📍 Geographic Location of General Diaz
Overview of Area Code 787 (General Díaz, Paraguay)
Area code 787 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned within the Paraguayan national numbering plan, conforming to ITU-T E.164 standards. It serves the locality of General Díaz, a district in the Ñeembucú Department, located in the southwestern part of the country near the Paraná River. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, connecting subscribers within the town and its surrounding rural areas. General Díaz is a small administrative center, and its telephone infrastructure is managed under the regulatory oversight of the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL).
Geographic Coverage and Dialing Formats
The 787 area code covers the urban and peri-urban zones of General Díaz, including neighboring agricultural communities. For local callers within the same area code, the number is dialed as a seven-digit subscriber number (e.g., 787 XXX XXX). However, when calling from another area code within Paraguay, the full national format must be used: 0 787 XXX XXX, where the leading '0' is the trunk prefix. For international callers, the Paraguayan country code (+595) replaces the trunk prefix, resulting in the format +595 787 XXX XXX. Note that the area code is an integral part of the national significant number (NSN), which totals nine digits (including the leading '0' for domestic calls).
Caller Instructions and Practical Considerations
When placing a call to General Díaz from abroad, dial the international access code of your country (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by Paraguay's country code 595, then the area code 787 (without the leading '0') and the subscriber number. For example, to reach a landline in General Díaz with the number 1234567, you would dial +595 787 1234567. Local callers within Paraguay should use the national trunk prefix '0' when dialing from a different region: 0 787 1234567. As with all geographic codes in Paraguay, the 787 area code is not portable to mobile numbers; it remains tied to the fixed-line network. Overlay codes have not been introduced in this region, so the 787 code is the sole geographic identifier for General Díaz. For businesses or residents, ensuring the correct dialing format is crucial for seamless connectivity, especially for international communications.
