California To Belize: Making The International Call

To call Belize from California, you need to follow the international dialing format. First, dial 011, the exit code for the United States, then 501, the Belize country code, and finally, the area code plus the local number. For example, the number format for calling a landline would be: 011 + 501 + 2 + XXX + XXXX. To call a mobile number in Belize from the United States, the number format would be: 011 + 501 + 6 + The Number.

Exit code for the US: 011

To call Belize from California, you'll need to dial the US exit code, which is 011. This is the code you need to use to make any international call from the US.

The exit code is the first part of the international dialing format, which is as follows:

Exit code (011) + Country code (501) + Area code + Land phone number or 7-digit mobile number

For example, if you're calling a landline in Belize City, you would dial 011-501-2-XXXXXXX. If you're calling a mobile phone, you would dial 011-501-6-XXXXXXX.

If you're calling Belize from a cell phone, you may need to dial +501 instead of 011-501. These two codes often work interchangeably from cell phones.

Country code for Belize: 501

To call Belize from California, you need to dial the country's code, which is 501, followed by the receiver's phone number. The full number will look like this:

011-501- * - .

The 011 exit code at the beginning of the number is the United States' exit code and is needed for making any international call from the country. The 501 that comes next is Belize's country code and must be dialled after the exit code. Finally, you need to dial the receiver's phone number, including the area code.

If you are using a mobile phone to make the call, you may need to first use the + (plus) sign prior to entering the country code and phone number. The plus sign and 011 are often interchangeable.

It is important to note that there are six area codes in Belize, and you will need to dial the relevant one before the phone number. However, when calling a mobile phone in Belize from the United States, the area code is 6, so the number will look like this:

011-501-6- * .

The time difference between the United States and Belize is two hours, so be sure to keep that in mind when making your call.

Calling a Belize mobile: +501 or 011501

To call a mobile phone number in Belize from California, you need to include the ISD (country) code for Belize, which is 501, after the exit code for the US, which is 011. This means that the number you dial will start with 011501 or +501, followed by the seven-digit Belize mobile number. For example: 011501-123-4567 or +501-123-4567.

The 011 exit code is required for making any international call from the US. The 501 country code is also sometimes referred to as an ISD code.

When calling a Belize mobile from the US, you do not need to include any area codes.

The + sign and 011 are interchangeable, so you can use either format. However, if you are calling from a landline, you may need to dial 011501, as the + sign often only works from cell phones.

Calling a Belize landline: 011 + 501 + area code + landline number

To call a landline in Belize from California, you must first dial 011, which is the exit code or international prefix for the US. After dialling the exit code, you need to enter 501, which is the country code for Belize. Following the country code, you must dial the area code of the place in Belize you are calling, and then the landline number.

The full dialling format for calling a landline in Belize from the US is: 011 + 501 + area code + landline number.

There are six area codes in Belize, and these are used after the country code but before the local number. For example, the area code for Belize City is 948, so the full number would be: 011 + 501 + 948 + landline number.

Please note that when calling a mobile number in Belize from the US, you do not need to use an area code. The format for calling a mobile number is: 011 + 501 + mobile number.
