How to Call Mexico City From the U.S.

Making an international call to Mexico City is almost as easy as making a local phone call; it's just a matter of adding a few extra digits. Calling on a conventional phone line is generally not very expensive (check with your telephone service provider for specific rates), and there are also several voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) providers that will allow you to call conventional phones for a very low rate or even to call another computer for free.
