Colombia Virtual Number
A +57 number gives you a local Colombian line for a fast-growing digital market and one of the hottest remote-work destinations on earth. It activates in minutes off a crypto payment, no ID involved, and texting or calling either way is never metered.
One price for the number. Everything else is unlimited.
You pay to hold the number, and that is it. Sending and receiving texts, taking calls, and dialling out are all included with no per-message or per-minute charge. Top up in crypto, and your number stays live as long as your plan is active.
- Unlimited SMS, send and receive, verification codes included
- Unlimited calls, inbound and outbound, no per-minute meter
- Keep the same number, month to month or by the year
A Colombian line for a boom market
Colombia has quietly become one of the most exciting markets in Latin America: a young, connected population, a thriving marketplace and delivery economy, and Medellin in particular drawing remote workers from around the world. A +57 line lets you take part, as the number Colombian customers message, a marketplace verifies, or a newcomer sets up on arrival. A virtual one is live within minutes, no Colombian SIM required.
Nothing is capped on either end: a Bogota mobile or landline can be the number on your WhatsApp Business, the one that catches your Colombian codes, and the one contacts save, answered wherever you are.
It leaves no paperwork behind either: crypto covers the cost, the +57 number shows up in your dashboard, and nothing about it is entered under your name.
Codes land the second they are sent
Point any signup at your Colombia number and the verification SMS arrives in your dashboard right away, ready to copy. No SIM to swap, no roaming, no waiting. Replies and calls go back out from the same number, all included.
- Instant delivery of SMS codes to your account
- Reply and place calls from the same Colombia line
How Colombia numbers work
Your plan is one Colombia +57 number with unlimited texts and calls, both ways. We assign it from the ranges available to us, so the format is not something you pick at checkout. Here is what each kind of Colombia number looks like.
Mobile numbers
A ten-digit +57 mobile line starting 3, what Colombian apps and banks text a code to.
City numbers
A city line, so 601 reads as Bogota, 604 as Medellin, 602 as Cali.
Toll-free numbers (coming soon)
An 01800 line, free for callers across Colombia.
Which apps accept it
A Colombia +57 number works for most sign-ups. A few strict apps, including some messengers and banks, reject virtual numbers by policy, so here is what to expect by type of app.
No provider can promise every app accepts every number, and app policies change. For accounts you will log into again, keep your Colombia number rather than using a one-time code, so later login codes still reach you.
What people use a +57 number for
Settle into Medellin
For the remote workers flocking to Medellin, a +57 line sorts local signups, deliveries, and appointments and keeps you reachable without chasing a local SIM.
Do business on WhatsApp
Colombian commerce runs on WhatsApp. A +57 line on WhatsApp Business lets customers message and save you as a local business.
Sell on MercadoLibre
Colombia's leading marketplace expects a local number to list and message. List on MercadoLibre with a number that is not the one your friends have.
Keep Colombia reachable
The same +57 number keeps taking texts from Colombian banks and messages from your existing contacts wherever your next move takes you.
Good to know about Colombia numbers
How the numbers read
Colombian mobiles are ten digits starting 3, while landlines now carry a 60 prefix, so 601 is Bogota, 604 Medellin, 602 Cali.
A WhatsApp-first market
As across the region, contact and small business run on WhatsApp, so a local number that registers on it is the most useful to hold.
Apps and wallets
MercadoLibre, Rappi, and bank apps hinge on a mobile number. Wallets like Nequi additionally need a Colombian account, which the line does not provide.
Answers the same abroad
Running on our network rather than a Colombian SIM, a Bogota line rings through from Lisbon or Los Angeles with nothing more than an internet connection.
Medellin and Colombia's remote-work boom
In a few short years Medellin has gone from off the map to one of the world's favourite bases for remote workers, alongside a broader surge of interest in Bogota and the Colombian coast. Spring-like weather, low costs, and a welcoming digital-nomad visa have brought a steady international crowd.
Almost every one of them needs a Colombian number early, to arrange housing, order on Rappi, verify local accounts, and be reachable. A virtual +57 line covers that from day one, or before arrival, without a local SIM or the registration that comes with one, and keeps working whether you stay a month or a year.

Colombia number FAQ
Is there a ceiling on texts and calls?+

Does a Colombian number work with WhatsApp?+
Yes. A +57 line registers on WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, plus Telegram and Signal, which is how Colombian business mostly runs.
Will it receive Colombian bank codes?+
Yes. It takes the SMS one-time codes Colombian banks and services send to confirm a login or an action.

No. It is arranged online with no Colombian SIM and no ID form, the balance is topped up in crypto, and the line answers wherever your internet connection happens to be.
Can I use it for Nequi or local wallets?+
The number handles SMS verification, but Colombian wallets require a local bank account, which a phone line alone does not provide.
Can I keep it long-term?+
Yes. Keep the monthly or yearly plan active and the +57 number stays yours, working as a lasting line rather than a one-off.
Do I have to be in Colombia?+
No. It works over the internet, so Bogota, Los Angeles, or anywhere in between makes no difference.
