Uruguay de un vistazo
Los números y datos que necesita antes de marcar.
¿Cuál es el código de país de Uruguay?
Uruguay se ubica detrás de +598, y para ser un país famoso por mantener las cosas en orden, la numeración es apropiadamente ordenada. Ejecuta un plan cerrado de 8 dígitos donde tanto los teléfonos fijos como los móviles tienen exactamente 8 dígitos, por lo que +598 más esos 8 dígitos es el número completo, marcado después de su propio código de salida o simplemente detrás de un + en cualquier móvil.
Código +598 fue asignado a Uruguay por la UIT bajo el plan E.164. El “+” significa "marcar su código de salida internacional local"; en un móvil, mantén pulsado 0 para escribirlo.
Los cuatro significan lo mismo: conectan su llamada a Uruguay.
Cómo llamar a Uruguay desde cualquier lugar
Lo único que hay que deshacerse es el troncal nacional 0 que encabeza los prefijos móviles: los locales escriben una celda como 099, pero a nivel internacional ese 0 desaparece. Desde el exterior es +598 y el número nacional completo de 8 dígitos, nada más.
Ejemplo completo: +598 2(2) XXXXXXX — elimine el 0 inicial local cuando llame desde el extranjero.
Formato del número de teléfono de Uruguay explicado
Desde que pasó a un plan cerrado de 8 dígitos, el primer dígito te indica a qué llamas: 2 marca un fijo de Montevideo, 4 un fijo del interior y 9 un móvil. Las celdas se escriben en casa con un 0 al frente (09x): útil para reconocer, pero siempre se cortan cuando la llamada proviene de fuera de Uruguay.
Teléfono fijo
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.
Open the interactive best-time-to-call plannerCommon mistakes when calling Uruguay
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.
