Instructions for Calling to Cell Phones in Argentina

All cellular numbers in Argentina begin with 15. Within the country, you can call by prefixing just the area code e.g. a number in Buenos Aires can be called by dialling 011 first. For calls from outside Argentina to a cellular phone in Argentina, it gets tricky! You have to call 54-9-area code-(cell number without the 15). e.g. For a call to a cellular phone in Buenos Aires, with a number 156666-6666 you have to dial 54-9-11-66666666.
