What is the country code for Bolivia?

Bolivia's country code is +591, dialed straight after your exit code to reach any landline or mobile across the country. What makes Bolivia unusually tidy is the length: every national number is just 8 digits. Landlines open with a single department digit that doubles as a geography lesson; mobiles open with 6 or 7.

Code +591 werd toegewezen Bolivia door de ITU onder het E.164-plan. De “+” betekent “bel uw lokale internationale exitcode”; op een mobiel: houd ingedrukt 0 om het te typen.

T

Tigo (Millicom)

strong in Santa Cruz and the urban lowlands (numbers in the 6/7 ranges)

smallest of the three, competes on low-cost prepaid (numbers in the 6/7 ranges)

Because Bolivia never moves its clocks, your overlap stays the same all year — handy for scheduling. East Coast callers share nearly the whole working day (Bolivia sits at most an hour ahead). For Europe, ring during the Bolivian morning, which lands in your afternoon.

Common mistakes when calling Bolivia

Bijna elke mislukte internationale oproep is een formatteringsprobleem, geen netwerkprobleem.

Bolting an area code onto a mobile: Bolivian mobiles carry none

they simply begin with 6 or 7, then seven more digits.

Keeping the long-distance 0: it's a domestic trunk digit only, so drop it after +591

Keeping the long-distance 0: it's a domestic trunk digit only, so drop it after +591.

Mixing up the two capitals: Sucre is the constitutional capital, but La Paz is the seat of government and Santa Cruz de la Sierra is the largest city

don't assume one address covers all three.

Reading the leading digit as a carrier: portability has been live since 2018, so a 7XX number may now sit on Entel, Tigo or Viva regardless of where it started

Expecting a longer number: Bolivian national numbers stop at 8 digits

if you've dialed more, recount.

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Bolivia

Carry Bolivian calls over VoIP or a virtual +591 number rather than paying carrier international tariffs.

Reach for landlines in zones 2, 3 or 4 when you can

fixed-line termination usually beats mobile.

Lean on the fixed UTC−4 offset: with no daylight saving to track, you can lock in call times that never drift.

Stay on standard geographic and mobile ranges and sidestep premium value-added numbers.

Why businesses get a Bolivia virtual number

With three commercial hubs spread across highland, lowland and valley zones, the right department code signals you belong to the customer's region — and a +591 ID earns the pickup a foreign number won't.

Higher answer rates — a local +591 ID gets answered where an overseas number gets ignored.
