History
Guatemala’s National Numbering Plan was formalised through SIT Resolution 516-99 in June 1999 and adapted as the telecommunications market and mobile services expanded. The current SIT plan identifies fixed services with leading digits 2, 6 and 7 and mobile services with leading digits 3, 4 and 5.
