Establishing telephone communication with individuals or entities in Colombia from the United States involves a specific dialing sequence. This sequence includes the exit code for the United States, the country code for Colombia, a city code, and the recipient’s local phone number. An example would be dialing 011 (US exit code), 57 (Colombia country code), a city code like 1 (Bogota), and then the local seven-digit number.
