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.
