Chile Country Code

Chile’s phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

Chile’s Country Code is +56

Chile’s country code is +56. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in Chile should dial Chile’s telephone country code (+56) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Chile are nine digits long – aa bbb bbbb, with aa being the area code followed by the local phone number. Always delete the trunk code “0” when calling from overseas. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Chile using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Chile.

Step 2. Dial 56, Chile’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter Chile’s area code. Don’t use the trunk code “0” when calling from outside of the country.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the national phone number you wish to call in Chile.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 56 aa bbb bbbb (or +56 aa bbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 56 aa bbb bbbb

Chile’s area codes are 1-2 digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the trunk “0” when calling overseas. Here are some Chile’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside Chile, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Chile’s country code 56. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in San Antonio, this would be an example of a phone number: +56 35 bbb bbbb or 0056 25 bbb bbbb, and 011 56 35 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Chile’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the two largest local mobile phone companies – Entel and Telefonica.

The mobile phone numbers in Chile do not have a specific starting digit. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then Chile’s country code “56”, plus the phone number.

For example, enter 011 56 bbbb bbbbb or +56 bbbb bbbbb if calling from the United States.
