Numbering Plan Considerations
Armenia's numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. Geographic area codes are used for fixed-line services, and the 2233 code is not overlaid with any other area code, meaning that local calls within the same area code do not require the area code to be dialed. However, due to the relatively small size of the Armenian market, many fixed-line numbers are now being migrated to VoIP or mobile networks, but the geographic significance of the code remains for administrative and routing purposes.
When dialing from abroad, it is essential to omit the trunk prefix '0' that is used domestically. Always use the country code +374 followed by the area code and subscriber number.
