Skype Calling To Bolivia: A Guide For Us Users

If you want to call Bolivia from the US, you can use Skype, which offers economical or free international calls via an internet connection. To make an international call using Skype, you will need to buy a little Skype Credit or a subscription. To dial a Bolivian number from the US, first enter the international exit code for making calls outside of the US, which is 011. Next, enter Bolivia's country code, which is +591. Finally, dial the area code and local phone number.

Dial the US exit code: 011

When calling Bolivia from the US, the first thing you need to do is dial the US exit code. This is the code that allows you to make international calls from the US. The exit code for the US is 011. This code replaces the '+' symbol commonly used in international numbers.

Exit codes are used to place international calls from anywhere in the world. They are also known as International Access Codes (IAC). The most common exit codes are "00" and "011". If you are calling from a mobile phone, you can replace the exit code with a "+" sign, which has the same function as the exit codes.

Dialing the exit code is the first step in the process of making an international call. This is followed by the country code of the country you are calling, in this case, Bolivia. The country code for Bolivia is 591. After the country code, you dial the city or area code, followed by the local phone number.

So, to call Bolivia from the US, you would start by dialling 011, followed by 591, and then the relevant area code and local number. For example, if you are calling La Paz from New York City, you would dial 011-591-2- followed by the local number.

Dial Bolivia's country code: +591

To call Bolivia from the US using Skype, you'll first need to buy some Skype Credit or a subscription. Then, follow these steps:

• Sign in to Skype and select the Dial pad.
• Select the country name above the dial pad, then choose Bolivia from the drop-down list. Alternatively, you can enter the country code manually. Bolivia's country code is +591.
• Enter the local phone number you wish to call.
• Select the Call button.

Here's an example of how to use this information when calling La Paz from New York City:

• Dial 011 for the US exit code.
• Dial 591 for Bolivia's country code.
• Dial 2 for La Paz's area code.
• Dial the local phone number.

So, if the local number is 123-4567, you would dial 011-591-2-123-4567.

Dial the Bolivia area code

To successfully call Bolivia from the US, you need to dial the Bolivia area code after the country code. The country code for Bolivia is '591'. Bolivia is divided into 3 calling regions, each with a 1-digit code called a city code. These are assigned to specific cities and their surrounding areas.

For example, if you are calling La Paz, Oruro, or Potosi, the city code is '2'. So, the number sequence would be: 011 + 591 + 2 + local number. If you are calling a mobile phone in Bolivia, you would skip the city code and simply dial the country code followed by the 8-digit mobile number.

If you are using Skype to call Bolivia, you can follow the same format. First, type '+' followed by the country code '591', and then the relevant area code and local number.

It is important to note that calling a wrong area code can be costly, so make sure you have the correct information before placing your call.

Dial the local number

To dial the local number when calling Bolivia from the US using Skype, follow these steps:

Firstly, you need to understand the basics of calling Bolivia from the US. Every country has an exit code, which is the code you dial first when placing international calls. The exit code for the US is 011. After the exit code, you dial the country code for Bolivia, which is 591. Bolivia is divided into three calling regions, each with a one-digit city code. For example, the city code for La Paz, Oruro, and Potosi is 2, and for Cobija, Trinidad, and Santa Cruz, it's 3.

Now, let's focus on dialling the local number. If you are calling a landline in Bolivia, you need to dial a total of 15 digits. This includes the exit code, country code, city code, and the local number. Here's an example: if you are calling a La Paz number from New York City, you would dial 011-591-2- followed by the seven-digit local number. So, if the local number is 123-4567, you would dial 011-591-2-123-4567.

On the other hand, if you are calling a mobile phone in Bolivia, you only need to dial a total of 14 digits. This is because mobile phones are not confined to one city, so you don't need to include the city code. Simply dial the exit code, country code, and the eight-digit mobile number. For example, if you are calling a mobile number in Santa Cruz, you would dial 011-591- followed by the eight-digit mobile number. So, if the mobile number is 765-4321, your dialling sequence would be 011-591-765-4321.

Remember, when using Skype, you will need to buy Skype Credit or a subscription to make international calls. Additionally, you can select the country you are calling from the drop-down list or manually enter the country code.
