How numbers in Ecuador are built
A number in Ecuador is the country code +593 followed by a national number of 8 or 9 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 099 123 4567, an example mobile number in Ecuador is dialed as +593 99 123 4567 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 when you dial it with the country code.
Why a call to Ecuador fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +593 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 593 as the start of a number in Spain, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Ecuador has 8 or 9 digits after +593.
Best time to call
Ecuador is 6 h behind Spain. When it is 12:00 in Spain, it is 06:00 in Ecuador.
That gap moves between 6 h and 7 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
Spain changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
Spain moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
Ecuador does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC-5 all year.
Where a country spans several time zones, this page uses its main one, so the real gap can differ by a few hours.
The weekend in Ecuador is Saturday and Sunday.
