2019.07.19 Mexico Dialplan Changes on August 3rd, 2019

Effective 2019.08.03, the Federal Telecommunications Institute of Mexo are introducing changes to their numbering plan.

Mexico (country code 52) has traditionally prefixed mobile numbers with a 1 before the subscriber number internationally - so a number starting with 521 was easily identifyable as a mobile number. From August 3rd onwards that one should be omitted.

For example a number published locally as 045 56 1234 5678 would be dialed as :

011 52 1 56 1234 5678 prior to August 3rd.

011 52 56 1234 5678 on or after August 3rd.

Please update your staff as required regarding the changes - while we do not expect any trouble during transition, please report any issues you have to your support contact.

Thank you,
