How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Chile

Chile uses a 9-digit closed numbering plan under country code +56. From abroad, dial your exit code → 56 → the 9-digit national number. For landlines, the first one–two digits reflect the (former) locality prefix—e.g., +56 22 X-XXX-XXX (Santiago), +56 32 X-XXX-XXX (Valparaíso). Inside Chile, you simply dial the same 9 digits (no trunk “0”). For international calls placed from Chile, you must choose a long-distance carrier each time: 1xx0 + country code + number.

Mobiles vs landlines: Chile no longer uses separate “area codes” for national dialing, but fixed numbers still begin with locality prefixes in international format. Mobile numbers are written as +56 9 XXXXXXXX (nine digits nationally, starting with 9). Since Chile implemented full number portability across fixed, mobile and VoIP, prefixes indicate the original allocation only—don’t rely on digits to identify the current technology or carrier; just dial the number exactly as given.

What are the city and area codes in Chile

Dialing tip: If you see local formats like (2) 2… or (32) …, just convert to +56 plus the digits with spaces: e.g., +56 22 X-XXX-XXX (Santiago), +56 32 X-XXX-XXX (Valparaíso). There’s no trunk “0.”
