History
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.
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.
