Addition of a new digit in current landlines numbers[edit]
In 2012 and 2013, land lines were renumbered, with an additional digit 2 prepended.[2] The change was rolled out gradually by area code; first in Santiago (Region Metropolitana) and Arica in late 2012, then throughout all remaining regions between March and July 2013.
Now when calling a landline, area code and an extra 2 are always added at the beginning of the number, or between the area code and number when calling from a different area code or from a mobile phone. E.g. a formerly seven digit Santiago number (02) XXX XXXX is now 22XXX XXXX, and a formerly six digit Punta Arenas number (061) YYY YYY is now 612YYY YYY.

XXX + 0 + country code + area + phone
The current carrier codes are:[4]

Mobile phone numbers[edit]
Mobile network: 9 digits, starting with a 9 plus 8 digits starting with 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 or 4.
Calls from a landline phone to mobile phones have to use the full nine digits number: e.g.: 99X-XXX-XXX, 98X-XXX-XXX, 97X-XXX-XXX, 96X-XXX-XXX, 95X-XXX-XXX or 94X-XXX-XXX
Calls between mobile phones have to be dialed without the first 9. e.g.: 9XXX-XXXX, 8XXX-XXXX, 7XXX-XXXX, 6XXX-XXXX, 5XXX-XXXX or 4XXX-XXXX.
IP Telephony[edit]
The Undersecretariat of Telecommunications (Subtel) created the possibility of telephone service using Internet as a connection technology.[5] The dialing plan was modified to have a zone and uses the prefix 44, resulting in numbers such as 044XXXXXXXX for members using IP Telephony.
