Addition of A New Digit in Current Landlines Numbers
Chile telecommunications office, SUBTEL, announced that there will be a change in the way calls are made to landlines throughout the country. An extra «2» will be inserted to all landline phone numbers. The change is gradual and will finish taking place by June, 2013. In Santiago (Region Metropolitana) and Arica, this change has already occurred respectively on November 24, 2012 and October 20, 2012. In the other regions of Chile this change will take place between May and June 2013.
Now when calling from landline to landline you will add the extra “2” at the beginning of the number. Therefore you will now dial 2 + XXX XXXX as opposed to just the number. When calling from a cell phone to a landline you will add the extra “2” after the initial “0”. Therefore you would dial 022 + XXX XXXX as opposed to 02 + XXX XXXX.

Her classics registered a little flat!
