Overview of Area Code 2340

Area code 2340 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Ararat region of Armenia, specifically serving the town of Vedi and the adjacent community of Vosketap. This code falls within the administrative jurisdiction of the Ararat Province (Ararat marz), located in the central-southern part of the country. The region is known for its agricultural production, particularly vineyards and fruit orchards, and lies along the main highway connecting Yerevan to the border with Azerbaijan (Nakhichevan).

Geographic Coverage and Dialing Formats

The 2340 prefix is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services in Vedi and Vosketap. Subscribers within this area have seven-digit local numbers, where the first four digits are the area code (2340) and the remaining three digits are the subscriber number. When dialing locally within the same area code, callers may omit the prefix and dial only the three-digit subscriber number, depending on the local exchange's configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national number.

National dialing (within Armenia): To call a number in Vedi from another Armenian city or mobile network, dial 0 2340 XX XXX. The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used to access the national PSTN.

International dialing (from outside Armenia): Callers should dial the Armenian country code +374, followed by the area code without the leading '0', and then the subscriber number. The complete international format is +374 2340 XX XXX.

Important Notes for Callers

Armenia has implemented number portability for both fixed and mobile services, so a number with the 2340 prefix may occasionally be routed to a different operator or even a mobile network if the subscriber has ported. However, the geographic significance remains tied to the original allocation. For international callers, it is essential to replace the trunk prefix '0' with the country code '+374' when dialing from abroad. There are no known overlay codes for this area, and the 2340 prefix is dedicated solely to the Vedi/Vosketap region.
