Notes on Uruguay Dialing

Uruguay uses an 8-digit national numbering plan: a 1- or 2-digit area code followed by a 7-digit subscriber number. Major cities like Montevideo (area code 2) use a single digit, while smaller towns use 2 or 3 digits.

When calling from abroad, dial +598 followed directly by the area code and local number-do not include a leading zero.

Mobile numbers in Uruguay start with 9 and are also 8 digits long (e.g., 9 123 4567). They are dialed internationally as: +598 9 XXX XXXX.
