Calling Colombia — Things to Know
- WhatsApp dominates communication in Colombia — 94% penetration, with users spending 24+ hours per month on the app. Colombian carriers even include unlimited WhatsApp in most plans. However, WhatsApp calls only work over internet and can't reach landlines.
- Colombia is on UTC−5 year-round (no daylight saving), nearly matching US Eastern Time. During US daylight saving it's just 1 hour behind — one of the easiest Latin American destinations to coordinate calls with.
- BubblyPhone's rates start at just $0.02/min to Colombia — a $5 top-up gives you over 4 hours of calling to Movistar numbers. That's incredibly affordable compared to AT&T and T-Mobile at $3.00/min.
- Colombia has three major carriers — Claro (45% market share), Movistar (25%), and Tigo (18%). A Tigo-Movistar merger is underway in 2026, which will create a near-duopoly with Claro.
- Peak calling periods include Christmas/New Year (mid-December through early January), Semana Santa (Holy Week), and Independence Day (July 20). Colombia has 18 public holidays per year — one of the most in the world.
- BubblyPhone works from any web browser — no app download required. Also available on iOS and Android for calling on the go.
- Enable AI transcription ($0.02/min) to get a written record and summary of your call — available in English and Spanish. Useful for business calls or keeping track of family conversations.
