The Belize country code is +501 — reaching the only English-speaking nation in Central America, ~410,000 Belizeans across Belize Telemedia (BTL/Digi) + Smart. The Belize Barrier Reef, the Great Blue Hole + ancient Maya cities sit behind +501 — and Belizean bank verifications expect a +501 mobile.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every country uses a different exit code before +501. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +501 223 1234 works worldwide. Belizean numbers are always 7 digits — never drop a digit.

+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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
