Print
These days the majority of of our world-wide trip planning can be done on the internet. However, there are times when the best way to handle a problem is to pick up the phone. Calling Argentina is not as tricky as it seems. It just takes patience and a few codes. There is also a difference between calling cell phones and land lines.
Call a Land Line in Argentina
Intn’l Access Code + Country Code + City Code + Local Number = Success
We always start with the International Access Code. (In U.S. Dial 011). Then the Country Code, which in the case of Argentina is 54. Next comes the City Code.
Eg. USA → Buenos Aires: 011 + 54 + 11 + XXXX – XXXX
Here are some Argentina City Codes in alphabetical order:
Azul 281 Bahia Blanca 91 Buenos Aires 11 Chilvilcoy 341 Comodoro Rivadavia 967 Cordoba 51 Corrientes 783 La Plata 21 |
Las Flores 224 Mar Del Plata 23 Mendoza 61 Merio 220 Moreno 228 Posadas 752 Puerto Madryn 2965 Resistencia 722 |
Rio Cuarto 586 Rosario 41 San Juan 64 San Rafael 627 Santa Fe 42 Tandil 293 Villa Maria 531 |
Last but not least is the Local Number; that one’s on you. Before calling, you should consider the time difference. Argentina is 2-3 hours ahead of Eastern Standard time in the U.S.
Call a Cell Phone in Argentina
If you want to call a mobile phone, things change by one number.
Intn’l Access Code + Country Code + 9 + City Code + 8-digits
Cell phone numbers in Argentina are generally like this 15 XXXX-XXXX. When calling from abroad, don’t dial the 15, just the last 8 digits XXXX-XXXX.
Eg. USA → BsAs Cell: 011 + 54 + 9 + 11 + XXXX – XXXX
If somewhere in that equation things don’t work out, you can always dial 00 and a international operator will be at your service and try to help you find the problem.
