Caller Instructions
Local callers within the Ararat Province may need to include the area code even for nearby destinations, depending on the current numbering plan. As of the latest ITU-T recommendations, Armenia uses a closed dialing plan, meaning the trunk prefix and area code are always required for all calls, even within the same locality. Foreign callers should ensure they have the correct exit code for their country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America) before dialing the Armenian country code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
No overlay codes have been introduced for the Masis area; the 2366 code remains the sole geographic identifier for this region. However, as Armenia continues to modernize its telecommunications infrastructure, some fixed-line numbers may be migrated to VoIP or other technologies, but the geographic significance of the prefix remains unchanged. This code is not used for mobile services, which are assigned to non-geographic prefixes under the +374 country code.
