Dialing a Cell Phone in Argentina
Hi,
Is there some trick to dialing a cell phone in Argentina? I'm trying to call a friend in Salta. She says that to call her cell phone from the US I should dial 011 54 387 xxx xxx xxx. But I get a recorded message, in English, that says, if I recall correctly, something like the call cannot be completed as dialed. I recall once having a similar problem trying to call a cell phone in BsAs but I do not recall how I resolved it. Thanks, Bob |

Thanks, Bob That 011-54- combination is what you use when dialing an Argentine number direct from the United States, but I seem to recall that there's another prefix that must be added for a cell phone. I only dialed a cell phone once that way, and the recipient of the call, a relative who had to pay the charge, berated me so much that I wiped the number out of my memory.... |

Hi Bob:
If you call a cellular phone in Argentina, please add a 9 after the country code. So try 011 54 9 387 xxxxxxx in your case. The "9" is the way to identify the access to a cell. Many countries have similar regulation (with 9 or other number). Nicky San Andrés - Argentina "eBob.com" escribió en el mensaje ... Hi, Is there some trick to dialing a cell phone in Argentina?

Thank you Nicky, but when I tried a "9" as you suggested it did not work. I
got different dialing noises but the end result was still a message, in English, saying something like "your call cannot be completed as dialed." Any other suggestions?
