus the eight-digit number.
The mobile market in Guatemala is dominated by Tigo, Claro, and Movistar, and Phonecall connects to all three at the same flat rate – you don't need to know which network your contact is on. Per-second billing matters in practice: short calls to confirm a remittance, check on a relative, or coordinate with a contractor add up quickly under per-minute rounding, and the saving is real over a year of weekly check-ins.
Guatemala's country calling code is +502. From the US, dial + 502 + the 8-digit number. There is no separate area code or trunk prefix. Mobile numbers start with 3, 4, or 5; Guatemala City landlines start with 2; numbers starting with 6, 7, or 8 are regional landlines.
