Colombia

According to ALLCITYCODES.COM, the area code of Colombia is +57, which was adopted in 1997 when the country switched to the ITU-T E.164 numbering system. The code is divided into two parts: ‘+’ and ‘57’. The ‘+’ indicates that the number is international and the ‘57’ identifies the country as Colombia. In Colombia, telephone numbers are usually 10 digits long and are divided into three parts: a three-digit area code, a four-digit exchange code and a three-digit line number. Area codes indicate the geographic region of the phone number and are used to route incoming calls to their respective locations. Exchange codes identify specific local calling areas within each geographic region, while line numbers identify individual subscribers within each local calling area. Colombia has seen advances in telecommunication services over recent years, with mobile phone penetration rates increasing rapidly across both rural and urban areas of the country. This has been driven by increased investment in infrastructure improvements as well as technological advancements such as 4G networks being rolled out in major cities across Colombia. As such, it is important for businesses operating within Colombia to ensure they are using the correct area codes when making calls within the country as well as when communicating with other countries around the world. Colombia has a long history of political instability, with many different factions vying for power. The country has been through multiple civil wars and military coups throughout its history. The current political system is a presidential republic, in which the president is elected directly by the people. The president appoints a cabinet of ministers and is responsible for running the country. The legislative branch is made up of two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives, both of which are elected by popular vote. Colombia also has an independent judiciary system that is separate from the executive and legislative branches. Its judicial system includes the Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, Council of State, Superior Courts and other specialized courts. In recent years Colombia has made great strides towards peace and stability with various peace accords being signed between different factions in the country. This has allowed for greater economic growth and development as well as increasing political freedoms for citizens across the country. PROEXCHANGERATES: Features public policy of Colombia.
