How to Call an 800 Number from Mexico

S. Toll-free US numbers like 1-800 become charged calls when dialed from outside the US, and you’ll need to replace the 800 prefix with a Mexican access code – usually 001-880 or a variation depending on the number. Here's how it works.

1. How do I call a 1-800 number from Mexico?

If you’re trying to reach a US 1-800 number while in Mexico, here’s what to do:

  • Replace the 1-800 with 001-880
  • Then dial the rest of the number

For example, to call 1-800-123-4567, you would dial:
001-880-123-4567
This works for most toll-free numbers, but check with your phone provider first – some numbers may not be reachable or may be blocked from international access.

2. Alternate Toll-Free codes

If you're calling other US toll-free prefixes, here’s how to convert them from Mexico:

US Toll-Free Prefix

Dial From Mexico As

800001-880
888001-881
877001-882
866001-883
855001-884
844001-885
833001-886

 

So a number like 1-888-555-6789 would be dialled from Mexico as:
001-881-555-6789

Again, these aren’t toll-free from Mexico – they may incur long-distance charges, so check your phone plan or use an international calling service.

3. Low-cost ways to call Toll-Free numbers from Mexico

If you’re concerned about cost, you can try:

  • Calling via VoIP apps like Skype or Google Voice (some support toll-free numbers)
  • Contacting the business via online chat or app
  • Checking if there’s a local Mexican number listed on the company’s website
     

Some toll-free numbers have international versions, so it’s worth checking the brand’s “Contact Us” page for options specifically for callers from Mexico.

4. Staying connected and sending money to the US

If you’re in Mexico and also need to send money back to the US, there are simple, reliable ways to do it. With services like Paysend, you can transfer money to US bank cards or accounts quickly and securely, often with no hidden fees. It’s a great way to stay connected — whether you're supporting family, paying bills, or splitting costs from abroad.

Just like calling, sending money is easier when you use the right tools — look for trusted digital options with clear pricing and fast delivery.

Quick recap

To call a US 1-800 number from Mexico, replace the 800 with 001-880 — and remember, it won’t be toll-free.Consider using calling apps or looking for alternative contact numbers to save costs. And if you're also looking to send money back home, go with a provider that’s fast, transparent, and designed for international support.

🎉 Dezember-Gewinnspiel Gewinner Bekanntgegeben

Die Feiertage mögen vorbei sein, aber die Feierlichkeiten gehen weiter – Wir haben nun die Preise gutgeschrieben für unsere Dezember-Gewinnspiele. Bei Paysend geht es bei Gewinnspielen nicht nur ums Gewinnen, sondern darum, die echten Menschen hinter jeder Überweisung und die Gründe, warum das Versenden von Geld wichtig ist, anzuerkennen.

Einer unserer Dezember-Gewinner teilte das mit uns:

„Ich bin derzeit in der Tschechischen Republik und dank Paysend kann ich meinen Eltern Geld senden, die in der Ukraine leben und es derzeit schwer haben, Geld zu verdienen.“

Geschichten wie diese erinnern uns daran, warum Paysend existiert. Hinter jeder Überweisung steckt jemand, der seine Familie über Grenzen hinweg unterstützt, oft in schwierigen Zeiten. Geld einfach, sicher und ohne unnötige Gebühren senden zu können, kann einen echten Unterschied machen.
