hey everybody I need to ask a small favor of anyone living in pdc. last year we had a native help us out and we want to contact her as we are coming down for a month and will need her services again. her name is blanca and her phone number is 0449841008558. there is no way my gringo booty will figure out the phone thing, please help. If someone could call her and tell her that her friend joe the chef and his family are staying at las palmas jan11- feb 6 and to contact us there on the 11th or 12th I will be most gracious. James if you can hook me up there is a 6 pack of porter in it for you, anyone else just ask me for a favor and it will be yours. peace in the middle east joe

0449841008558

Dialing from the US to Mexico is 011-52
44 would be the international code for England

so I would try 011-52-984-100-8558

But first I would dial 10-10-987 (.09 cents a minute, .99 cent connection fee) as opposed to the 2.00 a minute normal rate.

That's an odd phone number for Playa. I've never seen a 100 prefix. It's usually 873 or 875.

That's what I thought. Cell phone maybe?

I googled the general number and found others

Brigitte
Cell: (+52) 044 984 100 4950

So yes it is a Cell

So from USA

011 52 044 984 100 4950

or locally

044 984 100 4850 (if you call the cell YOU pay for the call)

As Playa grows a bunch of new numbers have been added to the pool, both when it comes to landlines and to cellular phones. For landlines some new prefixes are 206 (El Ejido) and 879 (centro). 100 is a new prefix for cellular phones.

Thanks, Anna. Appreciate the info.

Another day that we can place a bit of knowledge away for a rainy day! Happy New Year to all.
