I have had problems dialing with my regular phone company here in Canada. I call my girlfriend with skype and it costs 11.5 cents a minute. That should be 11.3 cents american. It's not always 57-312 for instance comcel is 310 but 3 is the area code for cell phones.

I have been calling and text messaging girls in Colombia and Brazil for a long time. Here is my advice.
First, the others are correct that from USA dial 011 57 312-447-xxxx

Second, save time and money by texting each other, only 10-15cents.

Third, use an online virtual phone card. I use http://www.teletelonline.com/
They have local access numbers in the states. After you charge once and enter your pin the first time, you don't need to enter a pin ever again. You register your telephone number and it recognizes your caller id from then on. After using up a card, just recharge it in the next call by pressing 1 or 2. Very easy.

Mikey,

People advicing you to dial 011 in front of the number you were given are right. This is the US exit code used to dial out of the US. Here's a useful page http://www.howtocallabroad.com/colombia/ . Keep in mind that calls to cell phones in other countries cost much more than calls to land lines (usually international calling service providers display both rates).

I hope this helps.

The main problem with calling cards is that most have high connection fees, taxes and weekly maintenance fees. These will eat up a huge portion of your card's value.

buy the same card that all the colombians here use to call home. there are some good ones that give you a couple of hours chat time for less than 2 bucks and no extra connection fee.
