Paraguay phone number format

How do you format a Paraguay phone number?

Write a Paraguay phone number with the country code +595. A mobile looks like 0961 456789 inside Paraguay and +595 961 456789 from abroad, dropping the leading 0. Mobiles have 9 digits after the country code, and the E.164 form is +595961456789. A format check confirms the digits fit the numbering plan, not that the number is in service.

Example Paraguay phone numbers

These are the example numbers from Google’s libphonenumber data, the same numbering-plan data our validator uses, written three ways.

How to write a Paraguay number in E.164

1. Remove spaces, dashes, dots and brackets so only digits are left.
2. If the number starts with the trunk prefix 0, remove it. It is only used when dialling inside Paraguay.
3. Put +595 in front. The result has 9 digits after the country code for a mobile.

So 0961 456789 becomes +595961456789. E.164 is the format SMS gateways, dialers and most CRMs store; see the E.164 format explained for why.

Mobile or landline?

Paraguay allocates separate number ranges to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type straight from the digits, for free. That type describes the range the number came from. It doesn’t prove the number is connected today.

Mobile, landline and special number ranges in Paraguay

A Paraguay mobile number starts with 951, 961, 962, 969, 971–976, 981–987, 991–995 after +595. Every valid number of each type below starts with one of the digit groups shown. A number that starts the right way can still be unassigned: the groups say what a range is for, not that a number is connected.

Can you tell if a Paraguay number is a mobile?

Usually, yes. Paraguay numbers come from ranges allocated separately to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type from the digits. It tells you what the range is for, not whether the number is in service.

Does a valid format mean a Paraguay number is in service?

No. A valid format means the digits fit a range Paraguay's numbering plan allocates. It cannot tell whether the number is connected today or who carries it, because numbers are reassigned and ported. A live carrier lookup reports the current carrier and line type, but even that does not prove someone answers.
