Number Format

Area Code:            1-2 digits (was 1-4, see note)
Subscriber Number:    7-8 digits (was 6-7, previously 6-8, 3-7, see note)
Trunk Prefix:         0
International Prefix: 00
Note: Area Code plus Subscriber Number (exclusive of trunk prefix) will total 9 or 10 digits in 2013 (previously 8 or 9 digits prior to a 2012-13 subscriber numbering expansion).

Santiago has 8-digit subscriber numbers: +56 2 xxxxxxxx (formerly 7-digit until November 2012)

2-digit area codes outside Santiago are generally followed by geographic subscriber numbers of 7 or 8 digits.

Wireless/mobile subscriber numbers (+56 8, +56 9) are always 7 digits.

Area code information

October 2012 to June 2013 - national subscriber number expansion

Subscriber numbers of fixed/wireline services throughout Chile are expanded by prepending digit '2' within each area code. For example, Santiago was expanded from +56 2 xxxxxxx to +56 2 2xxxxxxx on 24 November 2012. Local calls within Santiago are now dialled as 8 digits i.e. the numbering plan was apparently not being closed. There was no indication whether a permissive period for these changes was implemented.

Subscriber numbers in Concepción (+56 41) and Valparaiso (+56 32) were already expanded to 8-digit format in 2006 (see below), and are thus not affected by this series of changes.

19 August 2006 - mobile numbers consolidated into 9-digit format

Mobile subscriber numbers in Chile were expanded from 8 to 9 digits on 19 August 2006 (to format +56 9 xxxxxxxx).

Previously, mobile numbers were of form +56 8 xxxxxxx or +56 9 xxxxxxx. Summary of conversion:

Old numbers    New numbers
-----------    -----------
+56 8 xxxxxxx  +56 9 8xxxxxxx
+56 9 xxxxxxx  +56 9 9xxxxxxx

5 August 2006 - subscriber numbers expand in Concepción, Valparaiso

'2' was prepended to subscriber numbers in +56 32 (Valparaiso) and +56 41 (Concepción) on 5 August 2006 to expand these from 7-digit subscriber numbers, excluding the area codes.

Old numbers    New numbers     Region
-----------    -----------     ------
+56 32 xxxxxx  +56 32 2xxxxxx  Valparaiso
+56 41 xxxxxx  +56 41 2xxxxxx  Concepción
A special-case rural subscriber number range of 19xxxxx in each of these areas was alread in 7-digit format, therefore these numbers remained unchanged for this event (e.g. +56 32 19xxxxx, +56 41 19xxxxx).

Sources: Entel, Subtel announcement (27 April 2006, via ITU).

July 2006 - new number ranges

Note that for cases of mobile numbers, these new ranges were subsequently expanded to 9-digit format with the August 2006 mobile number expansion.

Other information

Numbering information link (via ITU).

SUBTEL numbering information pages (in Spanish)

Some time prior to 2004, mobile area codes in Chile began with the digit '9', with the following digit indicating the wireless carrier, followed in turn by a 6-digit subscriber number (+56 9 cxxxxxx). This since was expanded by the +56 8 numbering range, and the general expansion to 9-digit national format +56 9 xxxxxxxx in August 2006.

Special services numbers: it was not clear from earlier Subtel information whether trunk prefix is used with special services; however, there are varying numbers of digits depending on the service, unlike for the fixed and mobile numbering.

Regulator is SUBTEL (Subsecretaria de Telecomunicaciones).
