Question: How do I call a +51 number? The number I want to call is +51 1 200xxxx.
Answer: +51 is the country code for Peru. To call +51:
- Dial your country’s exit code. ‘011’ for the United States and Canada, ’00’ for many South American and European countries. Dialing a ‘+’ symbol on a mobile phone will automatically dial the local exit code.
- Dial ’51’ for Peru’s country code. This will connect your call to Peruvian phone network.
- Dial the rest of the phone number. Do not dial any leading ‘0’ in the telephone number.
As this phone number begins with area code ‘1’ it appears to be for the city of Lima.
