Paraguay numbering plan & how to dial
Under country code +595, Paraguay numbers follow an open plan built from a 3-digit area or mobile prefix and a 7-digit subscriber line — 10 digits in all. A domestic "0" typically precedes the prefix, but that digit is dropped when dialing Paraguay internationally.
3 major networks cover Paraguay (Tigo Paraguay, Claro Paraguay, Personal Paraguay), against 52% internet penetration. VoIP is permitted and regulated by CONATEL (Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones del Paraguay). Because Spanish, Guaraní is the primary language and PYG the local currency, both should inform IVR scripts, SMS content, and support hours.
Numbering across the Americas mixes the North American Numbering Plan (+1) with national E.164 plans, so mobile and fixed-line prefixes vary from country to country.
Skipping the exit code
Paraguay calls from the US need 011 first, then +595 — the exit code isn't optional.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
Paraguay numbers often show a domestic leading 0 — drop it once you've dialed the +595 country code from outside the country.
Ignoring the time difference
Paraguay runs on UTC-4. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.

FAQ
Calling Paraguay — frequently asked questions
The major networks in Paraguay are Tigo Paraguay, Claro Paraguay, Personal Paraguay. Twiching interconnects with Tier-1 carriers for direct delivery to these networks, rather than routing through cheaper wholesale transit that can degrade call quality.
Since Paraguay is on UTC-4, plan calls around local business hours there rather than US hours — off-hours calls tend to go unanswered. It's worth checking the current time difference before a first outreach call, since it can shift with daylight saving in either country.
No — Paraguay isn't part of the NANP. It has its own country code, +595, under the international E.164 numbering system, which is why calls from the US need the 011 exit code first.
Yes — since Paraguay runs on UTC-4, calls can be routed to the right team based on local business hours there. That's especially useful for support or sales teams covering multiple countries across different time zones from one platform.
Calls from Paraguay to the US start at $0.016/min on Twiching, billed per second rather than rounded up to the minute. That rate applies regardless of which of the major local carriers the call originates on.
