Hello,
I would appreciate it if someone please confirm my understanding of internal Argentine dial plan rules:
1. Internal numbers are often represented with the leading trunk code (0), even though this is unnecessary for fixed-line calls originating from within local rate centres, e.g.
(11) 1234-5678 is sometimes given as something 011 1234-5678.
2. Base subscriber numbers can be 6, 7, or 8 digits long, depending on rate center. In Buenos Aires, 8-digit subscriber numbers are used, while in smaller markets, 6 or 7 digit numbers are.
3. Mobile numbers are allocated from the same geographic number pools as fixed-line numbers (i.e. are not assigned distinct geographic or nongeographic area codes, as in some countries).
4. For mobile numbers called from fixed-line endpoints, 15 is prepended to the subscriber (_after_ area codes), e.g. a Buenos Aires mobile number (11) 1234-5678 is dialed from fixed-line endpoints as 11-15-1234-5678, but the 15 prefix is not required when calling from other mobile endpoints, nor when the number is rendered in internationally-friendly (e.g. E.164, a la +54 11 1234-5678) terms.
5. The 15 prefix is also not required when dialing from any mobile endpoint inside Argentina, even outside the rate centre (e.g. Salta to Buenos Aires).
6. The 15 prefix generally should not be given as part of the number when listing it in advertisements, etc.
(Which raises the question: since mobile numbers are allocated from the same number pools within the same area codes, how does one intrinsically know that a number is mobile simply from looking at it, and therefore that 15 is required? Or am I missing something?)
7. The trunk code (0) is not required when calling other mobile subscribers within the same mobile operator's network, or on other networks. (Or is it?)
