Telephone numbers in Venezuela
The Venezuelan Numbering Plan is an open telephone numbering plan with three-digit area codes and seven-digit telephone numbers that directs telephone calls to particular regions on a public switched telephone network or to a mobile telephone network, where they are further routed by the local network. The last revision of the current numbering plan is September 21, 2000.
