Questions about +595
Which country is +595?
+595, or country code 595, belongs to Paraguay alone. No other country shares it.
What is +595?
+595 is the part you dial before a Paraguayan number when you call from another country. It replaces the trunk 0 of the number, so a number written 021 234 5678 at home becomes +595 21 234 5678 from abroad.
What is the difference between +595 and 00595?
The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in Paraguay, Europe, and most of South America, so 00595 and +595 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 595 instead.
Do I drop the 0 after +595?
Yes. The 0 is Paraguay's trunk prefix and works only inside the country. Dial +595 21 234 5678, not +595 021 234 5678.
Can I text a +595 number?
Yes. Write the number as +595 without its first 0, for example +595 21 234 5678, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.
How much does it cost to call Paraguay?
The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.
Can I tell who a +595 number belongs to from its prefix?
No. Since portability started on 30 November 2012, a Paraguayan number can move between operators and keep its prefix.
Is 911 Paraguay's emergency number?
Yes. CONATEL made 911 a special telephone number in Resolución RD 1151/2003, alongside 128.
