Area Code 3409 – Moisés Ville, Santa Fe

Overview of Area Code 3409

Area code 3409 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Moisés Ville and surrounding localities in the northern part of Santa Fe Province, Argentina. This region falls under the national numbering plan administered by ENACOM (Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones), following ITU-T E.164 recommendations. The code serves a mix of urban and rural communities, with Moisés Ville being the principal town, historically notable for its agricultural production and Jewish settlement heritage.

Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction

The 3409 area code covers the San Cristóbal Department and parts of adjacent departments, including small towns such as Villa Trinidad, Suardi, and San Guillermo. Administratively, these localities are under the jurisdiction of the Province of Santa Fe, and the region is characterized by its distance from major metropolitan centers, with the nearest large city being Rafaela (area code 3492) to the south and Reconquista (area code 3482) to the north.

Dialing Formats and Procedures

For local calls within the same area code (excluding the area code), subscribers dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly. For example, to call a landline in Moisés Ville from another local number, dial the seven-digit number without any prefix.

For national long-distance calls from other Argentine area codes, the format is:

• 0 (trunk prefix) + 3409 (area code) + subscriber number (7 digits).

Example: To call a Moisés Ville number (e.g., 456-7890) from Buenos Aires, dial 0 3409 456-7890.

For international calls originating from outside Argentina, the format is:

• +54 (country code) + 3409 (area code) + subscriber number (7 digits), omitting the trunk prefix '0'.

Example: From the United States, dial +54 3409 456-7890.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code in the 3409 area; the code is exclusively assigned to this geographic region. Subscriber numbers are 7 digits long, and the total length of an international E.164 number for this region is 12 digits (including the country code). As with all Argentine geographic codes, the area code is required for calls from mobile networks, even when dialing from within the same region, unless the caller is using a landline and the call remains local.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within the 3409 area: If you are calling from a landline to another landline in the same area, simply dial the 7-digit number. If you are calling from a mobile phone, you must include the area code (e.g., 3409 456-7890) even for local calls, as mobile numbers are not location-aware.

For foreign callers: Always use the international format +54 3409 XXX XXXX. Do not include the leading '0' used domestically. Ensure you have the correct country code and area code to avoid misrouting.
