Questions about +53

Which country is +53?

+53, or country code 53, belongs to Cuba. No other country shares this code.

What is +53?

+53 is the part you dial before a Cuban number when you call from another country. It replaces the 0 at the start of the local number.

What is the difference between +53 and 0053?

The + stands for your own exit code. In most countries that is 00, so 0053 and +53 reach the same number. From the US or Canada, dial 011 53 instead.

Do I drop the 0 after +53?

Yes. Cuban area codes start with 0 only inside the country, such as 07 for Havana. Dial +53 7 for Havana, not +53 07.

Can I text a +53 number?

Yes, if it is a Cuban mobile number, which starts with 5. Write it as +53 without the leading 0, and your carrier sends the text at its international rate.

How much does it cost to call Cuba?

A call to a Cuban mobile costs more than a call to a landline. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.

What is the emergency number in Cuba?

Cuba has no single emergency number. Dial 106 for police, 105 for fire, or 104 for an ambulance.

Why does a Cuban mobile number not have an area code?

Cuban mobile numbers use nationwide codes (5, 63, or 64) instead of a province code, so the same digits work anywhere on the island.
