📍 Geographic Location of Badghis
Overview of Afghanistan Area Code 41
Area code 41 is the National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Badghis in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. It is a geographic prefix within the Afghan public switched telephone network (PSTN), administered by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Afghanistan (ATRA). The code serves the provincial capital Qala i Naw and other districts, connecting fixed-line subscribers to the national and international telephone network.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
Badghis Province is located in the northwestern part of Afghanistan, bordering Herat, Faryab, and Ghor provinces, as well as Turkmenistan. The area code 41 covers all fixed-line services in the province, including government offices, businesses, and residential lines. The province is divided into several districts, and the same NDC is used throughout, with local exchange numbers distinguishing individual subscribers.
Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Badghis from within Afghanistan, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 41, and then the subscriber's local number. The local number length is typically 6 to 7 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 to 10 digits (including the leading 0).
Example (domestic call): 0 41 XXX XXXX
For international callers, the country code for Afghanistan is +93. When dialing from abroad, the trunk prefix '0' is omitted. The international format becomes:
Example (international call): +93 41 XXX XXXX
If the local number is 1234567, a domestic call from Kabul would be dialed as 041 1234567, while a caller from the United States would dial +93 41 1234567.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Badghis: In most cases, local calls within the same area code may be made by dialing only the local number, but it is always safe to use the full national format (0 41 ...) to avoid routing issues.
Callers from other Afghan provinces: Must dial the trunk prefix 0, then the area code 41, followed by the local number.
International callers: Should dial their international access prefix (e.g., 011 in the US, 00 in many countries), then Afghanistan's country code 93, then 41, and the local number. Do not include the leading '0'.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ATRA numbering plan, there is no overlay code for Badghis; the area code 41 is exclusively used for this province. However, due to the expansion of mobile and VoIP services, some fixed-line numbers may be routed over IP networks, but the geographic significance of the code remains for emergency services and number portability.
For accurate billing and routing, always verify the current number length with your telecom provider, as the Afghan numbering plan has undergone changes to accommodate growth.
