Geographic Overview
The +374 2689 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Dilijan area within the Tavush Province of Armenia. Dilijan, often referred to as the “Armenian Switzerland” due to its forested mountains and spa resorts, is a significant urban center in the country’s northeast. The code serves the town of Dilijan and its surrounding administrative jurisdiction, including nearby settlements and rural communities that rely on the Dilijan central office for their fixed-line telephony services.
Dialing Formats and Usage
For callers within Armenia, the national dialing format is 0 2689 XX XXX (where X represents the local subscriber number). The leading ‘0’ is the national trunk prefix used to access the public switched telephone network (PSTN) within the country. When dialing from abroad, the international format is +374 2689 XX XXX, replacing the trunk prefix with the Armenian country code (+374).
For example, a local call to a Dilijan subscriber would be dialed as 02689 12 345, while an international caller would dial +374 2689 12 345. It is essential to omit the initial ‘0’ when dialing from outside Armenia.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, the 2689 code does not have an overlay. The Armenian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (PSRC) has not announced any overlay plans for the Dilijan area. Subscriber numbers under this prefix are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a total national significant number length of 8 digits (excluding the trunk prefix).
Geographic codes in Armenia are used exclusively for fixed-line PSTN services. For VoIP or mobile services, non-geographic codes are allocated. Therefore, the 2689 prefix is not portable to mobile networks, and callers should expect traditional wireline service characteristics, such as fixed monthly billing and location-based emergency services.
