RVGRINGO Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I suggest the following: MX: 33-0000-0000 US: 610-000-0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Cell: 33-0000-0000 DO IT THAT WAY. Since you've said this is for use within Mexico, there is absolutely no reason to include the country code. In fact, I'd be willing to bet the majority of Mexicans don't even know what the country code is for Mexico. (Why would they?) Doesn't much matter how you do the US phone #. Nobody is going to dial it (unless you're putting it there to cover your time while still in the US). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PORTIMOM Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thank you so much for your help and patience.... I am sure that most of my questions seemed silly, but it was important this information be understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdlngton Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Wait! What about the 045 or 044 one has to put BEFORE the area code and phone number when dialing form a land line? I know we do 045 at Lakeside but what do you put in Guadalajara? And what about in other areas of the country> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 That will depend upon where you are calling from and whether you are calling from a celular or a fixed phone. Folks know which to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PORTIMOM Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 It is extras like this that can confuse... so I've concluded (Thanks to the wonderful people here) the simple 33 followed by the 8 digit phone number is best. 045 when dialing a cell phone in a different area code from your land line and 044 when dialing the same area code - it's really not that hard.

PORTIMOM Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 This learning a whole new way of doing things, from language to numbers (cell phones included) should be a nice workout... keep our minds flexible... jajaja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received my phone number today and it reads in a format that appears like this: +52-1-33-1000-0000 Would it be better to print it like this: 331-000-0000 or yet another way? A Mexican would put 33 10 00 00 00 A Canadian or American would put 331 000 0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
