How to call Chile: step by step

The full sequence is: exit code + 56 + local number.

  1. 1

    Dial your exit code

    From the United States and Canada that is 011. From most of Europe, Asia, and Africa it is 00. On any mobile you can simply press and hold 0 to get a + instead, which works from anywhere.
  2. 2

    Dial 56

    56 is the country calling code for Chile. It never changes and it is the same from every country in the world.
  3. 3

    Dial the number exactly as written

    Chile has no national trunk prefix, so the number you would dial locally is the same number you dial after +56. Nothing to strip.
  4. 4

    Check the time first

    Chile is on CLT (UTC−4/−3). Business calls placed outside local working hours are the most common reason an international call goes unanswered.

Worth knowing

Chile shifts its clocks on a schedule of its own. Verify the current offset before booking a call window.
