Answer 2

you need to dial 011 (international code)  before the country code, so try 011 44 66 4 201 7011.  Good luck.

Answer 3

If you look at the White Pages of a US phone book, it describes the instructions of how to call other countries.  

Generally, you need to dial the international access code from America, then exclude the zero, and dial the 44...numbers.

All of this information is in the phone book, check it out!

Answer 4

you have to dial the US code.. and then Mexicos code..  

i think the US code is 011  ..     I call brazil all the time and their code is 55     ..   so when i call Brazil .. i have to dial

011-55-(area code)- (phone number)

Get a phone book .. should be 1 of the 1st pages

good luck

Answer 5

just dial

011 52 1 [phone]

the 044 means the phone is a cell. you dont dial that from the US.

if by any chance it is not a cell, omit the "1" before the area code (664)--that's Tijuana, Mexico by the way.

there are plans in the US that charge as low as 3 to 9 cents a minute from home or cell phones. in case you call for hours and hours at  a time.

hope this is simple and helps.

Answer 6

to call to mexico its 01152 and the phone number so it would be 011526642017011   or 0115216642017011     he gave you the 044 because that is the way you dail in mexico and the person who is receiving the call doesn't get charged too, the air time in mexico is really expensive.but now starting in july (in verizzon anyway) the person who is calling gets charged for the call 24 cents a minute to a cell phone in mexico and the person who is receiving doesn't get charged for the call no more.

Answer 7

Hi,

Usually to call to a cell phone in Mexico you have to dial the 011 52 1, and then the area code and number.  

I found a whole article on calling in/to Mexico in a bulletin sent out by the mex insurance company we use for our car (link below) and it says that Verizon Wireless customers calling local wireless subscriber in Mexico dial this way:

044 + city code + 7 digit number

So using your friend's number that means he was saying 044 + 664 + 201-7011.  Can you check to see if 664 is the correct area code for Tijuana?  Also, if you aren't using Verizon wireless to call him, you may need to dial the normal way, which would be:

011 52 1 [phone].  Maybe he thought you had a Verizon cell phone too.  If you are calling from a land line, you probably have to dial the more traditional way.

Good luck - I hope this (or the article) helps you get in touch with your friend!

Answer 8

well, the number should begin with

011.52

because you call out 011, and the country code for mexico is 52.  i'm not sure why it would start with 044

if it's a cell phone, after the country code, you must dial a 1, before you dial the area code.
