Buy a Chilean Virtual Phone Number

This page is for businesses that want to be reachable in Chile without opening a local office. Whether you are selling to Chilean consumers, supporting Chilean customers, or using Chile as your base for the South American Pacific coast, a Chilean virtual phone number lets you present a local identity while keeping your operations international.

Chile is South America’s most stable and internationally connected economy, with a population of around 19.5 million people. The country has the highest GDP per capita in South America and is known for its strong institutions, transparent regulatory framework and open trade policies. Santiago is a major regional business hub, and Chile’s economy spans mining (particularly copper), agriculture, wine, fisheries, financial services and a growing technology sector. A Chilean phone number gives your business direct access to this market.

When a Chilean customer sees a local Santiago or Valparaíso number, they recognise it as a domestic call. They pay standard Chilean rates and feel confident they are dealing with a business that serves the local market. That recognition translates into higher answer rates, more enquiries and stronger customer relationships.

Chile is one of the most business-friendly countries in Latin America, with strong rule of law, low corruption and a highly educated workforce. The country has more free trade agreements than almost any other nation, including with the EU, the US, China, Japan and South Korea. Chile is a member of the OECD, the Pacific Alliance and the CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership).

The time zone is CLT, at UTC-4 in winter and UTC-3 during Chilean summer time. This allows good overlap for business calls — a European afternoon aligns with a Chilean morning.

Santiago has a growing technology and startup ecosystem, and Chile’s Start-Up Chile program has attracted entrepreneurs from around the world. The country’s mining sector — Chile produces nearly a third of the world’s copper — creates opportunities in mining technology, engineering and professional services. For businesses in mining, financial services, technology, food and beverages, or professional services, Chile is a priority market in the region.

Chile stretches along the entire western coast of South America, bordering Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. A Chilean phone number positions your business on the Pacific side of the continent, complementing any presence you may have in Atlantic-facing markets like Brazil and Argentina. Santiago serves as a regional hub for many international companies managing Pacific-facing operations.

Chile’s membership in the Pacific Alliance (alongside Mexico, Colombia and Peru) and the CPTPP connects it to markets across the Pacific Rim. For businesses looking to engage with both Latin America and Asia-Pacific trade routes, Chile is a natural bridge between the two regions.

Toll-free 800 — Free for callers from any Chilean phone. Best for customer service lines, support desks and national marketing campaigns where you want to remove any cost barrier. A worldwide address is accepted.

National 44 — A non-geographic number that works across all of Chile. Not tied to any city, making it ideal for businesses that serve the entire country rather than a specific region. A worldwide address is accepted.

Local geographic — City-specific numbers that carry a recognisable area code. A 2 number says Santiago, a 32 says Valparaíso, a 41 says Concepción. Best for businesses targeting specific cities or wanting to appear locally established. A worldwide address is accepted.

All Chilean number types accept a worldwide address, making Chile one of the simplest countries to set up. No Chilean address or local entity required.

Chilean landline numbers use a two-digit area code for Santiago (2) and two- or three-digit area codes for other cities, followed by the subscriber number. The trunk prefix for domestic calls is 0. When displaying internationally, drop the trunk prefix and add the country code +56:

Local example (Santiago): 02 2123 4567 domestically, +56 2 2123 4567 internationally

National example: 044 123 4567 domestically, +56 44 123 4567 internationally

Toll-free example: 800 123 456 domestically

On your website, always show the international format with +56 so both Chilean and international visitors can dial correctly. In advertising targeting Chilean audiences, use the domestic format with the trunk prefix.

You choose a Chilean number — toll-free 800, national 44 or local geographic — and tell us where to forward calls. We activate the number, typically within one business day. When someone in Chile dials your number, the call routes through our network and reaches you on your landline, mobile or VoIP system. The caller pays standard Chilean rates (or nothing, for toll-free) and your team answers from abroad.

You manage everything through your online account: change forwarding destinations, set opening hours, configure a phone menu or enable voicemail. No hardware, no installation, no Chilean office required.
