Different Ways to Keep in Touch while in Mexico

Public phones work with coins or with cards (tarjetas telefónicas) that can easily be found in the kiosks found throughout Mexico. Less commonly, you can also find call centers that have phone booths where it is possible to call anywhere in the world.

  • Long-distance calls (larga distancia):

    • Directly dial the phone number you wish to reach (7 digits)
