Dialing Formats and Instructions
Understanding the correct dialing format is essential for both local and international callers.
- Local Calls (within Armenia): When dialing from another fixed or mobile line within Armenia, subscribers must use the trunk prefix 0 followed by the NDC and the subscriber number. The format is:
0 478 XXX XXX(where X represents the local subscriber digits). For example, to call a Martuni number, you would dial0 478 123 456. - International Calls (from outside Armenia): Callers from abroad must replace the trunk prefix with the Armenian country code. The format is:
+374 478 XXX XXX. For instance, from the United States, you would dial011 374 478 123 456; from the UK,00 374 478 123 456.
Numbering Plan and Overlay Considerations
Armenian fixed-line numbers typically consist of the NDC (e.g., 478) followed by a subscriber number of 6 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 digits (excluding the trunk prefix). As of the latest ITU-T E.164 allocations, there are no overlay codes for Martuni; the 478 prefix remains the sole geographic code for this area. However, subscribers may have the option to retain their numbers when switching between fixed-line operators, subject to local number portability regulations.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Armenia, always include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing a Martuni number, even if you are calling from another fixed line in the same region. For international callers, ensure you use the correct international access code for your country (e.g., 011 in North America, 00 in most European countries) followed by Armenia's country code 374 and the full NDC without the leading 0. This ensures proper routing through the PSTN.
