📍 Geographic Location of Uspallata, Mendoza
Geographic Overview
The Argentine area code 2624 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the western part of Mendoza Province, specifically serving the town of Uspallata and its surrounding rural areas. Uspallata is located in the Andes mountains, near the Chilean border, and is a key transit point on Route 7 leading to the Cristo Redentor tunnel. The code covers a sparsely populated but strategically important region, including small settlements along the Mendoza River valley.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line number in Uspallata from within Argentina, you must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 2624 and the local subscriber number (6 to 7 digits). For example, to reach a local number 456789, dial: 0 2624 456789.
From abroad, you need to dial the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries), then Argentina's country code 54, the area code 2624 (without the leading 0), and the subscriber number. The same example becomes: +54 2624 456789.
Note that the area code is an essential part of the number; even local calls within Uspallata require dialing the full national number (0-2624-XXXXXX) in most cases, as there is no local-only dialing. This is standard for Argentine fixed-line numbering.
Administrative and Jurisdictional Context
Uspallata is a district within the Las Heras Department of Mendoza Province. The area code 2624 is separate from the Mendoza city code (261) and the southern Mendoza codes (e.g., 2600 for San Rafael). This allocation reflects the geographic separation imposed by the Andes and the need for distinct routing for the region's fixed-line services.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Argentina): Always dial the full national number: 0-2624-XXXXXX. Do not omit the trunk prefix or area code.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 54 2624 XXXXXX. Ensure you drop the leading '0' of the area code.
- Mobile calls: When calling a fixed line in Uspallata from a mobile phone, the same national format applies (0-2624-XXXXXX).
This area code is exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services. Mobile numbers in Argentina use non-geographic codes starting with 11, 22, or 33, so they are not affected by this geographic prefix.
