02 — THE BASICS

What is the +501 country code?

Belize was assigned +501 by the ITU — placing it in zone 5 with the rest of Central + South America. Uniquely for the region, Belize has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 7 digits, dialed in full.

ITU zone 5 Central America

Belize uses the +501 country code, placing it in ITU zone 5 alongside its Central + South American neighbours — Guatemala +502, El Salvador +503, Honduras +504 + Mexico +52. As a former British colony (British Honduras, independent in 1981), Belize is the <b>only English-speaking country in Central America</b> — though Belizean Kriol + Spanish are also widely spoken.

PUC-regulated

Belize's telecommunications are overseen by the PUC (Public Utilities Commission). Two mobile carriers serve the country: Belize Telemedia Limited (BTL, which markets mobile service as Digi — the former incumbent + largest network) + Smart (Speednet Communications). All mobile numbers begin with 6.

No area codes — 7 digits

Belize has no area codes at all. Every Belizean number — landline or mobile — is exactly <b>7 digits</b>, dialed in full with no trunk prefix + no leading 0 to drop. <b>Mobiles begin with 6</b> (e.g. +501 612 3456); landlines begin with 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 or 8. The first digit once hinted at district, but the plan is a single uniform 7-digit string today.

DID YOU KNOW

Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America. A former British colony — British Honduras until independence in 1981 — Belize keeps English as its official language. It is also home to the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world + a UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the famous Great Blue Hole. Ancient Maya cities like Caracol, Xunantunich + Lamanai dot the rainforest, and the Garifuna culture on the Caribbean coast is UNESCO-recognized heritage. San Pedro on Ambergris Caye is the country's tourism hub.

03 — QUICK FACTS

A quick read on how it works.

A Belizean phone number in international format is written as +501 NNN NNNN — always exactly 7 digits. Example: +501 223 1234 for a Belize City landline, +501 822 1234 for a San Ignacio landline, +501 612 3456 for a mobile. The digits are commonly grouped 3 + 4 for readability.

Because Belize uses a closed 7-digit plan with no area codes + no trunk prefix, there is no leading 0 to drop — you always dial all 7 digits, both domestically + internationally. Mobile numbers begin with 6; landlines begin with 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 or 8.

Want to call Belize from abroad? Dial your exit code (00 in most countries — including Belize — 011 in NANP, 0011 in Australia), then 501, then all 7 digits. On any mobile, replace the exit code with +. Never drop a digit — Belize has no area-code 0.
04 — COVERAGE

Where a +501 number reaches.

From the Fort George waterfront in Belize City to the Maya ruins at Xunantunich, every Belizean number lives behind a +501 — all 7 digits, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in Belize.

06 — WHY +501

Six reasons people pick a Belize number.

+501 reaches the only English-speaking nation in Central America + a top dive + eco-tourism destination. Belizean banks verify with +501 mobile OTPs, and the Belize dollar is pegged 2:1 to the US dollar.

01

Belizean bank OTPs

Belizean banks (Belize Bank, Atlantic Bank, Heritage Bank, Scotiabank Belize) + many local services send one-time codes to a +501 mobile. Without a Belize number, completing bank logins + verifications from abroad is hard — a +501 6X mobile receives those OTPs directly.

02

Dive + eco-tourism gateway

A +501 line connects you to Belize's tourism economy — the Belize Barrier Reef + the Great Blue Hole make it a top scuba-diving destination, while Maya ruins (Caracol, Xunantunich, Lamanai), rainforest lodges + the cayes (Ambergris Caye / San Pedro, Caye Caulker) draw eco-travellers year-round. A local number is essential for dive shops, lodges + tour operators.

03

English-speaking — only one in Central America

Belize is the <b>only English-speaking country in Central America</b>, a legacy of its British Honduras colonial past. A +501 number lets you do business in English across the region without a language barrier — Belizean Kriol + Spanish are widely spoken too, but official + commercial life runs in English.

