02The basics

What is the country code for Honduras?

Honduras dials in on +504, and the plan behind it is about as flat as they come. It's a closed eight-digit system: no area codes, no trunk prefix, no leading 0. Whether you're reaching Tegucigalpa from next door or from New Orleans, it's the same eight digits every time.

Honduras numbers in E.164 form are written +504 followed by 8 digits (e.g. +504 2234 5678).

+50400504011 50400 504

All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Honduras.

03Dialing format

How to call Honduras from anywhere

Calling Honduras is a two-step affair plus your exit code: exit code, 504, then the eight digits. Nothing to drop, nothing to prepend — the flat plan means the number you were given is the number you dial.

04Number format

Honduras phone number format explained

Eight digits, no area code — and the first digit settles the question of landline or mobile. A 2 up front is a fixed line; a 3, 7, 8 or 9 is a mobile. That's the whole rule.

Landline

+504 2XXX XXXX (8 digits, begins with 2). Example Tegucigalpa: +504 2234 5678.

Mobile

+504 [3/7/8/9]XXX XXXX (8 digits). Example: +504 9912 3456.

06Mobile networks

Honduras mobile network prefixes

The prefix after +504 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

*

**Tigo** (market leader)

original prefix 9.

C

Claro

original prefix 3 (Claro also absorbed Digicel's prefix 8).

H

Hondutel (Honducel)

original prefix 7.

07Time zone

Honduras time zone

Honduras holds Central Standard Time (CST), UTC-6, all year — no daylight saving to juggle. One zone nationwide, which makes it easy for the large diaspora in the US to line up a call with family or colleagues back home.

Best call windows

From the US East Coast, mid-morning through early afternoon ET sits right inside the Honduran workday — and since CST is only an hour behind, evening calls home to family land comfortably too. From Europe, early afternoon catches the Honduran morning.

Common mistakes when calling Honduras

Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.

Hunting for an area code

Honduras has none. The flat eight-digit plan is the most distinctive thing about dialing here: no city code exists, so don't insert one or wait for a prompt that never comes.

Adding a leading 0

there's no trunk prefix either; nothing sits in front of the eight digits.

Using 011 from outside North America

only the US and Canada use 011; elsewhere it's 00.

Sending only seven digits

Honduran numbers are eight; a short dial fails.

Reading the carrier off the prefix

portability since 2014 means 3/7/8/9 no longer pins the current network.

10Save money

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Honduras

Move +504 calls onto VoIP and leave carrier international tariffs behind

useful for diaspora families calling home often.

Keep a Honduran virtual number so contacts dial you locally instead of paying international rates.

Terminate over SIP rather than handing calls to the PSTN.

Bunch your calls into the CST workday to cut down on retries.

Does Honduras really have no area codes?expand_more

Correct — it's a flat eight-digit plan. There's no city code and no trunk prefix; you dial the same eight digits whether the call is local or national.

How do I tell a Honduran mobile from a landline?expand_more

The first digit decides it: 2 is a landline, while 3, 7, 8 or 9 is a mobile.

011, then 504, then the eight-digit number. CST is just an hour behind ET, so evenings line up well.
