How do you call an 800 number in the US from a cell phone in Mexico. The information in the archives of the message boad only referred to a land line from Mexico., I need to call Westjet to return to Canada. Thanks a lot for a reply.

The number Charley has posted was given to me by West Jet about a year ago. I used it just a couple of months ago to book a trip, and, yes, it worked.. It is to be used when IN Mexico and calling West Jet: 001-403-444-2446

The following was posted by someone in the recent past. Can't remember who. I don't use a cell phone so I can't say that this works or not. Good luck.
From your Mexican cell phone: - To dial to a Mexican local number: Dial directly the área code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) - To dial to a Mexican long distance number:Dial area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) - To dial to a Mexican cell phone numberDial area code (3 digits) + phone number - To dial to a US phone number:Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) - To dial to a 1-800 U.S. number: (international rates apply)00 + 1 + 880 + phone number (usually 7 digits) - To dial to a 1-888 U.S. number:Dial 00 + 1 + 881 + phone number (usually 7 digits) - To dial to a 1-877 U.S. number:Dial 00 + 1 + 882 + phone number (usually 7 digits) - To dial to a 1-866 U.S. number:Dial 00 + 1 + 883 + phone number (usually 7 digits) - To dial to a Mexican 01-800 number:Dial 01 + 800 + phone number (usually 7 digits) - To dial to other countries:Dial 00 + country code (1, 2, or 3 digits) + phone number (usually 7 digits)
- To a US cell phone while is in Mexico (some companies have that as default): Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) Also, to call from a Mexican cell phone while in the US to a Mexican cell phone in Mexico (believe me, it happens): Dial 011 + 52 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
From your US or Canadian cell phone: You can make calls from your U.S. cell phone to Mexican numbers while you are in Mexico. The most confusing thing about this is that some US companies have arrangements with local Mexican carriers (TELCEL or MOVISTAR for example). In this case, the Mexican carrier takes over and your cell phone becomes “Mexican,” so you will use the “from Mexico” option below. Other carriers have no arrangement with any Mexican company, so you’ll use the “from the U.S.” option below. Unless you have an international plan, it is not cheap to use your U.S. cell phone in Mexico, but some times it is necessary. Contact your cell phone company before leaving the U.S, or try to dial the following ways: - To dial to a Mexican local or long distance landline number:From the U.S: 011 52 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) From Mexico: 01 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) - To dial to a Mexican cell phone number:From the U.S: Dial 011 52 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) From Mexico: Dial 01 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) - To dial to a U.S. phone number:Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits) - To dial to a 1-800 U.S. number: (be aware: international rates will apply)Dial 00 + 1 + 880 + phone number - To a US cell phone while is in Mexico (some companies have that as default):Dial 00 + 1 + area code (3 digits) + phone number (7 digits)
