Questions about +58
Which country is +58?
+58, or country code 58, belongs to Venezuela. No other country shares it.
What is +58?
+58 is the part you dial before a Venezuelan number when you call from another country. It replaces the first 0, so a Caracas number written as 0212 1234567 at home becomes +58 212 1234567 from abroad.
Is the VE country code the same as +58?
No. VE is the ISO code of Venezuela, used in forms and address fields. The number you dial is +58.
What is the difference between +58 and 0058?
The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in Venezuela, Europe, and most of Latin America, so 0058 and +58 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 58 instead.
Do I drop the 0 after +58?
Yes. The 0 is Venezuela's trunk prefix and works only inside the country. Dial +58 212 1234567, not +58 0212 1234567.
Can I text a +58 number?
Yes. Write the number as +58 without its first 0, so a Caracas number becomes +58 212 1234567, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.
How much does it cost to call Venezuela?
A call to a Venezuelan 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.
Why do Venezuelan mobile numbers start with 4?
All Venezuelan mobile numbers start with 4. Two other prefixes, 417 and 418, were deleted from the plan in 2006.
