First, you are calling from a line that allows for international calling? Next, you are using the proper country code to make the call? United States is +1. In addition, the NM BON has a voice system, this may cause problems depending on the type of phone you are using.

New Mexico just changed the areas code to 575 in some places try that with the rest of the number you have that also might be why you can not get through.

The area code remains 505 in the Albuquerque area.

In the many times that I have called their office, I had only one chance to speak to an actual person. Usually when I call, an answering machine greets me. But the nice thing there is if you leave your name and contact details, they are prompt in returning your call and answering your questions.
