Local Dialing
Local landline phone numbers in Argentina can have 6, 7 or 8 digits, depending on where they are located:
- The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area uses 8 digits
- Second-tier cities use 7 digits
- Remaining towns and cities use 6 digits
Local numbers usually begin with a 4, although in recent times numbers having 2, 3, 5, 6, or even 7 as the first digit are not uncommon.
Thus, for example to call a local number within Buenos Aires, one should dial 1234-5678; within Mar del Plata, 123-4567 and within Villa Carlos Paz, 12-3456. For mobile phone dialing, see the corresponding section below.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or dialing:

His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”

“Although I will inherit darkness
I will keep dialing left to right.
I will struggle like a surgeon.

I will even dial milk.”
