📍 Geographic Location of Médanos, Buenos Aires
Overview of Area Code 2927
Area code 2927 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Argentine numbering plan, assigned to the Médanos region in the southern part of Buenos Aires Province. This code serves the administrative district of Villarino Partido and its surrounding rural areas. Médanos, the principal town, is located approximately 650 km southwest of the city of Buenos Aires. The area is primarily agricultural, with the town acting as a commercial and administrative hub.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 2927 code covers Médanos and nearby localities, including Argerich, Juan Cousté, and Teniente Origone. These communities fall under the jurisdiction of the Villarino municipal government, which is part of the larger Buenos Aires Province. The region is characterized by its flat terrain and proximity to the Atlantic coast, though it is not directly on the shoreline.
Dialing Formats
For local calls within the same area code, subscribers can dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly. For calls from other parts of Argentina, the format is:
- 0 (trunk prefix) + 2927 (area code) + subscriber number.
For international callers, the format is:
- +54 (country code) + 2927 (area code) + subscriber number.
For example, to call a landline in Médanos from abroad, one would dial +54 2927 4567890. Note that the leading '0' is dropped when adding the country code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T and ENACOM (Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones) updates, there is no overlay code for 2927. The area code is used exclusively for fixed-line services, and number lengths are standardized at 7 digits for local numbers. Mobile services in the same geographic region use distinct mobile codes (e.g., 2928 for some nearby areas) and are not part of the 2927 fixed-line numbering.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the 2927 area, simply dial the 7-digit number. For callers from other Argentine provinces, always include the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code. For international callers, ensure you use the correct country code and omit the trunk prefix. Calls to 2927 numbers are typically charged as national long-distance rates when dialed from outside the area, unless the caller subscribes to a flat-rate plan.
