Uruguay auf einen Blick
Die Zahlen und Fakten, die Sie vor dem Wählen benötigen.
Wie lautet die Landesvorwahl für Uruguay?
Uruguay liegt hinter +598, und für ein Land, das für seine Ordnung bekannt ist, ist die Nummerierung angemessen ordentlich. Es läuft ein geschlossener 8-stelliger Tarif, bei dem sowohl Festnetz- als auch Mobiltelefonnummern genau 8 Ziffern haben – +598 plus diese 8 Ziffern ist also die vollständige Nummer, die nach Ihrem eigenen Exit-Code oder einfach hinter einem + auf jedem Mobiltelefon gewählt wird.
Code +598 zugewiesen wurde Uruguay von der ITU im Rahmen des E.164-Plans. Der “+” bedeutet „Wählen Sie Ihren lokalen internationalen Exit-Code“; Halten Sie auf einem Mobiltelefon die Taste gedrückt 0 um es zu tippen.
Alle vier bedeuten dasselbe – sie verbinden Ihren Anruf mit Uruguay.
So rufen Sie Uruguay von überall aus an
Das Einzige, was abgeschafft werden muss, ist die inländische Amtsleitung 0, die den Mobilfunkpräfixen vorangeht – Einheimische schreiben eine Zelle als 099, aber international fällt diese 0 weg. Aus dem Ausland ist es +598 und die vollständige 8-stellige nationale Nummer, mehr nicht.
Vollständiges Beispiel: +598 2(2) XXX XXXX — Weglassen der lokalen führenden 0, wenn Sie aus dem Ausland anrufen.
Erklärung des Telefonnummernformats für Uruguay
Seit der Umstellung auf einen 8-stelligen geschlossenen Tarif verrät Ihnen die allererste Ziffer, was Sie anrufen: 2 markiert einen Montevideo-Festnetzanschluss, 4 einen Festnetzanschluss im Landesinneren und 9 einen Mobilfunkanschluss. Zellen werden zu Hause mit einer 0 davor geschrieben (09x) – nützlich zum Erkennen, aber immer weggelassen, wenn der Anruf von außerhalb Uruguays kommt.
Festnetz
8 digits. Montevideo numbers start with 2 (e.g., 2XXX XXXX). Interior landlines start with 4 followed by the old area code (e.g., 4732 XXXX for Salto).
Mobile
8 digits, all begin with 9. Domestic form 09X XXX XXX; international form +598 9X XXX XXX. Number portability applies — the prefix shows the original operator only.

Uruguay mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +598 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Antel (state-owned, ANTEL)
Movistar (Telefónica Móviles del Uruguay)
Claro (AM Wireless Uruguay)
Uruguay time zone
Uruguay holds steady at UYT, UTC−3, all year. The clocks last moved for daylight saving back in 2015, and they've stayed put ever since — so once you know the offset, it never shifts under you.
A Montevideo morning (09:00–12:00) overlaps neatly with the US East Coast getting started, while afternoons reach Europe in its late-day stretch and sit in step with Buenos Aires and São Paulo next door.

Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.
Portability is the easy one to forget
Uruguay has had it for years, so a 09x prefix only names the original operator, never guaranteed today's carrier.
Carrying the mobile's leading 0 abroad
it's domestic-only, so 099 becomes +598 99, not +598 099.
Expecting 7-digit numbers
both landlines and mobiles run to a full 8 digits here.
Bolting an extra area code onto a Montevideo landline
the single leading 2 already is the prefix.
Dropping +598 and dialing only the 8 digits from overseas
the call won't route without the country code.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Uruguay
Swap carrier international rates for VoIP or a virtual +598 number.
Reach 9x mobiles through an app or a Uruguay DID to sidestep the surcharges those numbers attract.
Hold a local +598 line so Uruguayan contacts ring you at domestic rates instead of calling abroad.
Group your calls inside the 09:00–18:00 Montevideo workday to connect on the first attempt.

Uruguay +598 — FAQ
How can I tell a Montevideo landline from a mobile?expand_more
By the leading digit — 2 starts a Montevideo landline, 4 an interior landline, and 9 a mobile.
Why does a mobile lose its 0 when I call from abroad?expand_more
The 0 in 09x is a domestic trunk prefix; from outside Uruguay +598 takes its place, so 099 becomes +598 99.
Are Uruguayan numbers really all 8 digits?expand_more
Yes — the closed plan makes both landlines and mobiles exactly 8 digits, with no shorter or longer regional formats.
Does the 09x prefix tell me which carrier someone uses?expand_more
No. Portability has been in place for years, so 091/092/098/099, 093–095 and 096/097 only mark the original Antel, Movistar or Claro assignment.
Will Uruguay's time ever shift on me?expand_more
No — it's stayed on UYT (UTC−3) with no daylight saving since 2015, so the offset is fixed.
How does an interior city's code fit into the number?expand_more
It's embedded after the 4 — Salto is 473x, Paysandú 472x — rather than dialed as a separate area code.
Is Uruguay in the same time as its neighbors?expand_more
Yes — at UTC−3 it matches Buenos Aires and São Paulo, which makes regional calling straightforward.
Can my business get a Montevideo or interior number remotely?expand_more
Yes — MCM provisions Uruguay virtual numbers in both and routes them to your team anywhere.
