Colombia’s country code is +57. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in Colombia should dial Colombia’s telephone country code (+57) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Colombia are ten digits long, including the area code – aaa-bbb-bbbb, with aaa being the area code. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Colombia using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Colombia.

Step 2. Dial 57, Colombia’s country code.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the seven digit national phone number you wish to call in Colombia.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 57 aaa bbb bbbb (or +57 aaa bbb bbbb from a mobile device)

Colombia’s area codes are three digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Here are some Colombia’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside Colombia, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Colombia’s country code 57. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Santa Marta, this would be an example of a phone number: +57 605 bbb bbbb or 0057 605 bbb bbbb, and 011 57 605 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Colombia’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the five largest local mobile phone companies – Claro, Movistar, Tigo, Avantel, and VirginMobile. Mobile code varies based on the mobile provider the phone is in service with. Here are some Colombian mobile codes:

When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then Colombia’s country code “57”, plus the phone number including the mobile code.

For example, if you want to call a mobile phone with service provided by “Virgin Mobile” then enter 011 57 319 bbb bbbb or +57 319 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.
