Phone numbers in Mexico (+52)
+52 is the calling code of Mexico. There is no trunk prefix, and the international prefix is 00. Mobile and fixed-line numbers share the same ranges here, so the numbering plan cannot tell them apart by the number: a lookup answers line_type fixed_line_or_mobile unless the regulator table types the block from its holder. Read from libphonenumber’s numbering metadata (release 9.0.41) and the CRT numbering plan (Mexico) of 2026-10-19, never from a number anyone typed.
Dialling and writing numbers in Mexico
The trunk prefix is dialled in front of a number inside the country and dropped after the calling code; the international prefix is dialled to call out of it. The lengths and the leading digits below say which numbers the plan accepts and what their first digits tell you about the line type.
| trunk prefix | none: a number is dialled the same way at home and after the calling code |
|---|---|
| international prefix | 00 (the preferred of several the metadata allows) |
| length, fixed line or mobile | 10 digits |
| length, toll free | 10 digits |
| length, premium rate | 10 digits |
| length, shared cost | 10 digits |
| length, personal number | 10 digits |
| mobile vs fixed line | same ranges: the number cannot tell them apart |
Lengths count the national significant number, the digits after the calling code, without the trunk prefix. Every value is read from libphonenumber’s metadata, release 9.0.41, which a lookup runs on.

The numbering plan for Mexico
Every phone lookup starts from the numbering metadata: it settles whether a number is valid for Mexico, how it is written nationally and internationally, and which line type its range belongs to. The example numbers below are libphonenumber’s examples of each line type’s format; one may be in service, so read them for their shape and never dial or text one as a test.

|---|---|
| example, mobile | +52 222 123 4567 |
| example, fixed line | +52 200 123 4567 |
| example, toll free | +52 800 123 4567 |
| example, premium rate | +52 900 123 4567 |

The regulator table behind a lookup here
CRT numbering plan (Mexico) (synced 2026-10-19, table version 2026-10-19). The table is complete: it lists every assigned block of its plan, so a geographic number outside it is called unassigned. A lookup names the block holder as carrier with carrier_source block_allocation — the original allocation, never who serves the number today.
- 640,342 blocks in the table: 640,342 allocated, 0 unassigned, 0 reserved.
- 100.0 % of the blocks are allocated.
- 100.0 % of allocated blocks name a holder.
- 36.9 % of allocated blocks settle the line type on their own (234,090 mobile, 2,066 VoIP).
Measured weekly (last on 2026-10-25) from the table itself. These are shares of the regulator’s own table, not of real traffic, and they say nothing about who serves any one number today.
Who publishes the table, its files and terms, and what the copy installed here holds are on its data source page.
What a lookup answers for a number here
Every number the plan accepts for Mexico comes back with its formats, its line_type and line_type_source, its region and timezones, and the is_fictional and is_disposable flags from the bundled fiction ranges and the synced list of SMS-receiving numbers. Because the CRT numbering plan (Mexico) covers Mexico, a lookup also answers carrier from the block holder and block_status for every geographic number, unassigned included.
America/Mexico_City: the whole country keeps one clock, so a lookup answers that zone for every number here.
Area codes in Mexico
Mexico has 59 area-code pages; each reads the same table for the blocks under its code, their original holders and the line types they settle.
