Area Code 2364 – Masis, Ararat

Overview of Area Code +374 2364

Area code 2364 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Armenian numbering plan, assigned to the town of Masis and its surrounding areas in the Ararat Province of Armenia. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and calls to this code are routed to physical telephone exchanges in that locality. Masis is an important industrial and agricultural hub, located approximately 15 kilometers south of the capital, Yerevan, and serves as a key transport corridor.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 2364 area code covers the city of Masis and the adjacent rural communities within the Masis Municipality of Ararat Province. This includes several villages and settlements that rely on the same local exchange infrastructure. The region is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Ararat Province, with Masis being the second-largest urban center in the province after Artashat.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

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

• Within Armenia (domestic call): Dial 0 2364 X XX XX (where X represents the subscriber number). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for national calls.
• From outside Armenia (international call): Dial +374 2364 X XX XX (or 011 374 2364 X XX XX from North America). The country code for Armenia is +374, and the leading '0' is omitted.

For example, if the local subscriber number is 12345, a domestic caller would dial 0 2364 12345, while an international caller would dial +374 2364 12345.

Caller Instructions and Overlay Considerations

Local callers within Masis can often dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. There are currently no overlay codes in the Masis area, meaning that 2364 is the sole area code for this geographic region. The number length for fixed lines in Armenia is typically 8 digits (including the area code, but excluding the trunk prefix '0').

Important Notes for International Callers

When calling from abroad, ensure you have the correct international exit code for your country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada). Also, be aware of time zone differences: Armenia operates on Armenia Standard Time (UTC+4). No special restrictions apply to calling Masis, but international call charges will apply, and the call will be billed as a fixed-line call to a geographic number.
