Area Code 475 – Hadrut

Overview of Area Code +374 475

Area code 475 is a geographic destination code within the Republic of Armenia's national numbering plan, assigned to the town of Hadrut and its surrounding administrative district. Hadrut is located in the southern part of the country, within the historical region of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). The code is used for fixed-line telephone services connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 475 numbering area covers the Hadrut region, which includes the town itself and several adjacent rural communities. Administratively, the region is under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Armenia, though it lies in a territory with a complex geopolitical status. For telecommunications purposes, numbers with the +374 475 prefix are allocated to local fixed-line operators and are subject to the regulations of the Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia.

Dialing Formats

To call a fixed-line number in Hadrut, the dialing format depends on the caller's location:

• Within Armenia (local call): Dial the area code and subscriber number without the international prefix. For example, if the local number is 2 34 56, dial 475 2 34 56.
• From abroad (international call): Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then Armenia's country code 374, followed by the area code and subscriber number: +374 475 2 34 56.

Note that the trunk prefix '0' used for domestic calls within Armenia is not included when dialing from outside the country; only the country code and area code are used.

Numbering and Overlay Considerations

Armenian fixed-line numbers typically consist of 6 to 8 digits after the country code, depending on the area code. For the 475 area, subscriber numbers are generally 5 to 6 digits long. There are currently no overlay codes for Hadrut; the 475 code is the sole geographic code for the region. As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, no major changes have been announced for this area.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Hadrut, if you are calling another number within the same area code, you may be able to dial only the subscriber number, depending on your operator's local dialing rules. However, to avoid confusion, it is recommended to always include the area code when dialing from a mobile phone or from another fixed-line region.

For international callers, ensure you have the correct country code (+374) and drop any leading '0' from the area code. Also, be aware of time zone differences (Armenia Time, UTC+4) when placing calls.
