Area Code 2369 – Masis, Ararat

Geographic Overview

The +374 2369 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Masis and its immediate surrounding areas within the Ararat Province of Armenia. Masis is an important industrial and transportation hub located approximately 15 kilometers south of the capital, Yerevan, along the main highway to the Araks River border with Turkey. The prefix serves both residential and business fixed-line subscribers within the Masis urban area and adjacent rural communities.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Armenia, the number must be dialed in the national format: 0 2369 XX XXX. The leading '0' is the national trunk prefix, followed by the area code '2369' and the subscriber number, which typically consists of 5 to 6 digits. For international callers, the country code +374 is used, and the trunk prefix '0' is omitted: +374 2369 XX XXX.

Example: If a local subscriber number is 12345, the national dialing format would be 0 2369 12345, and the international format would be +374 2369 12345.

Caller Instructions

When calling a Masis fixed-line number from another Armenian city, you must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber number. From abroad, you must first dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then Armenia's country code 374, followed by the area code (without the leading '0') and the subscriber number.

If you are calling from a mobile phone within Armenia, you can dial the national format directly. For calls from Masis to other Armenian regions, the same national dialing rules apply.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

Armenia's numbering plan is administered by the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC). Geographic numbers like those under 2369 are tied to a physical location and are typically provided by fixed-line operators such as ArmenTel (Beeline), Rostelecom Armenia, and Ucom. These numbers are not portable to other geographic areas, but they can be ported between operators within the same geographic region. Calls to 2369 numbers are generally charged as local or national fixed-line rates, depending on the caller's location and operator.

As of recent years, Armenia has not implemented overlay codes for Masis, so the 2369 area code remains unique to this region. However, subscribers may also have access to non-geographic numbers for VoIP services, which are not tied to the Masis area.
