Area Code 2379 – Armavir/Nalbandian

Overview of Armenia's +374 2379 Geographic Code

The +374 2379 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Armavir region, specifically serving the town of Nalbandian and its surrounding areas. This code is part of Armenia's public switched telephone network (PSTN) and is used for fixed-line services. The region is administratively part of Armavir Province, located in the western part of the country, known for its agricultural activity and proximity to the capital, Yerevan.

Dialing Format and Usage

To call a fixed-line number in Nalbandian from within Armenia, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The complete national dialing format is: 0 2379 XXX XX, where 2379 is the area code and XXX XX represents the 5-digit local subscriber number. For example, a local number such as 12345 would be dialed as 02379 12345 from anywhere in Armenia.

For international callers, the Armenian country code +374 replaces the trunk prefix. The international dialing format is: +374 2379 XXX XX. Thus, the same local number would be dialed as +374 2379 12345 from abroad. It is important to note that the leading '0' is not used when dialing from outside Armenia.

Geographic Coverage and Numbering

The 2379 area code is dedicated to the Nalbandian exchange, which covers the town and nearby rural communities. As a geographic code, it is tied to a physical location, and calls are routed over the traditional circuit-switched network, though many fixed-line operators now offer VoIP-based services that preserve the same numbering plan. The number length is 8 digits in total (including the area code) when dialed nationally, and 8 digits internationally (excluding the country code).

Caller Instructions
