Calling Ecuador from United States: what to know

Ecuador answers on the country code +593, with the capital in Quito and most business concentrated around Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. The working language for business is Spanish, Quechua, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:30 to 17:30. Coastal Guayaquil offices often start at 8:00; Andean Quito 9:00.

From United States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +593 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United States and Ecuador.

Most mobiles in Ecuador sit on operators such as Claro Ecuador, Movistar Ecuador, CNT Móvil. Ecuador uses the US dollar as its official currency since 2000, billing and rate references usually appear in USD.

Ecuador runs on UTC minus 5, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
