📍 Geographic Location of Khagrachari
Overview of Area Code 371 (Khagrachari)
Area code 371 is the geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Khagrachari District in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region of southeastern Bangladesh. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) under the ITU-T E.164 standard. Khagrachari is one of the three hill districts (along with Bandarban and Rangamati) and serves as the administrative headquarters of Khagrachari Hill District Council.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 371 code covers the entire Khagrachari District, including its main town (Khagrachari Sadar) and surrounding sub-districts (upazilas) such as Dighinala, Panchhari, Lakshmichhari, Mohalchhari, Manikchhari, Matiranga, and Ramgarh. These areas are served by fixed-line PSTN operators, including state-owned BTCL and private operators, providing local and national connectivity.
Dialing Formats
For callers within Bangladesh, the local dialing format for a landline number in Khagrachari is: 0 371 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber number). Internationally, callers must use the country code for Bangladesh (+880) and omit the leading trunk prefix '0', resulting in: +880 371 XXX XXX. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 371 51234 domestically and +880 371 51234 from abroad.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for Khagrachari; the 371 code is the sole geographic code for the district. However, as with all fixed-line numbers in Bangladesh, subscriber numbers are typically 6 to 7 digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is 10 digits (including the NDC). With the growth of telecommunications, BTRC may introduce additional digits or overlay codes in the future, but as of now, 371 remains the primary code.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Khagrachari, dialing the full number with the trunk prefix is required even for on-net calls, as per BTRC regulations. For callers from other regions of Bangladesh, dial 0 371 followed by the subscriber number. For international callers, replace the leading '0' with +880 and then dial 371 and the subscriber number. It is important to note that mobile numbers in Bangladesh do not use geographic area codes; they have their own non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 017, 018, 019). Therefore, when calling a mobile phone in Khagrachari, you must use the mobile prefix, not 371.
