Ideal Uruguay hours

The best windows to reach Uruguay.

Four factors that decide when a Uruguayan prospect picks up — anchored to the single UYT business day.

Pro tip

For Uruguay, 9:30–11:30 AM UYT on a weekday delivers the highest connect rate across Montevideo and Salto.

Consider time zones

Ensure your call aligns with the local time zone so you never accidentally ring at an unreasonable hour.

Workday schedules

Most professionals are reachable 9 AM – 5 PM local time. Avoid the lunch window from 12–1 PM for the best pickup rates.

Avoid peak hours

Early mornings and late evenings get ignored. Mid-morning (9–11 AM) and post-lunch (2–4 PM) see the highest engagement.

Weekday vs. weekend
