Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The 2241 area code covers the Partido de Chascomús, which includes the city of Chascomús and smaller localities such as Adela, Atalaya, Comandante Giribone, and Don Cipriano.

Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Chascomús, you must dial the appropriate format depending on your location.
- Local calls (within the same area code): Dial the subscriber number only, which is 7 digits long. For example, if the subscriber number is 452-1234, simply dial 452-1234.
- National long-distance calls (from other Argentine cities): Dial the national trunk prefix 0, then the area code 2241, followed by the subscriber number. For example, to call the same number from Buenos Aires, dial 0-2241-452-1234.
- International calls (from outside Argentina): Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile phones), then the Argentine country code 54, then the area code 2241 (without the leading 0), and the subscriber number. For example, from the United States, dial 011-54-2241-452-1234 or +54-2241-452-1234.
Note: The national trunk prefix (0) is used only when dialing from within Argentina. When dialing from abroad, the 0 is omitted.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for 2241; the area code is unique for this geographic region. However, as with all Argentine fixed-line numbers, the subscriber number length is 7 digits, and the total national significant number (NSN) length is 10 digits (area code + subscriber number). This is standard for geographic codes in Argentina.
