About Honduras Calling Code
To reach Honduras from another country, first dial the international calling code +504 — assigned by the ITU — followed by the local number. Honduras is located in North America, in Central America.
International calling codes follow the ITU-T standards E.123 and E.164, which define how phone numbers are written and dialed across borders. The prefix you dial after the exit code tells the global telephone network which national network to route the call to.
Where the +504 Calling Code Is Used
The country code +504 is assigned to Honduras, located in Central America, with the capital Tegucigalpa. This code is part of the international telephony numbering plan and is used for all calls made to Honduras from outside the country.
When a number is written as +504 …, the +504 prefix directs your call to the Honduras national network. After the prefix, dial the area code without its leading zero, then the subscriber number — the same pattern for landlines and mobiles.
ITU-T E.164 groups calling codes by world region; codes beginning with 5 cover the part of the world that includes Honduras, in Central America. Storing numbers with +504 and omitting the domestic leading zero keeps contacts dialable from anywhere.
Honduras Phone Number Formats
The ITU E.164 format for Honduras numbers is +504 + area code + subscriber number, used for landlines and mobiles alike. Here is the general structure:
📱 Number Structure
- International format: +504 [area code] [subscriber number]
- From abroad: exit code + +504 + local number (drop the trunk prefix 0)
- Within Honduras: dial the local number directly
Numbering plans vary: closed plans use fixed-length national numbers, while open plans allow variable lengths with a trunk prefix (usually 0) that is dropped for international calls. For calls to Honduras, replace the trunk zero with +504.
Time Zone in Honduras
The local time in Honduras follows the America/Tegucigalpa time zone (UTC-06:00 UTC). Check the time difference before you dial so your call arrives during waking hours.
Time differences matter when calling Honduras: if it is UTC-06:00 there, a morning call from Europe may reach Tegucigalpa in the afternoon, while callers in the Americas should check the offset to avoid late-night calls.
If Honduras observes daylight saving time, its UTC offset shifts by an hour twice a year. Double-check the current offset before time-sensitive calls, especially in spring and autumn.

Example: Calling Honduras Numbers in Practice
Here is how a typical call to Honduras works, depending on where you are calling from:
🌍 From the United States or Canada
- Dial the US/Canada exit code 011
- Dial the Honduras country code +504
- Dial the local number (area code + subscriber number, without the trunk prefix 0)
Example: 011 +504 [area code] [number]
🌍 From the United Kingdom or Europe
- Dial the international access code 00 (or use the + symbol on mobile)
