📍 Geographic Location of Realicó, La Pampa
Overview of Area Code 2331
Area code 2331 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Realicó and its surrounding rural districts in the northeastern part of La Pampa Province, Argentina. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones (ENACOM), following ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Realicó serves as a key agricultural and transport hub, connecting the Pampas region to other provinces via National Route 188.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 2331 area code covers Realicó city and the adjacent localities within the Realicó Department, including Ingeniero Luiggi, Falucho, and Adolfo Van Praet. These areas fall under the administrative jurisdiction of La Pampa Province, with Realicó located approximately 150 km north of the provincial capital, Santa Rosa. The code is exclusively used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services, and it does not cover mobile numbers, which use non-geographic 11-digit numbers starting with 9 or 15.
Dialing Formats
For local calls within the same area code, subscribers dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly (e.g., 450000). For calls from other Argentine provinces or from mobile networks, the national trunk prefix 0 must be dialed before the area code: 0-2331-450000. International callers must use the Argentine country code +54, followed by the area code without the leading 0: +54-2331-450000. When dialing from abroad, it is essential to omit the trunk prefix '0' to avoid routing errors.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ENACOM updates, there is no overlay code for 2331; the area code remains unique for its geographic region. However, number portability is available for fixed lines, allowing users to retain their numbers when switching service providers. The subscriber number length is consistently 7 digits, and the total national significant number (NSN) for fixed lines in Argentina is 10 digits (including the area code).
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Realicó, simply dial the 7-digit number. For long-distance callers within Argentina, dial 0 followed by 2331 and the subscriber number. For international callers, dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), then 54, then 2331, and finally the 7-digit subscriber number. Remember that Argentine fixed-line numbers do not require the '15' prefix used for mobile numbers.
