My husband and I will be traveling to Oaxaca soon. I'd like to call a hotel but do not have the necessary numbers/digits I need that preceed the hotel's phone number.

Please help. Thank you!

Are you calling from the U.S.? If so,

011 (for an international call)
+ 52 (the country code for Mexico)
+ 249 (or 274, or... there are a number of different local codes for the city of Oaxaca).

oops...
+ then the 7 digit telephone number for the hotel

Yes, I will be calling from the US, I forgot to mention that.

Anyway, thanks Suze.

Often hotels include those 3 digits as part of their telephone number.

For instance calling Puerto Vallarta, I use 011 + 52 + 322 + xxx-xxxx.

A quick peak at an Oaxaca website showed seeral hotels with 951 as the code.

011 + 52 + 951 + xxx-xxxx

Do they have a web site? E-mail? VoIP?
Telmex service is very expensive and very awful.

I found the website to the hotel, but there was no indication of an email or way to contact them electronically.

I don't know what VolP is.

isis- Have you figured out the telephone number to use then? The times I have called hotels in Mexico was no problem.

011 + 52 + 951 + xxx-xxxx as Suze put above- this is it for OAX. You can find calling cards for cheap calls to Mexico . I just bought one for 10 cents a minute. If you have the right number it should be no problem to call.

Yeah, by all means get yerself a calling card to make that call. A few years back I thought I'd be very global and call Mex Ticketron to buy tickets to the ballet Folklorico in Mex City (one silly book said "buy tickets in advance, often tour groups snap them all up) Needless to say I was occasionally on hold, I was laboring along in my mediocre Spanish, then later English. Plus I never even bothered to see what kind of international service (or NOT) I had.
And I can admit this to you all because I'm faceless - the call cost $60! And of course when we went to the ballet the theatre was about 1/4 full! LIve and learn. . .

I have the telephone number to call and definitely planned on using a calling card as I know how expensive a call to Mexico can be.
