Dialing Formats

When dialing a number within Argentina, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. For international calls, the country code +54 replaces the trunk prefix. The local subscriber number in this area typically has 6 digits, making the complete national significant number (NSN) 10 digits (area code + subscriber number).

• Local calls (within General Acha): Dial the 6-digit subscriber number directly. Example: 42-3456.
• National long-distance calls (from other Argentine cities): Dial 0 + 2952 + subscriber number. Example: 0-2952-42-3456.
• International calls (from abroad): Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from many countries, 011 from the US/Canada) + 54 + 2952 + subscriber number. Example: 00-54-2952-42-3456 or 011-54-2952-42-3456.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T and ENACOM (Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones) data, there is no overlay code for 2952. The area code is not subject to overlay dialing changes, meaning callers must always include the area code for long-distance calls, but local calls can be made without it. However, due to the expansion of mobile and VoIP services, some users may encounter numbers that appear to have a different format; always verify the complete number with the recipient.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Argentina, remember to include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing from a different area code. For foreign callers, omit the trunk prefix and use the country code +54 directly. If you are using a mobile phone in Argentina, you may need to include the area code even for local calls, depending on your carrier and roaming status. Always check with your service provider for the most accurate dialing instructions.
