Calling Argentina explained:
011 - international prefix; dial first when calling abroad from the US or Canada
54 - Country Code for Argentina
Phone Number (remove initial 0) - 10 digits for both landlines and cell phones, area code included
example call from the United States or from Canada to a landline in Buenos Aires:
011 54 11 ???? ????
Cell phone numbers:
add digit 9 (nine) between the country code (54) and the area code of the city you are calling; you will have 011 + 54 + 9 + ten digits.
if the cell number begins with 15 you must drop these two digits and add the area code instead
example #1: you want to dial a cell phone in Bahia Blanca; this is what you will dial from the US:
011 54 9 291 ??? ????
example #2: someone from Buenos Aires gives you a cell number of the format 15 ???? ????; you will replace 15 with the area code of Buenos Aires (11) and dial the following:
011 54 9 11 ???? ????
