| Calling from the US | 011 52 and the 10 digits (no extra 1 for cell phones since 2020) |
Calls from +52: family, businesses and collectors
A +52 number is often family, friends or a business you deal with in Mexico. It can also be a bank, a debt collector or a call center. If you don’t recognize the number, look it up before you call back or share any personal details.
One ring and they hung up?
That’s the pattern the FTC calls the one-ring scam: the caller wants you to dial back, and you pay international or per-minute charges. If you don’t know anyone with a +52 number, look it up first; the D.C. Attorney General also suggests asking your carrier to block international calls you don’t need.
