Practical points for +58 numbers

Venezuela uses the Venezuelan bolívar soberano as its currency, so any credit you send to a mobile there is applied in that currency. Calls and messages to +58 numbers reach a country in South America whose capital is Caracas. The single time zone, America/Caracas at UTC-04:00, applies across the country. Spanish is the main language, so a person answering a Venezuelan number will most likely speak Spanish. When you store a contact, keep the full international format so the number works from outside the country. For credit, the three operators on the Slashtel list are Movistar, Digitel and Movilnet, and the top-up page covers all three.
