How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Paraguay

Paraguay’s country calling code is +595. The national numbering plan uses a domestic access pattern of 0 + NDC + subscriber number for national dialing (the 0 is the trunk prefix, and the NDC is the area/mobile code). So, for an Asunción fixed line you’ll commonly dial it in Paraguay as 0 21 XXX XXXX, while a mobile is typically dialed as 0 9X XXX XXX (where the 9 indicates mobile service).

When calling Paraguay from abroad, dial your international exit code (or +), then 595, then the number without the trunk 0. That means 0 21… → +595 21… for landlines and 0 9… → +595 9… for mobiles. Paraguay’s plan is designed around a 9-digit national significant number (NDC + subscriber digits), so if you’re unsure about spacing, the safest approach is to save contacts in E.164 format as +595 followed by the full national number (no leading 0).

What are the emergency numbers in Paraguay

Common emergency numbers in Paraguay include Police: 911, Ambulance: 141, and Fire/Rescue: 132 (and 131 is also used for rescue/fire services in many references).

What are the city and area codes in Paraguay

Dialing tip: Inside Paraguay, you’ll usually dial 0 + area code + number (e.g., 0 21…). From abroad, drop the 0 and dial +595 instead. Total national length is typically 9 digits (so some areas have a 3-digit code like 521 with a shorter subscriber part).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Paraguay

Dialing tip: Paraguay has mobile number portability (in effect since 30 Nov 2012), so the starting digits may not always reflect the subscriber’s current operator. For the most reliable dialing and messaging, store mobiles as +595 9X XXX XXX.
