// Calling Etiquette
Mexico Business Calling Etiquette
Cultural context for calling contacts in Mexico — know what to expect before you dial.
Network & carriers
Mexico's telecom market is regulated by the IFT (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones), with América Móvil's Telcel holding the largest share of mobile subscribers.
Numbering format
Mexican mobile numbers historically required an extra '1' after the country code when dialed internationally — this was phased out in 2019 to simplify dialing.
Calling culture
Mexican business culture values personal rapport before business talk — a warm greeting and brief small talk at the start of a call is expected, not a delay.
Good to know
Mexico City's metro area alone accounts for a significant share of the country's total phone numbers, reflecting its outsized role in national business.
