Paraguay SMS numbers: +595, mobile 9 and short codes

A three-digit minimum does not describe a mobile number

Paraguay’s CONATEL submitted an E.164 plan to ITU in 2021 with an overall national-length range of three to nine digits. That table covers different service resources. Its mobile entry is nine national digits after +595, with 9 as the destination code. Geographic basic telephone entries include 21, and short service numbers are listed separately. Reading the overall minimum as a three-digit mobile destination would create an invalid verification entry.

The plan also describes domestic access using 0 before the destination code and subscriber number. If the sender has already selected Paraguay/+595, do not attach that domestic dialing 0 to the internationally formatted order number. Use the digits actually allocated and the sender’s field instructions rather than constructing a number from an allocation table.

Compare offers for the same sender

The current Paraguay snapshot has separate quotes for Facebook and Viber. Select the sender and Paraguay/+595 before comparing Smart, Select, Flex and Global prices and timers. A common country code and mobile leading 9 do not make two app products interchangeable. The English USD amount is indicative; checkout specifies the CNY debit.

For comparison with Argentina, switch the country selection to +54. Paraguay’s mobile leading-digit rule does not describe Argentina.

Check the nine digits before retrying

On a digit-count rejection, count the nine digits after +595 and check for an inserted domestic prefix or repeated country code. On a region restriction, review sender policy rather than replacing the destination with a similar geographic number or short code. If an SMS is reportedly sent but absent from the order, keep the request time and remaining window. SMS4U receives texts within an order; it does not offer USSD, voice or permanent number ownership.
