Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
Starts with 09, 9 digits (8 without the 0) Mobile carrier The numbering plan ANTEL notified to the ITU in 2010: from 29 August 2010 all national numbers are 8 digits, and a mobile number is “9B” plus 6 digits, dialled domestically as 0 + 9B + 6 digits. At the time B=4 was Abiatar (Movicom), B=6 AM Wireless (Claro) and B=9 Ancel (ANTEL), with the rest reserved; in 2014 ANTEL got additional blocks such as 92 0000–92 2999. Later allocations weren't notified to the ITU, and numbers are portable, so a range only tells you who it was first given to.

Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.

Porting rules in full

Numbers are portable: Article 471 of Law 19.889 (2020, the “Urgent Consideration Law”) made keeping your number a right for mobile users, and a 2021 decree set the rules and timetable; it reportedly went live in January 2022. We haven't confirmed the porting deadline from the text, so none is given.

  • Antel Mobile carrier

    In the 2010 plan the 99 range was registered to Ancel (ANTEL's mobile arm); blocks in 92 were added in 2014.

  • Tigo Mobile carrier

    Its ranges weren't confirmed from a current official allocation table, so none are listed.

  • Claro Mobile carrier

    In the 2010 plan the 96 range was registered to AM Wireless Uruguay.
