Caller Instructions
Local callers within Cañuelas should dial the 7-digit number directly. National callers from other Argentine provinces must dial the trunk prefix '0', followed by the area code 2226 and the subscriber number.

Always verify the current dialing procedures with your service provider, as VoIP and mobile networks may require additional prefixes.
