📍 Geographic Location of La Dulce, Buenos Aires
Overview of Area Code 2264
Area code 2264 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Argentine national numbering plan, assigned under country code +54. It serves the locality of La Dulce, officially known as Nicanor Olivera, located in the interior of Buenos Aires Province. This code is part of the Región Interior (non-metropolitan) numbering areas, distinct from the capital's 11-digit mobile and fixed-line formats.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The 2264 area code covers the town of La Dulce and its immediate rural surroundings, within the partido of Necochea. La Dulce is a small agricultural community, and the code is used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. It does not encompass larger urban centers like Necochea or Quequén, which have their own area codes.
Dialing Formats
For callers within Argentina, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. The local subscriber number typically has 6 to 7 digits, resulting in a complete national significant number (NSN) of 10 digits (including the area code).
- National dialing (from within Argentina):
0 2264 XXX XXX - International dialing (from outside Argentina):
+54 2264 XXX XXX
For example, a local number might be 02264 45-6789 when dialed domestically, or +54 2264 45-6789 from abroad. When dialing locally within the same area code, the area code may be omitted, but for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for 2264; it is the sole NDC for La Dulce. However, as part of Argentina's ongoing numbering plan evolution, all fixed-line numbers are transitioning to a uniform 11-digit format for mobile and 10-digit for fixed lines. No changes are anticipated for this area code in the near term.
Caller Instructions
For local callers: Dial the area code followed by the subscriber number, using the national trunk prefix 0 when calling from another area code. For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US), then Argentina's country code 54, then the area code 2264 (without the leading 0), and the subscriber number.
Always verify the number length, as some older lines may have fewer digits. For VoIP users, ensure that the call is routed as a fixed-line call to avoid additional charges.
