International callers should dial their country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by Armenia's country code 374, then the area code 2858 (without the leading zero) and the subscriber number. Example from the US: 011 374 2858 XXXXX.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, there is no overlay code for this area. The 2858 code is exclusively assigned to fixed-line services in the specified region. Mobile numbers in Armenia use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 77, 91, 93, 94, 98, 99) and are not affected by this area code. Number portability exists for mobile services, but fixed-line numbers are generally tied to the geographic location.
