I cannot call to a Mexican cell from my skype program. When I punch in #'s starting with 044646......., with Mexico selected as the country calling to
(calling from within MX, same city) the Skype changes the dailing number to: 5244646....... . As you can see, 52 is added; the "0" in front of the 044
is deleted, and the call does not go thru and ring.

Are you registered with skype as a USA user? If so then skype thinks you are calling from the US and you would need to put in all the necessary
country codes to call Mexico from a US telephone. If you are registered as a Mexican user then I have no idea why you are having problems.

Hola O.G. you don't need the 044 to Skype a MX cell #. The #'s should read 52-1-646........goldhuntress - 1-2-2012 at 10:20 AM
Yes I agree with guero, it's different than calling a cell from a landline. I don't know why. Took me a lot of goggling to find that out.O.G. - 1-2-2012 at 04:56 PM

Nope, still cannot call a cell # in MX with skype. Started with 52-1-646 etc.; then tried to enter 011 first; then tried every possible combination --
no joy. Gotta go to the marina office I guess. But there has to be a secret somewhere... .goldhuntress - 1-3-2012 at 12:05 AM
Calling a Mexico Cell Phone with Skype
Anyone who has tried to call a Mexico cell phone with Skype has run into problems. The simple solutions is to call in this format
Mexico Cell phone dial: + 52 + 1 + area code + number
This will solve any problems when making a call to a Mexican
cell phone from Skype. It may also help with other VOIP services
like Vonage.
This has worked for me.O.G. - 1-3-2012 at 09:06 AM
BINGO! My trick was to first dial "01", then the area code, etc. The skype program then converts it to 52-1-area code and I connected. Gheesh, what a
learning curve... .
