Mexico Eliminates Long Distance Telephone Charges Murry Page - The Mazatlan Messenger
go to original December 29, 2014

Beginning on January 1, 2015, the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFC) has changed the regulations for long distance calls made to another location in the country. Beginning on January 1 the charge previously made for a telephone call to a different city in the country will be abolished.

Changes for telephone calls from Mexico to another country will continue and will not be changed by the new ruling.

Currently if a person is calling from a landline to a cell phone in another city they must dial 045 first and then the area code and seven digit local telephone number. The IFC told reporters that time did not permit a change in that dialing procedure, but there will not be a charge for dialing 045. From the customer’s perspective it will be the same as dialing 044.

Likewise dialing a number that requires that 01 be dialed first, will be the same as dialing the seven, eight, or ten digit number, i.e., there will not be a charge for dialing a number that has required initially dialing 01.
