The Telephone System
To call Argentina from the United States, you
must first dial the international operator (011),
followed by the country code for Argentina (54)
then the city code of the city you are calling and
the local number. For the most part, we have
listed local phone numbers. Hence if you are
calling Argentina from the United States, you
must follow the directions above. If you are
making a call from one city to another within
Argentina, you must first dial 0 and then the
city code of the city you are calling. Addi-
tionally, a new number has been added in front
of the city code depending on the region of the
country. Cities north of Buenos Aires now carry
a 3 in front of the city code. So you must dial 03
followed by the city code and phone number.
When calling Buenos Aires and environs you
must now dial (011), and when calling cities
and locales south of Buenos Aires you must now
dial (02) before the city code and number.
