When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Hrazdan from within Armenia, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 2236 and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. The complete national format is 0 2236 XX XXX. For example, a local number such as 4 12 34 would be dialed as 0 2236 4 12 34 from any other part of Armenia.

The Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia oversees the assignment and management of these codes.
