Please notice that "area codes" given for all localities in Uruguay are telephone area codes and are valid to this day.Hoverfish Talk 12:45, 28 August 2012 (UTC) You can check here for their validity: http://numerotelefonico.antel.com.uy/index.jsp Hoverfish Talk 12:57, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

There say you can put an OLD number with codes and get the newer one, without them.Rodrigo uy (talk) 14:08, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Still, the new numbers I get contain the numbers I entered. For example, for Casupa, Florida, all the (old) telephone numbers started with 0311. So the new numbers have 4311 instead, which is what I enter in the infobox along with the international calling code for Uruguay. The information given in the infobox can help one verify (or correct if old) the first part of a telephone number, or if one checks Telephone numbers in Uruguay, one can find where a telephone number is located in Uruguay.

I see that in the Spanish Wikipedia the numbers are given but with a different description (Pref. telefónico). I will see if this is possible with the template here and change the name throughout Uruguay. Hoverfish Talk 17:53, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

It's ok, you could understand an area code as a specific number for a specific territory into the country; but as you said, in Spanish "prefijo telefónico" means a number you only mark when you're calling to a phone which is not in your area, and that was abolished: if you want to call a number in your own city or anywhere else in the country, you always put the whole number; i.e.: in 2005 if you wanted to call my house from outside my city, you should have dialed: 044 - 23456, and inside there just only 23456. Nowadays, were you or not in here, you always mark: 4442 3456. Thus, as synonym of "prefijo telefónico", "area code" is wrong, but right for only English meaning. I agree with you, the best way would be to change the words in English Wikipedia, but it's not a really substantial affair, because it's partially correct.Rodrigo uy (talk) 19:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

✅ I changed all entries from "Area code" to "Dial plan" and link this to Telephone numbers in Uruguay. I think it is much clearer now. Thank you for pointing this out and sorry for some possible reverts on my part in the past. Hoverfish Talk 20:57, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
