How numbers in Argentina are built

National number length⁨10 or 11⁩ digits
Trunk prefix⁨0⁩
Exit code from Argentina⁨00⁩
Example, written compactly (E.164)⁨+5491123456789⁩

A number in Argentina is the country code ⁨+54⁩ followed by a national number of ⁨10 or 11⁩ digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.

Written locally as ⁨011 15-2345-6789⁩, an example mobile number in Argentina is dialed as ⁨+54 9 11 2345 6789⁩ from abroad.

Leave out the leading ⁨0⁩ when you dial it with the country code. A mobile number also takes a 9 after ⁨+54⁩ and drops the 15 after the area code: ⁨011 15-2345-6789⁩ is dialed as ⁨+54 9 11 2345 6789⁩.

Why a call to Argentina fails to connect

  • Keeping the leading ⁨0⁩: after ⁨+54⁩ it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
  • Leaving out ⁨00⁩ (or +): without it your carrier reads ⁨54⁩ as the start of a number in Spain, not as a country code.
  • A wrong number of digits: a number in Argentina has ⁨10 or 11⁩ digits after ⁨+54⁩.

Best time to call

Argentina is ⁨4 h⁩ behind Spain. When it is 12:00 in Spain, it is ⁨08:00⁩ in Argentina.

That gap moves between ⁨4 h⁩ and ⁨5 h⁩ during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.

Spain changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between ⁨UTC+1⁩ and ⁨UTC+2⁩ during the year.

Spain moves its clocks on ⁨March 29 and October 25⁩.

Argentina does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays ⁨UTC-3⁩ all year.

Where a country spans several time zones, this page uses its main one, so the real gap can differ by a few hours.

The weekend in Argentina is Saturday and Sunday.
