Area Code 453 – Capiibary

Geographic Overview

Area code 453 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the San Pedro Department in Paraguay, specifically serving the district of Capiibary and its surrounding rural communities. Capiibary is located in the eastern part of San Pedro, approximately 300 km from Asunción, and functions as a local administrative and agricultural hub. This code is part of Paraguay's national numbering plan, which follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Capiibary from within Paraguay, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 453, and then the subscriber number, which typically consists of 5 digits. The complete national format is: 0 453 XXX XX.

For international callers, the format changes: you must dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile networks), followed by Paraguay's country code +595, then the area code 453 (without the leading trunk prefix 0), and finally the subscriber number. The international format is: +595 453 XXX XX.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within Capiibary can often dial the 5-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, to ensure connectivity, it is recommended to always use the full national format, especially when calling from mobile networks.

Domestic callers from other regions of Paraguay must dial 0 453 XXX XX. International callers should use +595 453 XXX XX. Always verify the subscriber number length, as some numbers may have been migrated to 6 digits due to number expansion plans.

Technical Considerations

This is a geographic number, meaning it is tied to a physical location and is primarily used for fixed-line PSTN services. The code is administered by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL), Paraguay's telecommunications regulator. As with all geographic codes, number portability may be available, but the geographic significance remains for routing and emergency services.

For businesses, having a local presence in Capiibary is facilitated by this code, which can be reached at local rates from within the region. VoIP providers may offer virtual numbers with this area code, but callers should be aware that the physical location of the line may not match the area code if the service is IP-based.
