Hi Alejandro,
Argentina was a really confusing one :)
so am i correct in understanding that mobile phone numbers in argentina
use the same area codes as fixed line phones?
how would you translate an SMS numbering plan into the file format i've
created:

i had Argentina as:
54,911,0
however it seems that from your details it should actually be:
54,15,0
also, is it always 8 digits after 15?
cheers

Sorry,
15-11-12345678
Should be
15-12345678
And
0-11-15-12345678 from another city.
Regards,
Alejandro

I can tell you about Argentina, for instance.
- Country code is 54.
- City codes are two digits.
- Buenos Aires (the capital) is 11.
- Phone numbers are 8 digits.
- Inside Argentina, use prefix 15 to access a celluar phone from a fixed line.
- Inside Argentina, prefix 15 is optional from another cellphone.
- To call a cellphone from outside argentina, add 9 after the country code.
So, for example, to call cellphone # (11)12345678
From a fixed line:
15-11-12345678
From a cellphone on the same city:
12345678 or 15-12345678
From another city, prefix 0 and 15 after the area code:
0-11-15-12345678
From OUTSIDE argentina:
+54-9-11-12345678
Last but not least, all of the above only applies to PSTN calls. If
you wish to send SMS, the rules vary somewhat:
To send an sms to any cellphone inside argentina, use full MSISDN, you
can spare the country code. For example, using the same number to send
an SMS:
From inside Argentina:
11-12345678
From outside Argentina:
54-11-12345678
So, the 15 and 9 numbers doesn't apply.
Tricky uh? ;)
Hope it helps,
Alejandro

hi all,
i've gone through the WTNG and Wikipedia and started compiling a parseable
file format of all the country codes, mobile prefixes and number of digits
to expect after the prefix.
some countries i could not determine the information for (i was working
quite quickly so it's possible the information is available but if there
wasn't an easily accessible list on the WTNG i generally just included the
prefix/number of digits as unknown... see notes at the top of the file for
more details).
it would be great if everyone could please look for their country and
email me with updates. there were some really big countries in there that
didn't have very clear numbering plans for mobiles on the WTNG site!!
you can check out the file here:
http://www.workingsoftware.com.au/mobile_numbering.txt
have a read of the notes up the top of the file. they discuss the file
format and the rules i used when compiling the list.
let me know what you think!
cheers
