Several routes connect you to Chile (+56) landlines, calling cards and modern VoIP services. Pick the one that fits your call volume and budget.
Dial your exit code (011 (North America) or 00 (most other countries)), enter +56, then the local Chile number — dropping any leading 0. Chile's 2-digit country code puts it in ITU Zone 5 of the global E.164 numbering plan.
Chile uses a 2-digit country code (Zone 5). Check that the card lists +56 rates explicitly — mobile numbers in Chile often carry a different per-minute charge than landlines. Factor in the America/Santiago time zone when planning the call.

TKOS provisions +56 DIDs and termination through direct carrier interconnects.
Whether you're reaching Chile for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.
