How many digits does a phone number in Uruguay have?

Mobile numbers have 8 national digits. Fixed line numbers have 8 national digits (7 when dialled locally). That is the national number, without the country code +598 and without the trunk prefix 0.

What is the country code for Uruguay?

+598. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 598, then the national number without its trunk prefix 0. From inside Uruguay, the exit code for international calls is 00.

Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Uruguay?

Mobile numbers start with 09 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 094 231 234). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.

Can a mobile number in Uruguay be ported to another carrier?

Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Uruguay, so the carrier a prefix was allocated to is likely, not certainly, the carrier serving the number. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) confirms it.

The numbering plan of Uruguay: formats, lengths, the regular expression for each line type and the prefix blocks allocated to each carrier, as ITU publishes it. A pattern says what a number looks like and where it was allocated; whether it is in service, and who serves it today, is a different question (below).
