Overview of Area Code 2425 (Gakh, Azerbaijan)
Area code 2425 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Gakh District (Qax rayonu) in the northwestern part of the Republic of Azerbaijan. This region lies along the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, bordering Georgia to the north. The administrative center is the city of Gakh (also spelled Qax or Qakh), which is the primary locality served by this code. Other towns and villages within the district, such as Qum, Ləkit, and İlisu, also fall under the same numbering area.
As a geographic code, 2425 is used exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services. Subscribers within the Gakh district are assigned numbers in the format +994 24 25X XX XX, where the full national significant number (NSN) consists of nine digits after the country code. The prefix '24' indicates the northwestern geographic zone of Azerbaijan, while '25' further identifies the Gakh exchange.
Dialing Instructions
To call a fixed-line number in Gakh from abroad, dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then the Azerbaijani country code 994, followed by the area code 2425 and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. For example, a call to a local number 34567 would be dialed as +994 2425 34567 from a foreign phone.
Within Azerbaijan, callers from other regions must first dial the trunk prefix 0 before the area code, resulting in 0 2425 34567. However, local calls within the Gakh district can be made by dialing only the 5-digit subscriber number, without the area code, depending on the operator's local dialing plan.
Numbering and Overlay Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, there is no overlay code for Gakh. The area code 2425 is unique to this district. All fixed-line numbers in Azerbaijan are 9 digits long after the country code, and the total length of an international number is 12 digits (including the +994).
For callers outside Azerbaijan, it is important to omit the leading '0' of the trunk prefix when dialing internationally. The Azerbaijani numbering plan follows the closed dialing plan for international calls but requires the trunk prefix for domestic long-distance calls.
This geographic code is managed by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan, and all fixed-line services are provided by Aztelekom LLC, the national incumbent operator.
