Telephone numbers in Peru

Telephone numbers in Peru

Most area codes in Peru changed on 1 March 2003, providing an area code for each region (national subdivision).

[http://www.consumer.att.com/global/english/consumer_information/cc_peru_codes.html Peruvian area codes] are 2 digits long except for Lima (area code 01).

Also on that date, '9' was prefixed to existing mobile numbers. Mobile subscriber numbers are now 8 digits in Lima* (+51 01 9xxx xxxx) and 7 digits elsewhere (+51 xx 9xx xxxx).

The new mobile numbers system

The mobile numbers changed from April 5, 2008 because of the rapid increase of the mobile net in Peru. In the new number system all the cell numbers will have 9 digits (in the old system were used 8 digits for Lima, and 7 digits for the rest of regions). The change will be:

In Lima: You have to prefix 9 to your old 8 digit mobile number.(01) yxxxxxxx becomes (01) 9yxxxxxxx

In Arequipa, La Libertad, Lambayeque and Piura regions: You have to prefix the next codes to your old 7 digit mobile number:

*In Arequipa prefix 95 [(054) xxxxxxx becomes (054) 95xxxxxxx]

*In La Libertad prefix 94 [(044) xxxxxxx becomes (044) 94xxxxxxx]

*In Lambayeque prefix 97 [(074) xxxxxxx becomes (074) 97xxxxxxx] and

*In Piura prefix 96 [(073) xxxxxxx becomes (073) 96xxxxxxx]

In the rest of the regions you have to change the 9 of your old 7 digit mobile number into a 3 digit code (9 + regional code):

*In Amazonas the (041) 9xxxxxx changes for (041) 941xxxxxx