04

Belize dollar pegged 2:1 to the USD

The Belize dollar (BZD) is <b>pegged at a fixed 2:1 rate to the US dollar</b> — BZ$2 = US$1 — and US dollars are widely accepted. This currency stability makes Belize a popular base for US + Canadian businesses, retirees + investors, and a +501 number signals a local presence in that USD-aligned market.

05

CST (UTC−6): aligned with Central US

Belize runs on CST (UTC−6) all year with <b>no daylight saving time</b> — the same clock as Mexico City, Guatemala + the US Central time zone (Chicago, Dallas, Houston) for much of the year. Business hours align cleanly with Central + Mountain US markets.

06

Expat + retiree reach

Belize is a favourite for North American expats + retirees (the Qualified Retired Persons program draws thousands), real-estate buyers + offshore businesses. A +501 number gives you a credible local line for property, tourism + cross-border services without an in-country address.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Sound local. Anywhere in Belize.

Grab a Belizean 7-digit number — Belize City, Belmopan, San Ignacio or San Pedro style — and start calling, texting + receiving bank OTPs from real Belizean customers, all on CST.

The +501 country code was assigned to Belize by the ITU — placing it in ITU zone 5 covering Central + South America. The leading 5 groups Belize with its Central American neighbours: Guatemala +502, El Salvador +503 + Honduras +504. Belize takes the first slot, +501.
From the US, dial 011 (NANP exit code), then 501, then all 7 digits of the Belizean number. Example: 011 501 223 1234 for a Belize City landline, or 011 501 612 3456 for a Belizean mobile. On any mobile, replace 011 with +. Never drop a digit — Belize has no area-code 0.

From Mexico, dial 00 (Mexico exit code), then 501, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 501 223 1234 for Belize City. Mexico shares Belize\'s northern border at the Corozal / Chetumal crossing — one of the busiest land routes into Belize.
From Guatemala, dial 00 (Guatemala exit code), then 501, then all 7 digits. Example: 00 501 822 1234 for San Ignacio in the Cayo District, just across Belize\'s western border with Guatemala at Benque Viejo.

No. Belize has no area codes and uses a closed 7-digit numbering plan. Every Belizean number — landline + mobile — is exactly 7 digits, dialed in full with no trunk prefix + no area code. There is no leading 0 to add or drop. The same 7 digits are dialed from Belize City, Belmopan or abroad.
In Belize\'s 7-digit plan, the regulator (PUC) reserves the leading digit 6 for all mobile numbers — so every Belizean mobile is +501 6XX XXXX. Landlines begin with 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 or 8. The two networks, BTL/Digi + Smart, both issue 6-series mobile numbers, and numbers are 7 digits with no leading 0.
Belize has no area codes, so Belize City + Belmopan have no dedicated dialing prefix. Belize City landlines commonly begin with 2 (e.g. +501 223 1234), while Belmopan landlines often begin with 8 — but these are legacy patterns, not area codes. The full number is always 7 digits, dialed the same way everywhere.
+501 0800 is the Belizean toll-free range — calls are free for the caller; the business pays. Used by Belizean banks, BTL, utilities + larger businesses for customer-service lines. As with every Belizean number, it is dialed in full with no area code.
Belize runs on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−6) all year, with no daylight saving time. The clocks never change. This is the same time as Guatemala + Mexico City, and aligns with the US Central time zone (Chicago, Dallas, Houston) for much of the year.

Yes. Belize is the only English-speaking country in Central America — English is the official language, a legacy of its time as British Honduras (independent in 1981). Belizean Kriol + Spanish are also widely spoken, but government, education + business run in English.
Yes. CallMama issues a real Belizean +501 number from anywhere with internet access — no Belize address required + no in-person KYC. You get a full 7-digit Belizean number, live in about 60 seconds, ready to make + receive calls + texts.
Yes — they mean the same Belize country code, written different ways. +501 is the ITU-T E.123 international format. 00501 is the manual form: the 00 exit code used in most countries followed by 501.
Belize uses 911 as its main emergency number for Police, Fire + Ambulance; 90 also reaches the police in some areas. As with any phone, these short emergency codes are dialed directly within Belize and do not need the +501 country code.
