Spanish term or phrase: CARACTERÍSTICA
Como se llama a la característica de un número de teléfono?
Por ejemplo en Argentina uno reconoce mas o menos de donde nos están llamando por la característica del número de telefono E.G: en el teléfono 46391208 el 4639 es la característica y el 1208 es el resto del teléfono
Alguien sabe? es como el Country Code +54 para Argentina, o el City Code 011 para Buenos Aires pero para diferenciar las zona barriales, se lo podría llamar CODE?
Gracias
