Belize is the only Central American country where English is the official language, which has made it a favourite for American and Canadian retirees and expats. Tourism around the barrier reef and Maya sites keeps local businesses busy on WhatsApp. Its short seven-digit numbers are easy to recognise, and a +501 number signals a genuine local presence.
