How to write a El Salvador number in E.164

  1. Remove spaces, dashes, dots and brackets so only digits are left.
  2. El Salvador has no trunk prefix, so keep every digit of the national number.
  3. Put +503 in front. The result has 8 digits after the country code for a mobile.

So 7012 3456 becomes +50370123456. E.164 is the format SMS gateways, dialers and most CRMs store; see the E.164 format explained for why.

Mobile or landline?

El Salvador allocates separate number ranges to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type straight from the digits, for free. That type describes the range the number came from. It doesn’t prove the number is connected today.
