How to call Colombia

Ten digits after 57. Bogotá is 601 now, not 1.

Colombian landlines gained two digits. A Bogotá number saved as (1) 234 5678 is now 601 234 5678: put 60 in front of the old one-digit region code. From abroad dial 57 and all 10 digits.

When to call Colombia

Colombia moves its holidays to Monday.

Most national holidays that fall midweek are taken on the following Monday, so the country gets a long weekend, a puente, more than ten times a year. Offices and banks shut and families gather. Good days to ring home, poor days to ring a business.

Under Colombia's Law 51 of 1983, most holidays that fall midweek move to the following Monday. A holiday dated Wednesday is taken on Monday, making a three-day weekend from Saturday to Monday, called a puente. Offices close and many families travel or stay home together.MONworkTUEworkWEDdatedTHUworkFRIworkSAToffSUNoffMONholidaymoved to MondayPuente: 3 days offFamilies home, offices shut.Call relatives on the Monday, a business on the Tuesday.

FAQ

Calling Colombia: your questions

Reviewed 29 October 2026.

Colombia's country code is +57. Every number after it has 10 digits: 300 123 4567 for a mobile, 601 234 5678 for a Bogotá landline.

How do I call Colombia from the USA?

Press 011 57 and all ten digits, nothing dropped: 011 57 300 123 4567 rings a mobile, 011 57 601 234 5678 a Bogotá landline. On a cell phone or in a SIP app, just start with +57. Colombia is level with New York in US winter and an hour behind in US summer.

How do I call Colombia from the UK, Spain, Canada or Australia?

Spain and the UK use 00 57, Canada 011 57 and Australia 0011 57, and the full ten digits follow, so Medellín is 00 57 604 and seven more from Madrid. Starting with +57 on a smartphone works from all four.

How do I call a Colombian mobile?

Colombian mobiles have 10 digits starting with 3, such as 300, 310 or 320. Dial +57 and all 10 digits. There is no 0 to drop and no area code to add.

Is Bogotá's area code 1 or 601?

601. In 2021 every landline gained 60 in front of its old one-digit code, so Bogotá went from 1 to 601 and Medellín from 4 to 604. The old format stopped working for calls from abroad on 31 January 2022. Paste an old number into the reader at the top and it gives you the new one.

What are the landline codes for Medellín, Cali and Barranquilla?

Medellín is 604, Cali 602, Barranquilla and Cartagena 605, Bucaramanga and Cúcuta 607, Pereira and Manizales 606, and the east and south, from Villavicencio to Ibagué, 608. There is no 603.

Why are so many Colombian holidays on a Monday?

Law 51 of 1983, the Ley Emiliani, moves most holidays that fall midweek to the following Monday, making a three-day weekend called a puente. Colombia has 19 national holidays a year; the planner above lists the next ones and what they mean for your call.

What time is it in Colombia?

Colombia is on UTC-5 all year, with no daylight saving. While New York is on winter time the two cities match; in US summer time Bogotá is an hour behind. It is 6 hours behind Madrid in winter and 7 in summer.

$0.0019 a minute, whether you ring a 3XX mobile in Cali or a 601 line in Bogotá, and connecting is free. An hour with Abuela comes to $0.11; $20 pays for 10,526 minutes. The last part-minute of a call rounds up to a whole one.

Can I call a Colombian 01 800 number from abroad?

Usually not. An 01 800 line is toll free only from inside Colombia, and 01 900 lines are premium rate, which we block. Ask the company for a 60X landline or a mobile number.

Do I need a Colombia calling card?

No. Save the number as +57 and its 10 digits, such as +57 300 123 4567, and call it from your contacts. From Bogotá to Barranquilla the price is $0.0019 a minute, and an hour is $0.11.
