How to Call Honduras from USA – A Detailed Guide

Alright, let’s get this sorted. You need to check on your abuela in Tegucigalpa, plan a surf trip with your friend in San Pedro Sula, or maybe just hear the waves from Roatan. But international dialing? It can feel like trying to read a map without glasses. Not cool.

No worries, we’re simplifying it. This is your zero-stress guide to calling Honduras from the US, whether it’s a celular or a teléfono fijo. We’re keeping it clear for everyone, from your tías to your Gen-Z self.

And a big gracias to our Talk Home family who are already with us—you guys are totally awesome. This one’s for you too.

Let’s do this.

The Basic Dialing Format: The Blueprint

Think of it like your favorite recipe for baleadas. You need the right ingredients in the right order.

Here’s the universal formula from a US phone:

011 + 504 + [Local Phone Number]

The Breakdown:

• 011: This is the US Exit Code. It’s you telling the network, “I’m making an international call, amigo!”
• 504: This is Honduras’s Country Code. It’s the direct line to Honduras.
• [Local Phone Number]: This is the key part! In Honduras, this is usually an 8-digit number. No city code needed!

Honduras’s International Dialing Code

Lock this in: Honduras’s country code is 504. After you dial the US exit code (011), this is the next thing you punch in. No exceptions.

Real-World Examples: Let’s Simulate

Let’s make this super practical. Here’s exactly how you’d dial.

Scenario 1: Calling a Landline in Tegucigalpa
Your family’s landline number is 2234-5678.

From your US phone, you dial:
011 504 2234 5678

Scenario 2: Calling a Honduran Mobile Phone
Your friend’s mobile number is 9876-5432.

From your US phone, you dial:
011 504 9876 5432

See? It’s actually super simple. You just dial the exit code, country code, and the 8-digit number. You’re basically a pro.

How Honduran Numbers Work

Here’s the thing that makes Honduras easy: there are no separate city or area codes to memorize. All numbers across the country—whether in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, or the Bay Islands—are 8 digits long. You just dial the full 8-digit number after 504.

• Landlines often start with 2.
• Mobile numbers often start with 3, 7, 8, or 9.

So you only need to remember one thing: 011 + 504 + 8-digit number.

Time Zone Differences: Don’t Call Too Early

Before you press call, do a quick time check. You don’t want to interrupt siesta time.

• Honduras is on Central Standard Time (CST) year-round.
• This means Honduras is usually 2 hours behind Eastern Time (ET).
• So, if it’s 2:00 PM in New York, it’s a calm 12:00 PM (noon) in Tegucigalpa.

The rule: Honduras is behind the US. Your afternoon is their late morning. Perfect for a lunchtime check-in.

Calling Costs & Tips: Protect Your Lempiras

Let’s talk about the important part: your budget. Using a regular US carrier to call Honduras can be a major wallet-drain. They charge crazy fees per minute. That’s a hard pass.

Pro-Tips to Save Your Money:

1. Use WiFi-Calling Apps: WhatsApp is huge in Honduras. It’s 100% free if both of you have the app and WiFi. Perfect for long chats.
2. Get an International Plan That Actually Makes Sense: This is where we shine. Talk Home is built for this. We give you super low rates to call Honduras with no hidden fees. It’s the smart move.
