Area Code 2376 – Armavir

Overview of Area Code 2376

Area code 2376 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Armavir Province of the Republic of Armenia, under the national numbering plan administered by the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) of Armenia. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the Armavir region, which is located in the western part of the country, bordering Turkey to the west and the Ararat Plain to the east.

Geographic Coverage and Major Cities

The 2376 code serves the city of Armavir (the provincial capital) and its surrounding urban and rural communities, including the towns of Vagharshapat (Etchmiadzin), Metsamor, and Baghramyan. The region is known for its agricultural significance and historical landmarks, such as the Etchmiadzin Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The code covers a mix of residential, commercial, and administrative lines.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Armavir from within Armenia, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 237 and the subscriber number, which typically consists of 6 digits. The full national format is: 0 237 6XXXXX.

For international callers, the Armenian country code +374 is used, followed by the area code without the leading trunk prefix. The international format is: +374 237 6XXXXX.

Example: To call a fixed line in Armavir with the subscriber number 123456:

• From within Armenia: 0237 6123456
• From abroad: +374 237 6123456

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest PSRC updates, there are no overlay codes in the Armavir region; the 2376 code is the sole geographic code for the area. However, number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators within the same geographic area. The number length is fixed at 8 digits (including the area code) for national dialing, excluding the trunk prefix.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within the Armavir region may need to dial the full national format, as local dialing without the area code is not generally supported. International callers should replace the leading zero with the +374 country code. Ensure that you have the correct subscriber number, as the area code is essential for routing.

For businesses and residents in Armavir, this code is critical for establishing a local presence and ensuring reliable connectivity within the province and with the rest of Armenia.
