What DialAnyone Offers for Uruguay
How much does it cost to call Uruguay?
DialAnyone bills calls to Uruguay by the second from your credit balance, with no monthly minimum and no contract. Rates vary by whether you are calling a landline or a mobile.
| Destination | Rate | In credits |
|---|---|---|
| Uruguay landline | $0.06–$0.09/min | 13–18 credits/min |
| Uruguay mobile | $0.17–$0.27/min | 35–54 credits/min |
Calling a Uruguay mobile costs noticeably more than a landline, so where you have both numbers for a contact, the landline is the cheaper option.
Uruguay has 15 distinct dialling prefixes in our rate table, so the exact per-minute price depends on the specific number you dial.
How are Uruguay phone numbers structured?
Uruguayan mobile numbers follow the 09X pattern domestically and connect via the country's three main carriers — Antel, Movistar, and Claro. Strip the leading zero when dialling from abroad and go straight to the nine-digit local number after +598. Landlines carry area codes: Montevideo is 2, and other departments use longer codes like 473 for Salto or 452 for Paysandú. For a foreign caller, the practical difference is more cultural than technical. Uruguayans are unusually attached to landlines by regional standards, and older professionals and households in Montevideo's rambla suburbs often keep fixed lines active. Businesses outside the capital can be harder to reach on mobile — the office landline is still the professional address in many smaller cities. A call to a 2-prefix Montevideo number during the day has a reasonable chance of connecting to a real person.
When is the best time to call Uruguay?
Landlines tend to cost less per minute than mobiles when calling Uruguay internationally, and the country's relatively high landline retention means the fixed number is often genuinely useful. If a contact works in a Montevideo office, ask for the 2-prefix line for long catch-up calls. Uruguay runs on UTC-3 year-round with no daylight saving, which simplifies planning — there are no clock-change surprises. From Europe, late-afternoon calls land in Uruguayan midmorning; from the US East Coast, midday is evening there. August and the Semana de Turismo in Holy Week are extended holiday periods when many Uruguayans travel, and calls may go unanswered even on mobile. A quick WhatsApp message to confirm a call window is widely accepted and saves you billing minutes to voicemail.
Can a Uruguay Number Receive SMS?
No. DialAnyone does not offer Uruguay numbers at all, so there is no Uruguay number here that could receive SMS. Any site promising you a working Uruguay number for verification codes is not being straight with you.
A US or UK number receives SMS verification codes from most services and works from anywhere in the world — you do not need to be in that country. The live availability list shows every country with SMS-capable numbers today.
