Tips for clear & uninterrupted calls

Whether you're reaching Colombia for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.

  • 01

    HD audio for Colombia calls

    Bogotá routes perform best with an HD-compatible headset — G.722 wideband is supported on most VoIP paths to Colombia and makes voices noticeably clearer.

  • 02

    Connection quality to Colombia

    Bogotá is ~10,301 km away — latency runs 280–310ms. Use wired ethernet to eliminate Wi-Fi jitter on this long-haul path.

  • 03

    Best time to call Bogotá

    Schedule Colombia calls during Bogotá business hours — 09:00–17:00 America/Bogota — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.

FAQ

Questions about calling Colombia, answered.

Everything a business or traveller needs to know before dialling Colombia (+57). Can't find an answer? Our team is one click away.

Q1.What is the country code for Colombia?
Colombia's international calling code is +57. Dial it immediately after your exit prefix and before the local subscriber number whenever calling from outside Colombia.
Q2.What is the best time to call Colombia?
Tuesday–Wednesday, 9:00–11:00 AM COT (UTC−5) is the peak window. Colombia runs on Colombia Time year-round — fixed at UTC−5 with no daylight saving. Bogotá professionals typically start at 8 AM. Avoid Holy Week (Semana Santa), the July 20 Independence Day cluster, and the December Christmas–New Year break.
Q3.How do I call a mobile number in Colombia?
Colombian mobiles are 10 digits starting with 3xx — no leading zero to drop when dialling internationally. Dial +57 then the full 10-digit number. A typical Colombian mobile: +57 310 123 4567.
Q4.What is the + sign for when dialling Colombia?
The + replaces your local international exit code. When you call Colombia using +57, your carrier automatically substitutes the correct exit prefix (00 in Europe, 011 in North America, 0011 in Australia) before the call goes out.
Q5.What does +57 stand for?
+57 is the ITU-assigned international dialling prefix for Colombia. The leading 5 identifies it as a Zone 5 country in the global E.164 numbering plan, which covers Americas.
