Area Code 2673 – Berd/Mosesgegh/Navur/Norashen, Tavush

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The area code +374 2673 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Berd and the surrounding communities of Mosesgegh, Navur, and Norashen, all located in the Tavush Province of northeastern Armenia. This region is part of the administrative district centered on Berd, which serves as the primary economic and administrative hub for the area. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within this specific geographic zone.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Armenia, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. To call a Berd number from another Armenian city, dial:

• 0 2673 X XX XX (where X denotes the subscriber's local number).

For international callers, the Armenian country code +374 is used, and the leading trunk prefix is dropped. The international format is:

• +374 2673 X XX XX

When dialing from abroad, ensure you use the correct international access code for your country (e.g., 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most European countries) before the country code.

Numbering Plan Details

Armenian fixed-line numbers in this region follow the national numbering plan, which uses a variable-length subscriber number. The total length of a complete international number (including country code and area code) is 8 to 10 digits, depending on the subscriber number length. The area code 2673 is part of the closed numbering plan, meaning that local calls within the same area code do not require the trunk prefix or area code; however, for clarity and consistency, it is recommended to always use the full national or international format when dialing from mobile networks or VoIP services.

Overlay and Number Portability Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 updates, there is no overlay code for the Berd area. The code 2673 remains exclusively assigned to the geographic region. However, number portability is available in Armenia, allowing subscribers to retain their fixed-line numbers when switching between operators, provided the service address remains within the same geographic area. This means that a number with the 2673 prefix may be served by any licensed fixed-line operator, not necessarily the incumbent.

Practical Guidance for Callers

For local callers within Berd and its surrounding villages, dialing the 6-digit subscriber number directly is sufficient for local calls. For callers from Yerevan or other regions, use the national format 0 2673 followed by the subscriber number. International callers should always use the full international format +374 2673 to ensure proper routing. When saving contacts in a mobile phone, it is best practice to store the number in international format (+374 2673 ...) to facilitate dialing from any location.
