Uruguay Phone Number validator
How the phone number format works
- Format
- Uruguay phone number in national or international (+598) format
- Example
- +59894231234
Things to watch for
- Accepts national or international (E.164, e.g. +598...) format
- Validated with Google's libphonenumber; confirms the number is possible/valid for this country, not that it is currently assigned or reachable
^[+]?[0-9 ()\-]{6,}$A Uruguayan phone number is compact by regional standards: mobiles are 8 digits after +598 and always start with 9, such as 94 231234, while landlines are built from a short area code — 2 for Montevideo, for instance — plus a 6-digit local number. Domestically, numbers carry a leading trunk 0 that’s dropped entirely, not converted, once the number is written in +598 international form.
How this validator works
Enter the number domestically (094231234) or internationally (+59894231234); this tool checks the digit count and leading digits against Uruguay’s real numbering plan using Google’s libphonenumber, entirely in your browser. Because the country’s numbering plan is small and tightly closed, the validator can reliably flag a mobile number that doesn’t start with 9, or a domestic 0 kept in place alongside +598.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass confirms the number is structurally valid for Uruguay — it doesn’t confirm the SIM is active or the landline connected, since live status is a carrier-side question this client-side tool can’t answer.
Scope: use this to catch a kept trunk 0, a wrong digit count, or a mobile number that doesn’t start with 9 before it reaches a form — not as confirmation the number rings.

phone number FAQ
How many digits does a Uruguayan mobile number have?
Eight digits after +598, always starting with 9 — 94 231234, for example. Landlines are shorter and use a different structure: a 1 or 2-digit area code such as 2 for Montevideo, plus a 6-digit local number.
What does the domestic 0 do in a Uruguayan number?
It's the trunk prefix added before the number for domestic dialing — 094 231234 for a mobile. That 0 is dropped, not merged into the country code, when the number is written as +59894231234.
Does a valid check confirm the Uruguayan number is currently in service?
No. It confirms the 8 digits match a real Uruguayan mobile or landline pattern using Google's libphonenumber — it doesn't verify the SIM is active, since that needs a carrier-side lookup this browser-based tool doesn't perform.
