Calling Belize: telephone code and dialing format

Belize's country calling code

The international calling code for Belize is +501. This is the country-level code listed for Belize in the standard table of country calling codes, as that table stood when it was consulted in November 2026. The code identifies Belize as a whole. It does not point to a particular town, district or service within the country.

You need the code only for calls placed to Belize from another country. It tells the international network which country the call is going to, and the subscriber number that follows identifies the specific line.

How to dial a Belize number from abroad

An international call to Belize has three parts, dialed in this order:

• 1. The international access (exit) prefix used in the country you are calling from
• 2. 501, the country code for Belize
• 3. The Belize subscriber number

[exit prefix] 501 [Belize subscriber number]

On mobile phones and many internet calling services, you can type a plus sign in place of the exit prefix. The network then supplies the correct prefix for your location, so this format works the same way wherever you are calling from:

+501 [Belize subscriber number]

What depends on your location

The exit prefix is set by the country you are calling from, not by Belize. No calling origin was specified for this guide, so a single, definitive sequence cannot be given. As a general convention, many countries use 00, and countries in the North American Numbering Plan, including the United States and Canada, use 011. The supplied source material does not confirm the prefix for any particular country, so check with your phone provider if you are unsure.

Calling from | Sequence to dial

A country whose exit prefix is 00 | 00 501 [Belize subscriber number]

The United States, Canada or another country whose exit prefix is 011 | 011 501 [Belize subscriber number]

A mobile phone, from any country | +501 [Belize subscriber number]

Details to check before you dial

The source material supplied for this guide confirms only the country code. It does not state how many digits Belize subscriber numbers have, whether any internal area or regional codes are used, or whether numbers written for domestic use carry a trunk prefix. If the number you have begins with a digit that appears to be meant only for calls inside Belize, confirm whether to drop it after 501. Your phone provider, or the person or organization you are trying to reach, can confirm the correct format.
