Notes on Bolivia Dialing
Bolivia uses an 8-digit national numbering plan. Major cities like La Paz (2), Santa Cruz (3), and Cochabamba (4) have single-digit area codes, while smaller cities use 2-4 digits. When calling from abroad, dial +591 followed directly by the area code and local number-do not include a leading zero.
Mobile numbers in Bolivia typically begin with 6 or 7 and are also 8 digits long. They are dialed the same way internationally: +591 + 7XXXXXXXX.
