Everything a business or traveller needs to know before dialling Uruguay (+598). Can't find an answer? Our team is one click away.

Q1.What is the country code for Uruguay?

Uruguay's international calling code is +598. Dial it immediately after your exit prefix and before the local subscriber number whenever calling from outside Uruguay.

Q2.What is the best time to call Uruguay?

Tuesday–Wednesday, 9:00–11:00 AM UYT (UTC−3) is the window. Uruguay runs on Uruguay Time year-round — fixed at UTC−3 since abolishing DST in 2015. Montevideo business opens at 9 AM. Avoid Carnival (2-day closure in February), Independence Day (August 25), and the Christmas–New Year break (offices thin out from December 20).

Q3.How do I call a mobile number in Uruguay?

Uruguayan mobiles are 9 digits starting with 09x. Drop the leading 0 — dial +598 then 9x plus the remaining 7 digits. A typical Uruguayan mobile: +598 91 234 567.

Q4.What is the cheapest way to call Uruguay?

VoIP is the cheapest route — app-to-app calls over Wi-Fi to Uruguay are often free. For calls to regular +598 numbers, business VoIP from TKOS offers per-minute rates far below traditional carrier landline charges.

Q5.What is the + sign for when dialling Uruguay?

The + replaces your local international exit code. When you call Uruguay using +598, your carrier automatically substitutes the correct exit prefix (00 in Europe, 011 in North America, 0011 in Australia) before the call goes out.
