Area Code 3585 – Adelia María, Córdoba

Overview of Area Code 3585

Area code 3585 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Argentine national numbering plan, assigned to the Adelia María and surrounding localities in the southern part of Córdoba Province. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services and is administered under the country code +54 for Argentina. The region is part of the broader Río Cuarto department, a key agricultural and livestock area.

Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction

The 3585 area code covers Adelia María and nearby towns such as Monte de los Gauchos, Ucacha, and Chazón. These localities are served by fixed-line operators, primarily Telecom Argentina (through its fiber and copper networks) and Telefónica de Argentina (Movistar fixed). Administratively, the area falls under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Adelia María, within the Córdoba Province. The region is characterized by its distance from the provincial capital, Córdoba City, which is approximately 300 km to the north.

Dialing Formats

For local calls within the same area code, subscribers typically dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly. However, due to the implementation of the Plan de Numeración Nacional (National Numbering Plan), all calls within Argentina require the full 10-digit format when dialing from a different area code. The international format for calling Adelia María from abroad is:

• International dialing: +54 3585 XXX XXX
• National long-distance dialing: 0 3585 XXX XXX (the leading 0 is the trunk prefix)
• Local dialing (within 3585): XXX XXX (7 digits)

For example, to call a fixed line in Adelia María with subscriber number 456 7890 from the United States, you would dial: 011 54 3585 456 7890. From a mobile phone in Buenos Aires, you would dial: 0 3585 456 7890 (including the trunk prefix 0).

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 updates, there is no overlay code for 3585; it remains a standalone geographic area code. However, number portability is available for fixed lines, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators within the same geographic area. The number length for local subscribers is always 7 digits after the area code, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 10 digits (including the area code, excluding the trunk prefix 0).

Caller Instructions

For callers within Argentina: if you are calling from a different area code, you must include the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number. For callers from abroad, always use the international access prefix of your country (e.g., 011 in the US, 00 in many European countries) followed by 54 (Argentina's country code), then the area code 3585 without the leading 0, and the 7-digit subscriber number. Ensure you omit the initial 0 of the area code when dialing internationally.
