Area Code 2813 – Yeghegnadzor/Malishka/Shatin, Vayots dzor

Overview of Armenia's Geographic Numbering Plan

Armenia's public switched telephone network (PSTN) adheres to the ITU-T E.164 international numbering standard. Geographic numbers are assigned with a two-digit national destination code (NDC) for the country, followed by a variable-length subscriber number. The international dialing format for Armenia is +374 followed by the area code (without the leading '0') and the local subscriber number. Within Armenia, callers must prefix the area code with '0' when dialing a number outside their local area.

Area Code 2813: Vayots Dzor Region

The area code 2813 is a geographic code allocated to the Vayots Dzor Province, specifically serving the town of Yeghegnadzor and the adjacent communities of Malishka and Shatin. Yeghegnadzor is the administrative center of Vayots Dzor, located in the southern part of the country. The code is used for fixed-line services within this region.

Subscriber numbers within this area code typically consist of 5 to 6 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 8 digits (including the area code). The full international format for a number in Yeghegnadzor is +374 2813 XX XX (or +374 2813 XXX XX, depending on the subscriber number length).

Dialing Instructions

• Local calls (within Yeghegnadzor and surrounding areas): If you are calling from a fixed line within the same area code, you may only need to dial the subscriber number. However, due to varying local exchange configurations, it is often recommended to dial the full national number (including the area code) to ensure connectivity.
• National calls (from other parts of Armenia): Dial 0 2813 followed by the subscriber number. Example: 0 2813 XX XX.
• International calls (from outside Armenia): Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 374 2813, followed by the subscriber number. Example: +374 2813 XX XX.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

Armenia's telecommunications regulator, the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC), oversees the allocation of geographic numbers. Area code 2813 is part of the closed numbering plan for fixed-line services, meaning that the full national number must be dialed for calls between different area codes. Overlay codes have not been introduced in this region, so the 2813 code remains unique to the Yeghegnadzor exchange area.

For businesses or residents in Yeghegnadzor, Malishka, and Shatin, using the correct international format is crucial for receiving calls from abroad. Ensure that your contact details are published with the +374 2813 prefix to avoid misdialing.
