Basic National Numbering Plan (Plan Fundamental de Numeración Nacional - PFNN)
The Comisión Nacional de Comunicaciones, Buenos Aires, announces the introduction of the new Basic National Numbering Plan for Argentina. The Plan is intended to serve as the basis for ensuring the rational use and administration of the numbering system as a limited national resource, for the benefit of users and telecommunication service providers. One of the most important considerations is that the numbering system should be easy to understand and user-friendly. Before 31 January 1999 the national (significant) number will increase from eight to ten digits (country code: 54).
The current numbering system uses fixed-length eight-digit national numbers consisting of a variable-length area code (one to three digits) and a variable length subscriber number (five to seven digits). Although less than 10% of total numbering capacity is now being used in the country as a whole, the corresponding figure for area code 1, Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (A.M.B.A.)), is approximately 50%. The code format for special services is 1XY, except for operator services (19 and 000).
Length - All national numbers will have ten digits.
Structure of the national geographical number
The national geographical number is composed of the area code and the subscriber number and will consist of ten digits, as illustrated in Table 1.

Characteristics:
Restriction on the use of the digit zero (0) as the first digit of the national number. The use of the digit zero (0) as the first digit of the national number is restricted, since it is assigned to the access prefixes.
Structure of the subscriber number
The subscriber number which identifies users within a local service area with the same area code, may consist of six, seven or eight digits (variable length). It is made up of the exchange identification number and the exchange extension number as shown in Table 2.

Characteristics:
- Restriction on the use of the digit zero (0) at the beginning of the exchange characteristic number. The use of the digit zero (0) as the first digit of the exchange characteristic number is restricted, since it is assigned to the access prefixes.
- Restriction on the use of the digit one (1) at the beginning of the exchange characteristic number . The use of the digit one (1) as the first digit of the exchange characteristic number is restricted.
- Exchange extension number. This will always consist of four digits, from 0000 to 9999 (g, h, i, j).
Structure of non-geographical numbers
The generic structure of non-geographical numbers is given in Table 3.

Structure of special service codes
The special services include emergency calls, community services and the customer care services of telecommunication service providers.
The special services (except for operator services) will have the following format: 1XY.
Where:
1
is the special service code
X
is the generic code for the type of special services
Y
is the code for the specific service (0 to 9)
The groups of special services defined by the generic code X (0, 1, 2), are shown in Table 5.

The changes made during the transitional stage should be widely publicized in order to explain the underlying reasons and principles and make the new basic national numbering plan (PFNN) clear to users.
Detailed programme of changes
Changing the length of new national numbers to ten digits
The process will take place in two stages, so that the change-over to ten-digit national numbers is completed by 31 January 1999.
The digit “4” will be placed at the beginning of all the present subscriber numbers in order to form the new subscriber number. By adding one digit, the numbering capacity in each area code area will be multiplied by ten.
Example:
|
Localities |
Present subscriber number |
New subscriber number |
|
A.M.B.A. |
820 5656 |
4 820 5656 |
|
La Plata |
83 6789 |
4 83 6789 |
|
Córdoba |
45 6789 |
4 45 6789 |
|
Tinogasta |
2 6789 |
4 2 6789 |
Extension of area codes:
The new area codes will be formed by placing a new digit “A” at the beginning of the present codes. As a result, the number of available area codes will be increased, and it will be possible to make more local numbers available by reducing the area code to one digit as and when necessary. This will provide the necessary flexibility for future development of the PFNN. Future requirements for new area codes will be met by using either free slots in the A = 2 or 3 series or codes set aside in the plan.
The digits to be placed at the beginning of the area codes are as follows:
In the A.M.B.A. A = 1
Southern inland area A = 2
Northern inland area A = 3
Example:
|
Localities |
Present national number |
New national number |
|
A.M.B.A. |
1 820 5656 |
1 1 48205656 |

3 51 4456789 |
|
Tinogasta |
837 2 6789 |
3 837 426789 |
Once the PFNN is published, cellular service providers who have users with trunk identification codes different from those at their interconnection points may apply for integrated numbering in order to start the gradual change-over. The old non-integrated numbering must have been abandoned by 31 January 1999.
The present non-geographical numbers will be modified by adding two digits formed by repeating the subscriber number digit immediately following the non-geographical service identification code “600” and “800”.
Example:
|
Type of service |
Present number |
New number |
|
600 |
600 23456 |
600 22 23456 |
|
600 |
600 65432 |
600 66 65432 |
|
800 |
800 23456 |
800 22 23456 |
|
800 |
800 65432 |
800 66 65432 |
Other non-geographical services currently in operation will be required to start using their new non-geographical code before 31 July 1999.
Once the relevant notification has been received from the Regulatory Authority, local service providers will have six months within which to make it possible to select the long-distance operator by means of the prefix dialled.
