Why GlobCall for Calls to Mexico
Calling cards have hidden fees and expiration dates. Carrier international plans cost $10–15/month whether you call or not. And Google Voice rates to Mexico aren't as cheap as they seem. Here's what's different.
You see the price before you dial
The per-minute rate shows on screen before the call connects. What you see is what you pay. No connection fee, no minute-rounding, no surprises.
No subscriptions, no monthly fees
Buy $5 or more in credit. Use it this week or six months from now. Unlike carrier add-ons, you only pay for what you use.
Landlines for $0.03/min
Calling a business, a government office, or grandma's house phone? Landline calls to Mexico cost just 3 cents per minute. That's 30 minutes for under a dollar.
Same rate from anywhere
Whether you're in Texas, Toronto, or Tokyo — the rate to Mexico stays the same. No location-based surcharges.
Shared balance for the family
One account works on multiple devices. Parents, siblings, and kids can all use the same balance to call Mexico instead of buying separate credit.
Works for business too

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest way to call Mexico from the US?
A browser-based VoIP service. US carriers charge $0.25–2.00/min for calls to Mexico without an international plan. GlobCall is $0.09/min to mobiles and $0.03/min to landlines — no monthly fee, no contract.
Can I call a Mexican landline from abroad?
Yes. Mexico still has millions of active landlines, especially in homes and businesses. With GlobCall, landline calls cost just $0.03/min — cheaper than mobile. Enter the 10-digit number and we handle the +52 formatting.
What is the country code for Mexico?
+52. Since 2019, all Mexican numbers are 10 digits. For Mexico City, numbers typically start with 55. For Guadalajara, 33. For Monterrey, 81. GlobCall adds the +52 automatically when you select Mexico.
Can I call Mexico for free?
WhatsApp and FaceTime are free if both people have the app and good internet. But they can't reach landlines, businesses without smartphones, or people in areas with poor connectivity. GlobCall gives you one free call to try it, then mobiles are $0.09/min.
How do I call a Mexican cell phone?
On a regular phone: dial +52 followed by the 10-digit number. On GlobCall: pick Mexico, type the 10 digits, press call. No need to add country codes — we handle it.
Is WhatsApp good enough for calling Mexico?
For casual calls to people with the app and stable WiFi, it works. But try calling your bank in Mexico City, a hospital in Guadalajara, or your landlord with a flip phone. For those, you need something that connects to the actual phone network. See our WhatsApp vs GlobCall comparison.
Are calling cards worth it for Mexico?
Rarely. Most charge $0.50–1.00 just to connect, then bill in 3-minute blocks. The advertised '1 cent/minute' disappears after fees and rounding. GlobCall has no connection fee, bills per actual minute, and your balance doesn't expire.
Do I need to install anything?
No. GlobCall runs in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Open the site, sign in, dial. Works on your laptop, phone, or tablet.
How does billing work?
Buy credit from $5. The per-minute cost is deducted as you talk. You see the rate before the call starts. Whatever you don't use stays in your account — it doesn't expire.
What's the time difference between the US and Mexico?
Most of Mexico is on Central Time (same as Chicago, Houston, Dallas). Baja California follows Pacific Time. So if you're on the East Coast, Mexico City is 1 hour behind. West Coast? Same time or 1 hour ahead depending on the region.
