02The basics

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.

+50700507011 50700 507

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

03Dialing format

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.

04Number format

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.

06Mobile networks

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.

MM

Más Móvil (Cable & Wireless Panama / +Móvil)

major operator; absorbed the Claro customer base. All-mobile range 6XXX XXXX.

T

Tigo (Millicom)

major operator; absorbed Movistar. All-mobile range 6XXX XXXX.

07Time zone

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.

New York
12:00 (winter) / 13:00 (US summer)
Los Angeles
09:00 (winter) / 10:00 (US summer)
London
17:00 (winter) / 18:00 (UK summer)
Bogotá
12:00 (same — also UTC-5)
Madrid
18:00 (winter)
Best call windows

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.

Common mistakes when calling Panama

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

Hunting for an area code: Panama simply has none

dial the whole local number straight after +507.

Waiting to drop a leading 0: there's nothing to drop, so the local number goes in untouched

Miscounting length: a 7-digit number is a landline, an 8-digit one is a mobile

get the count right before you dial.

Reading the lead 6 as a carrier tell: with portability live, a 6-series mobile could sit on Tigo or Más Móvil

FAQ

Panama +507 — FAQ

Why doesn't Panama have area codes?expand_more

Its national plan is flat — location lives in the lead digit, not a separate code — so you dial the complete number after +507 every time.

How do I tell a landline from a mobile?expand_more

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

Is there a leading 0 to remove when calling from abroad?expand_more

No — Panama uses no trunk prefix, so the local number goes in exactly as written.

Does Panama line up with US business hours?expand_more

Yes — it holds UTC-5 with no DST, matching US Eastern in winter and US Central in summer, ideal for logistics and banking coordination.

Why are prices quoted in both balboas and dollars?expand_more

The balboa is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and the two circulate together, so any figure reads the same in either currency.
