Essential Contact Guide

Navigating Panama with Phone Numbers and Addresses

Navigating through Panama often requires access to the right contact details. Below, we've compiled a comprehensive list of essential phone numbers and addresses for various services and organizations across Panama. This compilation covers emergency aid, hospital information, government agencies, cell phone networks, airport particulars, and details about different churches. Keep in mind that contact information might change, so consider verifying with respective organizations for the latest details.

When dialing Panama from abroad, remember to include the Panamanian country code, 507, before the actual number. Within Panama, you can dial the number directly without the country code prefix. Note that Panama doesn't use area codes for local calls. Panamanian mobile numbers usually start with 6 and have 8 digits, while landlines have 7 digits.

Addressing in Panama is unique; there's no standard mail system or street addresses. Some companies manage their mail delivery, often referencing landmarks for directions. Regular mail is limited, with companies relying on mailboxes.

If searching for a specific address, consider taking a taxi, as drivers know building names but might not be familiar with street addresses.
