This code is part of the national numbering plan administered under the ITU-T E.164 standard, with the country calling code +375 for Belarus.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The code covers the administrative district centered on Drogichin, which is located in the southwestern part of the Brest Region, near the border with Ukraine. The district includes the town of Drogichin itself, as well as smaller settlements and rural areas within the district's boundaries. The Brest Region is one of the six administrative regions of Belarus, and Drogichin serves as a local administrative center.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Drogichin, the subscriber number typically consists of 5 to 6 digits after the area code. The complete national (trunk) format is:

• 8 01644 XXX XX (when dialing from within Belarus, using the trunk prefix 8 and the national destination code 01644)

For international callers, the format is:

• +375 1644 XXX XX (from any country, replacing the trunk prefix with the international access code and Belarus's country code +375)

For example, if the local subscriber number is 2 34 56, a call from within Belarus would be dialed as 8 01644 2 34 56, while an international caller would dial +375 1644 2 34 56.

Caller Instructions

Local callers (within Drogichin) may be able to dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local network configuration. However, for calls from other regions of Belarus, the trunk prefix 8 and the area code 01644 must be used. Foreign callers should always use the international format: +375 1644 followed by the local subscriber number, omitting any leading trunk prefix.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest available data, there is no overlay plan for this area code, meaning that +375 1644 is the sole geographic code for Drogichin. Fixed-line numbers in this area are provided by the national operator (Beltelecom) and possibly other licensed operators. Subscriber numbers are not portable to other geographic areas, but fixed-to-mobile portability exists within Belarus, allowing users to keep their numbers when switching between fixed and mobile services, subject to regulatory rules.

When dialing from abroad, ensure you have the correct international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada) before the country code +375. Always verify the number length and format with the recipient to avoid misdialing.
