Area Code 2336 – Baghramyan, Armavir

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +374 2336 numbering block is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Baghramyan and its surrounding rural communities within the Armavir Province (Armavir Marz) of the Republic of Armenia. This code routes calls to fixed-line subscribers connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) in that specific administrative district. Armavir Province is located in the western part of Armenia, bordering Turkey to the south and west. Baghramyan serves as a local administrative center, and the 2336 prefix covers the town itself along with nearby villages that fall under its telecommunication exchange area.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Armenia, the national dialing format requires the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The complete national number for a Baghramyan fixed line is 0 2336 XX XXX (where 'XX XXX' represents the 5-digit local subscriber number). For example, a local call to a subscriber number 12345 would be dialed as 02336 12345.

For international callers, the Armenian country code (+374) replaces the trunk prefix. The international format is +374 2336 XX XXX. Thus, a caller from abroad would dial +374 2336 12345 to reach the same subscriber. It is essential to omit the leading '0' when dialing from outside Armenia.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Armenia's national numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. The 2336 area code is a geographic code, and no overlay codes are currently active in the Baghramyan region. Subscriber numbers within this code are 5 digits long, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 8 digits (excluding the trunk prefix). The Armenian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (PSRC) administers the numbering plan, and fixed-line numbers are generally not portable between geographic areas, though portability within the same area may be supported by the incumbent operator.

Practical Usage Notes

When calling from a mobile phone within Armenia, the same national format (0 2336 XX XXX) is used. For callers using VoIP services, it is important to ensure that the service provider supports geographic numbering and applies the correct national or international prefix. Calls to +374 2336 numbers are typically charged at standard domestic fixed-line rates when made from within Armenia, while international rates apply from abroad. Businesses and residents in Baghramyan rely on this code for reliable PSTN connectivity, and it is widely used for official and administrative communications.
