Calling Honduras from United States
Dial 011 (the United States exit code), then 504 (Honduras’s country code), then the local number exactly as written. So +504 2234 5678 is dialled as 011 504 2234 5678. From a mobile you can dial +504 directly instead of 011.

Step by step
Dialing Honduras from United States
Four steps, and the third one is where almost every failed call goes wrong.
- 1
Dial 011: the exit code for United States
011 tells the United States network that the call is leaving the country. On a mobile you can press and hold 0 to type a + instead, which works from any country and any SIM; it is the more reliable option when you travel. - 2
Dial 504: the country code for Honduras
504 is Honduras's country calling code. It never changes and is the same no matter where you are calling from. - 3
Dial the local number exactly as written
Honduras has no national trunk prefix, so there is nothing to remove. The number you would dial locally is the number you dial after 504. - 4
Check the local time before you dial
Honduras is on CST (UTC−6, no DST) and United States is on ET (UTC−5/−4). Work out the overlap before calling; the most common cause of an unanswered international business call is simply the hour.
