Area Code 1652 – Ivanovo, Brest Region

Overview of Belarus Area Code +375 1652

Area code 1652 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Ivanovo and its surrounding rural districts within the Brest Region of Belarus. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ministry of Communications and Informatization, following ITU-T E.164 recommendations. The geographic area covered by 1652 is located in the southwestern part of Belarus, near the border with Poland, and includes smaller settlements and agricultural communities that rely on the administrative center of Ivanovo.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Context

Ivanovo (also known as Ivanava in Belarusian) serves as the administrative center of the Ivanovo District. The area code 1652 encompasses not only the town itself but also the surrounding villages and rural councils within the district. This is a typical example of a regional telephony zone where a single NDC aggregates all fixed-line subscribers in a defined geographic area. The Brest Region is one of the six administrative regions of Belarus, and its western location influences both domestic and international call routing.

Dialing Formats and Call Routing

To call a fixed-line subscriber in Ivanovo from within Belarus, you must use the national trunk prefix 8, followed by the area code and the subscriber's 5- or 6-digit local number. For example, a local number such as 2-34-56 would be dialed as 8 01652 2-34-56 from other regions of Belarus. Note that the leading '0' of the area code is dropped when dialing domestically after the trunk prefix.

For international callers, the Belarus country code is +375. Therefore, to call Ivanovo from abroad, you would dial +375 1652 2-34-56. The international format omits the trunk prefix '8' and the leading '0' of the area code. It is essential to use the full international dialing sequence: your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from North America, 00 from most European countries), followed by 375, then 1652, and the local number.

Local and Foreign Caller Instructions

• Local calls within Ivanovo: If you are calling from another fixed-line number within the same area code, you may only need to dial the local subscriber number, depending on the local network configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format.
• Calls from other Belarusian regions: Dial 8 01652 followed by the local number. The '8' is the national trunk prefix, and '01652' includes the area code with its leading '0'.
• Calls from outside Belarus: Dial your international exit code, then 375 1652, followed by the local number. Do not include any leading '0' or trunk prefix.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest available data, there is no overlay code for the Ivanovo area. The 1652 code is exclusively used for fixed-line services in this geographic region. Mobile and VoIP services in Belarus use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 29, 33, 44, 25) and are not tied to this area code. When dialing a Belarusian mobile number, you must use the appropriate mobile prefix, not 1652.

For businesses and residents in Ivanovo, the area code is an integral part of their public telephone number. When listing a number in international directories, it is crucial to present it in the E.164 format: +375 1652 XXX XXX, ensuring that the area code is clearly separated for proper international dialing.
