Overview of Area Code 711 (Mexico)
Area code 711 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the state of Michoacán de Ocampo, located in southwestern Mexico. It serves a portion of the state's central and western regions, including the city of Zamora de Hidalgo and its surrounding municipalities. The code is part of the Mexican numbering plan administered by the Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT) under the ITU-T E.164 standard.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 711 area code covers a mix of urban and rural communities within Michoacán. Key localities include Zamora, Jacona, Tangancícuaro, and Chilchota. These areas are known for agricultural production, particularly avocados and berries, and have a growing commercial sector. The region is served by both fixed-line (PSTN) and mobile operators, though mobile numbers in Mexico are non-geographic and do not use area codes.
Dialing Formats
For local calls within the 711 area code, the national format is 8 digits (the local subscriber number). However, since 2019, Mexico eliminated the need to dial the prefix 01 for national long-distance calls. To call a fixed-line number in the 711 area from another state in Mexico, dial 711 followed by the 7-digit local number. For example, to call a number in Zamora, you would dial 711 123 4567.
For international callers, the format is +52 711 123 4567 (or +52-711-123-4567). The country code for Mexico is +52, and the area code is 711. When calling from the United States or Canada, you can use the international prefix 011 or the plus sign, so 011 52 711 123 4567 or +52 711 123 4567.
Overlay and Numbering Changes
Currently, there is no overlay code for 711; it is the sole area code for this region. However, as demand for numbers grows, the IFT may introduce an overlay in the future. In such a case, 10-digit dialing would become mandatory for all calls within the region. As of now, local calls within the 711 area can be made using 7-digit dialing, but for clarity and future-proofing, it is recommended to always use the full 10-digit format (area code + number) for national calls.
Caller Instructions
Local callers (within the 711 area): Dial the 7-digit subscriber number. National callers from other area codes: Dial 711 + 7-digit number. International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 52, then 711, then the 7-digit number. Remember to omit any leading zeros when dialing internationally.
