Bridging The Gap: Communicating Between Belize And The Us

Communicating from Belize to the US can be done in several ways, including direct calls, VoIP services, and free online methods. To call the US from Belize, you must first dial the Belize exit code, 00, followed by the US country code, 1, and then the recipient's 10-digit phone number. For landline calls, you may need to include the area code. When calling from the US to Belize, the process is similar: first, dial the US exit code, 011, then the country code for Belize, 501, and finally, the area code and local number. VoIP services like Skype and Rebtel offer affordable international calls, while free methods include using online apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

US exit code for calling Belize

To call Belize from the US, you need to follow the correct dialing format. The US exit code, which is needed for making any international call from the US, is 011. After dialling the exit code, you need to dial the country code for Belize, which is 501. Then, you dial the area code and the local number.

US exit code (011) + Belize country code (501) + area code + local number.

For instance, if you are calling a landline number in Belize City, which has the area code 2, and the local number is 123-4567, you would dial 011-501-2-123-4567.

Please note that when calling a mobile number in Belize from the US, you do not need to dial the area code. Simply dial the US exit code, followed by the Belize country code, and then the local mobile number.

Belize country code

To communicate with someone in Belize from the US, you will need to know the country code to dial. The country calling code for Belize is +501. This is the number you dial before the Belize phone number.

To call Belize from the US or Canada, you must first dial 011, which is the international prefix when calling abroad from either of these countries. Then, you dial the country code for Belize, 501, followed by the recipient's phone number. The phone number in Belize will be seven digits long. So, the full dialing format will be: 011-501-XXXXXXX.

The country code is the same for both landlines and cell phones in Belize. However, when calling a landline, you may need to add an area code before the phone number. For example, to call Belize City, you would need to dial 011-501-2-XXXXXX.

If you are calling from a cell phone, you can often use +501 and 011501 interchangeably.

The two-letter country abbreviation for Belize is BZ, and the three-letter code is BLZ. The country-specific domain is .bz.

Calling a Belize mobile number

To call a mobile phone number in Belize from the US, you will need to follow the international dialling format. This means you will need to include the US exit code, the Belize country code, the area code, and the local number.

• Exit code for the US: 011
• Country code for Belize: 501
• Area code: There are 6 area codes in Belize. You will need to include the relevant area code before the local number.
• Local number: 7 digits

Please note that the 0 at the start of some phone numbers is a trunk code and is only used when calling from within Belize.

If you are calling from a landline, you can dial 011501 instead of +501, which includes the American exit code.

Alternatively, you can use an international calling app such as BOSS Revolution or Rebtel, which offer cheaper rates for international calls.

Calling a Belize landline

To call a landline in Belize from the US, you will need to follow the international dialling format. The US exit code is 011, so you would start by dialling this, followed by the country code for Belize, which is 501. After this, you need to dial the Belize area code, and then the local number.

For example, if you are calling a landline in Belize from the US, your number might look like this: 011 + 501 + 2 + XXX + XXXX.

There are six area codes in Belize, and you will need to dial the relevant one after the country code. If there is no area code, you can dial the recipient's telephone number after the country code.

It is worth noting that some sources suggest that the trunk code, or '0' at the start of a number, is only used when calling from within Belize. Therefore, you may be able to dial the number without this initial '0'.

Cheapest methods to call Belize from the US

To call Belize from the US, you need to dial:

011 - 501 - Area Code - Land Phone Number

011 - 501 - 7-Digit Mobile Number

Here, 011 is the exit code for the US, and 501 is the ISD or country code of Belize. There are 6 area codes in Belize, and you can find the appropriate one for the city you are calling.

The cheapest way to call Belize from the US is through Voice Over IP (VoIP) services. This is a type of call where you use an app connected to the internet to call someone else using the same app. Some of the most well-known apps that support VoIP calls to Belize are WhatsApp and Skype. The advantage of using these platforms is that they are extremely cheap, requiring both parties to have the same app and an internet connection. However, the disadvantage is that both parties may not always have an internet connection or a phone capable of connecting to the internet.

Another cheap option is to use an international calling service such as Rebtel or Mytello. These services allow you to convert your Belizean contact's phone number to an American one, allowing you to make local phone calls at much cheaper rates than traditional carriers.
