Caller Instructions
For local callers within Armenia: Always include the trunk prefix '0' and the area code when dialing any number outside your immediate local exchange. Even within the same area code, the full national format is typically required for fixed-line numbers.
For international callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then Armenia's country code +374, followed by the area code 2327 and the subscriber number. Do not include the '0' trunk prefix.
As of the latest numbering plan updates, there are no overlay codes in this region, so the 2327 code remains exclusive to the Ashtarak area. However, always verify the current dialing procedures with your telecom provider, as numbering changes may occur.
