Area Code 2926 – Coronel Suárez, Buenos Aires

Overview of Area Code 2926

Area code 2926 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the southwestern region of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It serves the city of Coronel Suárez and its surrounding rural districts, including the towns of Huanguelén, Santa Trinidad, and Villa Arcadia. This region is part of the Pampas agricultural heartland, and the numbering area follows Argentina's national dialing plan under ITU-T E.164, with the country calling code +54.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 2926 area code covers the Coronel Suárez Partido, a municipal administrative division within Buenos Aires Province. The region is known for its agricultural production, dairy farming, and German immigrant heritage. The principal city, Coronel Suárez, serves as the commercial and administrative hub, while smaller localities within the same NDC share the same local numbering pool.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For local calls within the 2926 area code, subscribers dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly (e.g., 456-7890). For calls from other Argentine provinces or mobile networks, callers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, then the area code 2926, followed by the subscriber number: 0-2926-456-7890. International callers should dial the Argentine country code +54, then the area code (without the leading 0), and the subscriber number: +54 2926 456-7890. Note that when dialing from abroad, the trunk prefix '0' is omitted.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, area code 2926 does not have an overlay code; it is the sole NDC for this geographic region. However, as part of Argentina's national numbering plan, all geographic numbers have a uniform length of 10 digits (including the NDC) when dialed nationally. The subscriber number within 2926 is 7 digits long, and the total national significant number (NSN) is 10 digits. No special tariffs apply beyond standard national fixed-line rates, but calls from mobile phones may incur higher charges depending on the caller's plan.

Services and Usage

The 2926 area code supports traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services, as well as VoIP and mobile services that are assigned geographic numbers. Businesses and residents in the region use these numbers for fixed-line telephony, internet access (DSL/fiber), and alarm systems. Because it is a geographic code, number portability allows users to retain their 2926 number when switching providers, as long as they remain within the same geographic area.

For callers outside Argentina, it is essential to use the correct international format to avoid misdialing. Always replace the leading '0' of the area code with the country code +54. For example, a call from the United States to Coronel Suárez would be dialed as: 011 54 2926 456-7890 (or +54 2926 456-7890 from a mobile phone).
