Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format for Colombian phone numbers?
When calling from Australia, Colombian mobile numbers are 10 digits long and are dialed directly after the country code (57). Landline numbers consist of a 3-digit area code followed by a 7-digit local number.
What is the cheapest way to call Colombia from Australia?
Using a prepaid phone card or a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service like the ones offered by Phone Card Choice is typically the most affordable way. These services offer much lower rates than direct dialing through major mobile or landline carriers.
Can I call a Colombian toll-free number from Australia?
Generally, no. Colombian toll-free numbers (often starting with 01 8000) are usually not reachable from outside the country. You will need to find a standard local number for the company you wish to contact.
Do I need to dial the exit code (0011) if I use a phone card app?
It depends on the service. Many modern VoIP apps and services handle the exit code automatically. You can often start dialing with the country code (+57). However, if you are dialing from a landline using a calling card access number, you will likely still need to dial the full sequence.
