044 your Cell Phone Code

Not being able to get through to that cell phone number?

Most probably you are missing dialing the whole number. No need to worry.

This is how it works:

• A Cell Phone no. will usually look like this:

624-555-oo33     *624 is Los Cabos area code / 612, La Paz

• A Land Line no. like this:

555-0033

To call:

land line - land line:    just dial the number as provided. ex: 555 - 0033

land line - cell phone:  dial 044 + 624 + cell phone number. ex: (044) 624 555-0033

cell phone - cell phone:  just dial the number along with the area code. ex: 624 555-0033

cell phone - land line:  dial the number provided, attaching the area code. ex: 624 555-0033
