Unlocking International Calls: Dialing The Belize Country Code

To call Belize from abroad, you need to dial the international access code, which varies depending on the country you are calling from. For example, the code is 011 from the US and Canada, 00 from the UK, Ireland, or New Zealand, and 0011 from Australia. After the international access code, you need to dial the country code for Belize, which is 501. Then, you dial the area code and the local number. For example, to call a landline in Belize from the US, you would dial 011-501-2-XXXXXX, where 011 is the exit code, 501 is the country code, 2 is the area code, and XXXXXX is the local number.

Dial 011 from the US or Canada

When calling an international phone number from the US or Canada, you must first dial 011. This is known as the International Direct Dialing (IDD) code or exit code. The IDD code is a prefix that is required when dialling an international phone number from a landline in the US or Canada.

The IDD code is only three digits, but it is an essential component of the phone number, as it signals to the telephone network that the call is being placed to a number outside of the national telephone numbering plan. In this case, the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). The NANP is a telephone numbering system that encompasses twenty-five distinct regions in twenty countries, primarily in North America and the Caribbean.

The 011 exit code is only used when dialling internationally from the US or Canada. When calling internationally from other countries, a different IDD code will be used. For example, the IDD code for Mexico is 00, while the IDD code for Brazil is 00 and then a carrier selection code consisting of two digits.

After dialling 011, you would then dial the country code for the country you are calling. For example, to call Belize, you would dial 011 followed by the Belize country code, 501.

Dial 00 from the UK, Ireland, or New Zealand

To call Belize from the UK, Ireland, or New Zealand, you will need to dial the following:

From the UK

• Dial 00 as the international prefix used to call outside of the UK.
• Dial 44, the UK's international code.
• Dial the local number.

From Ireland

• Dial 00 as the international prefix used to call outside of Ireland.
• Dial the destination country's international code.
• Dial the local number.

From New Zealand

• Dial 00 as the New Zealand exit code.
• Dial the international calling code of the country you are calling.
• Dial the area code (without the first zero if the number starts with 0) and the phone number you wish to reach.

Please note that the country code for Belize is 501. To call Belize from the UK, Ireland, or New Zealand, you will need to dial the international prefix, followed by the Belize country code, and then the local number.

Dial 0011 from Australia

To dial Belize from Australia, you will need to follow these steps:

First, dial 0011, the Australian exit code. This is the code used to make international calls from Australia. It is important to note that this code is specifically for voice calls. If you are using a mobile phone, you can also use the '+' symbol instead of dialling 0011. To do this, press and hold the '0' key on your phone's keypad.

Next, you will need to dial the country code for Belize, which is 501. This is the code that will route your call to Belize.

After dialling the country code, you will need to enter the area code for Belize, followed by the local phone number you are trying to reach. The area code will depend on the specific location within Belize that you are calling.

0011 (Australian exit code) + 501 (Belize country code) + Area Code + XXX XXXX (local number)

It is worth noting that when dialling an international number, you may need to omit any initial '0' from the area code or phone number.

Additionally, some mobile phones have settings that can assist with international calling, helping to avoid accidental calls and associated charges. It is always a good idea to check your phone settings before placing international calls.

Dial the country code: 501

To call Belize from abroad, you will need to dial the country code, which is 501. This is the same whether you are calling a landline or a mobile number.

To call Belize from the US or Canada, you will need to dial 011 first. This is the international prefix or exit code when calling abroad from the US or Canada. You will then need to dial the country code for Belize, which is 501. After this, you will need to dial the area code and local number. For example, dialling 011 + 501 + 2 + XXX + XXXX will allow you to call a landline in Belize from the US.

If you are calling from the UK, Ireland or New Zealand, you will need to dial 00 first, followed by the country code 501. If you are calling from Australia, you will need to dial 0011 first, before the country code.

If you are calling a mobile number in Belize, you will need to dial the exit code for the country you are calling from, followed by the country code 501, and then the seven-digit mobile number. For example, if you are calling from the US, you would dial 011 + 501 + 6 + XXX + XX.

Dial the area code and phone number

To dial a phone number in Belize, you will need to include the country code, the area code, and the phone number. The country code for Belize is 501. This is the same whether you are calling a landline or a mobile phone.

The area code will depend on the region you are calling within Belize. There are six area codes in Belize. For example, the area code for Belize City is 948. You will need to dial the area code and then the local number.

If you are calling from outside of Belize, you will also need to include the exit code or international access code of the country you are calling from. For example, the exit code for the US is 011. Therefore, if you are calling Belize from the US, you would dial 011-501-948-XXXXX, where XXXXX is the local number.

If you are calling a mobile phone number in Belize from outside of the country, you will need to dial the exit code of the country you are calling from, followed by the country code of Belize (011-501), and then the seven-digit mobile number. For example, if you are calling a Belize mobile number from the US, you would dial 011-501-XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX is the mobile number.
