Learn how to call Ecuador from the US using the country code (+593), avoid high costs, and explore smart calling solutions for SMBs with DialLink.
Let’s say you’re onboarding a supplier in Guayaquil or checking in with a remote contractor in Quito. You’ve got your phone in hand and ready to dial — and then pause. How exactly do you call Ecuador from the United States?
If your business is expanding into LATAM markets or managing international teams, this guide is for you. We’ll walk through the correct dialing format, the Ecuador country code, and tools that make international communication simple and cost-effective for startups and SMBs.
The country code for Ecuador is +593. This three-digit code routes your international calls to Ecuador from anywhere in the world. When calling from the US, you’ll need to enter it immediately after the international exit code.
Let’s break down the dialing sequence for both landlines and mobile phones:
Example: To call a landline in Quito, you’d dial 011-593-2-XXXXXXX
Example: For mobile number 099-123-4567, dial 011-593-99-1234567 or +593-99-1234567.
On most smartphones, long-pressing 0 gives you the “+” symbol to replace 011.
Here are some of the most common area codes in Ecuador, along with the locations they correspond to:
Area Code | Location |
---|---|
2 | Quito |
4 | Guayaquil |
7 | Cuenca |
6 | Ibarra |
5 | Manta, Portoviejo |
Knowing the right area code ensures that your call reaches the correct region.
Whether it’s managing an outsourced support team or exploring Latin American partnerships, small businesses are increasingly dialing into Ecuador. Common use cases include:
Time zone tip: Ecuador is typically in the same time zone as US Eastern Time or just one hour behind, making it convenient for collaboration.
Traditional carriers often charge $0.50 to $1.20 per minute for calls to Ecuador. Some services also provide the option to purchase international calling credits or add-ons that reduce the per-minute rate.
With DialLink, you can lower costs thanks to affordable and transparent international rates.
