Area Code 2241 – Kanakeravan/Nor Geghi/Nor Hajn/Yeghvard, Kotayk

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +374 2241 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Kotayk Province of the Republic of Armenia. Specifically, it serves the contiguous urban and semi-urban settlements of Kanakeravan, Nor Geghi, Nor Hajn, and the town of Yeghvard. These localities fall under the administrative jurisdiction of the Kotayk Regional Administration, with Yeghvard serving as the regional capital. The numbering area is situated in the central part of Armenia, northwest of the capital Yerevan, and is part of the broader Ararat Plain economic zone.

Dialing Formats and Call Routing

For callers within Armenia, the prefix is dialed as 02241 followed by the local subscriber number, which typically consists of 5 to 6 digits. For example, a local call to a subscriber in Yeghvard would be placed as 02241 XXXXX. When dialing from abroad, the international format is +374 2241 XXXXX, where the leading zero of the national prefix is omitted. The total number length after the country code is 8 digits, conforming to ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

Subscribers in this geographic area are assigned numbers under the 2241 range, and the Armenian Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) oversees the allocation and management of these numbers. As of the latest numbering plan updates, no overlay code has been implemented for this region, meaning 2241 remains the sole geographic prefix for these communities.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Armenia): Dial 0 2241 [subscriber number] from any fixed or mobile line.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America), then 374 2241 [subscriber number].
• Mobile users in Armenia can dial the same national format; no special access code is required.

When calling from a foreign country, ensure you replace the leading zero of the national prefix with the country code +374. For instance, a number written as 02241 12345 locally becomes +374 2241 12345 internationally.
