Area Code 2682 – Dilijan, Tavush

Geographic Overview

The +374 2682 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Dilijan and its surrounding areas within the Tavush Province of Armenia. Dilijan, often referred to as the 'Armenian Switzerland' due to its lush forests and mountainous terrain, is a significant urban center in the country's northeast. This numbering area covers the town of Dilijan itself, along with nearby settlements such as Gosh, Haghartsin, and Teghut, which fall under the administrative jurisdiction of the Dilijan Municipality.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Dilijan from within Armenia, subscribers must use the national trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber's local number. The complete national dialing format is:

0 2682 XXXXX

Here, '0' is the trunk prefix, '2682' is the area code, and 'XXXXX' represents the 5-digit local subscriber number. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 2682 12345.

For international callers, the Armenian country code (+374) replaces the trunk prefix. The international dialing format is:

+374 2682 XXXXX

Thus, from abroad, you would dial +374 2682 12345. Note that the leading '0' is omitted when dialing from outside Armenia.

Caller Instructions

Local Callers (within Armenia): If you are calling from another fixed line or mobile phone inside Armenia, you must always include the trunk prefix '0' and the area code '2682', even if you are dialing from a nearby town. The full national number is required for all calls.

International Callers: When calling from any country outside Armenia, replace the trunk prefix with the Armenian country code +374. Ensure you have the correct international exit code for your country (e.g., 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most European countries) before dialing +374 2682 XXXXX.

Numbering and Overlay Considerations

Armenia's numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. Geographic area codes are assigned by the Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia. Currently, there is no overlay code for Dilijan; the 2682 area code serves exclusively this region. Subscriber numbers within this code are 5 digits long, resulting in a total national significant number length of 8 digits (excluding the trunk prefix). This structure ensures sufficient numbering capacity for the region's telecommunications needs.

As with all geographic numbers in Armenia, calls to +374 2682 are routed over the PSTN and may also be reachable via VoIP providers that interconnect with the national network. However, the service is primarily associated with fixed-line telephony.
