Mexico has a reasonably efficient communication system with good telephone, internet and postal services; however, if you do not want to have problems, you need to know some important tips.

Telephone & Fax
Telephone system in Mexico can be relatively slow, but it is acceptable; telephone numbers in Mexico have 10 digits, 2 of them for city code (area code), Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, and 3 digits for the rest cities; to make a local call, you do not need to dial the city code (or area code). The country code for Mexico is 52.

This is a good example about the steps of a call from United Stated to Mexico

Dial the international access code: 011.
Dial the Mexico’s country code: 52.
Finally, dial the telephone number of 7 or 8 digits, as the case may be. For instance, if you are trying to call the U.S. consulate in Acapulco, you have to dial 011-52-744-469-0556, otherwise, to call the U.S. embassy in Mexico City, you should dial 011-52-55-5209-9100.
