Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Volozhin, the dialing format depends on the caller's location:
- Local calls within Volozhin (same area code): Dial only the local subscriber number. For example, if the local number is 3-45-67, simply dial 3-45-67.
- National calls from other regions of Belarus: Dial the trunk prefix 8, then the area code 01772, followed by the local number. For instance, to call 3-45-67 from Minsk, dial 8-01772-3-45-67. Note that the trunk prefix is used for domestic long-distance calls.
- International calls from abroad: Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), then the Belarus country code 375, then the area code without the leading trunk prefix: 1772, followed by the local number. For example, from the United States, dial 011-375-1772-3-45-67.

Important Notes for Callers
For international callers, it is essential to omit the initial '0' of the area code when dialing from abroad. The area code 1772 is part of the closed numbering plan of Belarus, where the full national significant number includes the area code and the subscriber number. There are no overlay codes in this region, so the area code remains unique for Volozhin. Fixed-line numbers in Belarus are not portable to mobile networks, so a number with this prefix will always be associated with a physical line in the Volozhin area.
