How the Plan Developed
Colombia replaced its former one-digit fixed-line regional indicators with three-digit codes beginning with 60. The unified format became mandatory for domestic calls in December 2021 and for incoming international fixed-line calls in February 2022.
Coverage and identity limitation
A Colombian geographic destination code covers multiple departments. Mobile number portability also means that a 3xx prefix cannot reliably establish the current carrier or physical location.
Common questions
Colombia Phone Code FAQ
What is the country calling code for Colombia?
Colombia uses country calling code +57.
Do I keep the domestic prefix when using +57?
Use the complete national number after +57; no separate domestic trunk zero is used in the featured format.
Can an area code identify a caller’s exact location?
No. It describes a numbering area or historic allocation, and portability, forwarding and internet telephony can separate a number from the caller’s present location.
