Numbering plan
- Fixed numbering areas in Uruguay
In the URSEC plan dated November 2018, fixed national numbers beginning with 2 are associated with the Montevideo metropolitan area, while those beginning with 4 are associated with the interior. These are broad numbering areas, not a city-by-city code directory.
The plan defines 0 as the national long-distance access prefix; it is dialled for domestic long-distance calls and is not part of the national number.

Supported calculations run from 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z until 2031-01-01T00:00:00Z. Zone names identify IANA representative locations; they do not locate a telephone number. The browser detects your device’s configured zone, which may differ from your physical location. Time rules: IANA tzdb 2026e. Location labels use its retained country tables. Times use the selected IANA entry; they are not a claim about every location in the country. The initial selection uses the source-qualified timezone binding for Montevideo. It does not establish a country-wide time or your location.
