Panama at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Panama?
Panama answers to +507. What sets it apart is what's missing: no trunk prefix, no area codes. Whatever the local number is, that's exactly what you dial after +507 — nothing trimmed, nothing tacked on. Landlines run 7 digits and open with a 2; mobiles run 8 digits and always open with a 6. For a country that handles world shipping and offshore banking, the phone plan is refreshingly uncomplicated.
Code +507 was assigned to Panama by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Panama.
How to call Panama from anywhere
No mental arithmetic required — exit code → 507 → the entire local number, every digit intact. Because there's no 0 to strip, what you see is what you dial.
Full example: +507 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Panama phone number format explained
Panama runs a flat plan — no area codes, just length and a lead digit. Landlines are 7 digits opening with 2; mobiles are 8 digits opening with 6. The first landline digit gives a rough geography read (2/3 = Panama City, 4 = Colón at the canal's Atlantic mouth, 7 = Chiriquí/Bocas del Toro, 9 = the central provinces).
Landline
NNN NNNN (7 digits) → +507 NNN NNNN. Example: 200 1234 → +507 200 1234.
Mobile
6NNN NNNN (8 digits) → +507 6NNN NNNN. Example: 6123 4567 → +507 6123 4567.
Panama mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +507 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Más Móvil (Cable & Wireless Panama / +Móvil)
major operator; absorbed the Claro customer base. All-mobile range 6XXX XXXX.
Tigo (Millicom)
major operator; absorbed Movistar. All-mobile range 6XXX XXXX.
Panama time zone
Panama holds UTC-5 every day of the year — the same offset as US Eastern Standard Time, but with no daylight saving to chase. The upshot for a hub that never stops moving cargo and money: in US winter Panama lines up with New York, and in US summer it slides to match US Central. The clock here simply never moves, so your saved meeting times stay put.
Because Panama tracks the US East Coast, a New York or Miami team can reach Panama City almost any hour of its own working day — handy when you're coordinating shipping, logistics or banking across the same business clock. Bogotá sits on the identical offset, so intra-Latin-America calls need zero conversion.

Count the digits: 7 digits starting with 2 is a landline, 8 digits starting with 6 is a mobile.
