📍 Geographic Location of Campeche
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The area code 982 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the state of Campeche, Mexico, under the international country calling code +52. This code serves the central and eastern portions of the state, including the capital city of San Francisco de Campeche (commonly referred to as Campeche City) and its surrounding metropolitan area. The jurisdiction extends to nearby localities such as Chiná, Pocyaxum, and other communities within the municipality of Campeche. As a geographic code, it is tied to a specific PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) region, and numbers under this prefix are allocated to fixed-line services, including residential, business, and government lines.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For callers within Mexico, the national dialing format requires the long-distance prefix 01 followed by the area code and the local 7-digit subscriber number. For example, to call a fixed line in Campeche City from another Mexican state, you would dial 01 982 XXX XXXX. However, if you are calling from a mobile phone within Mexico, the national prefix 01 is often omitted, and you may dial 982 XXX XXXX directly, depending on your carrier's dialing plan. For international callers, the format is +52 982 XXX XXXX (or 011 52 982 XXX XXXX from the US/Canada). It is crucial to drop the leading 0 when dialing from abroad. Local calls within the same area code do not require the area code; simply dial the 7-digit number.
Overlay Considerations and Numbering Plan
Currently, there is no overlay code for the 982 area code; it remains the sole geographic code for this region. The subscriber number length is 7 digits, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 10 digits (area code + subscriber number), which complies with ITU-T E.164 recommendations. As Mexico's numbering plan evolves, it is essential to verify the current dialing procedures with your telecom provider, especially for VoIP and mobile users, as they may experience variations in call routing.
