Area Code 2817 – Getap/Salli/Yeghegnadzor, Vayots dzor

Overview of Area Code +374 2817

Area code 2817 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Armenian numbering plan, assigned to the Vayots Dzor Province in the southern part of the country. Specifically, it serves the town of Yeghegnadzor (the provincial capital) and the nearby communities of Getap and Salli. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and numbers under it follow the standard Armenian geographic numbering format.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Vayots Dzor Province is bordered by the Gegharkunik, Syunik, and Ararat provinces, and shares a short border with Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan). The region is known for its rugged terrain, vineyards, and historical sites. Yeghegnadzor serves as the administrative and economic hub, while Getap and Salli are smaller rural settlements. The 2817 area code is one of several NDCs allocated to Vayots Dzor, with other towns such as Jermuk and Vayk having their own codes.

Dialing Formats

To call a fixed-line number in the 2817 area from within Armenia, you must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The national significant number (NSN) for Armenian fixed lines is 8 digits, including the leading '0' when dialed domestically. For example, a local number might be formatted as:

• Domestic (within Armenia): 0 281 7X XX XX
• International (from abroad): +374 281 7X XX XX

Note that the '0' is dropped when dialing from outside Armenia. The subscriber number length can vary, but the total number of digits after the country code (374) is typically 8, including the area code.

Caller Instructions

For local callers (within Armenia): If you are calling from another fixed line or mobile phone in Armenia, simply dial 0 281 followed by the local number. For example, to reach a number 7X XX XX, dial 0 281 7X XX XX.

For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then Armenia's country code 374, then the area code 281 (without the leading 0), and finally the local number. For instance, from the US you would dial 011 374 281 7X XX XX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T recommendations, Armenia has not implemented overlay codes for geographic areas; each region retains its own NDC. The 2817 code is part of the numbering plan administered by the Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia. Fixed-line numbers are not portable between geographic areas, so a number with the 2817 code will always be associated with the Yeghegnadzor region.

When dialing from a mobile phone within Armenia, the same domestic format applies. Mobile numbers in Armenia begin with 77, 91, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, or 99 and are non-geographic.
