    Technical info on Chilean phone numbers


    • Country code:
    • The country code for Chile is +56. This code must be dialed when calling from outside the country. For example, when calling from the United States, you would dial 011 (the exit code) followed by 56 (the country code for Chile).
    • Area codes:
    • Chilean area codes, also known as "city codes," are typically 1-2 digits long and represent a specific geographic region within the country. These codes must be used when dialing from another region within Chile or when calling from abroad. Some examples of area codes include:

    The history behind Chilean phone numbers


    • Early beginnings (late 19th and early 20th centuries):
    • Telephone services in Chile began during the late 19th century. At this time, the phone numbers were simple and short, usually consisting of just a few digits.
    • Introduction of area codes and earthquake (1960s):
    • In 1960 "Entel" (The major telecom company in Chile) was started by the Chilean government after the largest earthquake ever recorded.
    • As the country's telephone infrastructure expanded, it became necessary to introduce area codes to differentiate between regions. In the 1960s, Chile adopted a system of area codes, which were assigned to various regions and cities. The phone numbers now had a format like this: (Area Code) + Local Number.
    • Expansion of local numbers (1980s-1990s):
    • As the number of telephone subscribers increased, local phone numbers also had to be expanded to accommodate the growing demand. In the 1980s and 1990s, local numbers in Chile typically had six digits, while area codes remained two or three digits long.
    • Introduction of mobile phones (late 1990s-2000s):
    • With the arrival of mobile phones, Chile needed to allocate separate numbering ranges for mobile services. Mobile numbers were given a distinct format, typically starting with the digit 9, followed by an eight-digit local number.
    • Numbering plan reform (2014):
    • In 2014, Chile implemented a major reform to its phone numbering plan, known as the "National Numbering Plan." This reform aimed to simplify the numbering system and create a unified structure. As a result, the country adopted a single, nationwide format for all phone numbers, both fixed-line and mobile.
    • The new format included a country code (+56), a nine-digit local number, and eliminated the need for area codes. The fixed-line numbers were adjusted by adding a "2" before the existing numbers, while mobile numbers retained the "9" prefix.

    NYC phone numbers -Inside scoop

I’ve been outside the city for a while now so […]

    How our aesthetically pleasing PBX grid makes configuring your call flow effortless (and fun)
