Numbering and Overlays

Chile uses a closed numbering plan with 8-digit subscriber numbers for geographic codes. The 34 code is not overlaid with other codes; it serves a specific geographic area. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, but the geographic significance remains for routing purposes.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

The code is administered by the Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones (SUBTEL). It is used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. Calls to this code are typically charged as national long-distance when dialed from other regions, but local rates apply within the same area. Emergency services are reached via 131 (SAMU) or 133 (Carabineros) and are not affected by area codes.
