Local Area Code (LADA) | 755 |
A little info about calling here long distance: our country code here in Mexico is 52, and our local area code (LADA) for the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa area is 755. So, for example, to call from the U.S.A. or Canada you would dial 011-52-755 then the local number. Most Zihuatanejo numbers begin with 554, and most Ixtapa and Troncones numbers begin with 553.
To call the U.S.A. or Canada from Mexico you just need to know that their country code is 1, so to place a direct long distance call you would dial 001 and the 10-digit number.
We do have cellular phone services here, but check with your local company first to find out if you can receive calls here on your cellphone. Local cellular phone service providers currently are TelCel, AT&T, IUSACEL, and MoviStar.
