Country code Mexico, +52 or 0052?

There are two spellings for the Mexico area code, namely +52 and 0052. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Mexico and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Mexico that begins with a “+” (i.e. +52) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to Mexico using the +52 area code. This applies to almost every country in the world.

Unfortunately, there are phones (especially older models) that do not support the international spelling. The Mexico area code with leading zeros (0052) is then used on these phones. The leading zeros are also referred to as the so-called traffic elimination number. When you call, they indicate that it is an international call.

Problem: Access code and area code 0052

In fact, the 0052 variant applies to calls to Mexico, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0052 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Mexico begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01152.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Mexico you can always use the country code 0052. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+52) for Mexico works in all countries of the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
