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.
Carriers & language
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.
Americas context
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.

Calling Paraguay — frequently asked questions
