Area Code 2331 – Baghramyan/Lernagog, Armavir

Overview of Area Code 2331

Area code 2331 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the towns of Baghramyan and Lernagog, located in the Armavir Province of Armenia. This code is part of the Armenian public switched telephone network (PSTN) and is used for fixed-line services within the specified administrative boundaries. The region is primarily agricultural, with local administrative and business services relying on this dedicated numbering area.

Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction

The 2331 code covers the settlements of Baghramyan and Lernagog, which fall under the Armavir administrative region. Armavir Province is situated in the western part of Armenia, bordering Turkey. The area is characterized by rural communities and small-scale enterprises. The code is allocated for geographic fixed-line telephony, meaning that the number is physically associated with the local exchange serving these towns.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

To call a fixed-line number in Baghramyan or Lernagog, the dialing format depends on the caller's location:

• Domestic calls (within Armenia): Dial 0 2331 XXXXX, where 0 is the trunk prefix, 2331 is the area code, and XXXXX is the local subscriber number (typically 5 digits).
• International calls (from outside Armenia): Dial +374 2331 XXXXX, replacing the leading 0 with the country code +374.

For example, if the local number is 12345, a domestic caller would dial 0 2331 12345, while an international caller would dial +374 2331 12345.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, there is no overlay code for the 2331 area. The code is unique to this geographic region, and no additional area codes have been assigned to the same area. Callers should always include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing domestically, as it is required to access the national long-distance network.

Practical Guidance for Callers

For local callers within the same area code, it may be possible to dial only the subscriber number without the area code, depending on the local exchange settings. However, for reliability, it is recommended to always use the full national format. Foreign callers should note that Armenian numbers are typically 8 digits long when including the area code (excluding the trunk prefix), and the country code +374 must be used for international access.
