Overview of Brunei Area Code 52
Area code 52 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Temburong District of Brunei Darussalam. Temburong is an exclave of Brunei, separated from the main part of the country by the Malaysian state of Sarawak and the Brunei Bay. It is the least populous district, known for its pristine rainforests, the Ulu Temburong National Park, and the town of Bangar, which serves as the administrative center.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 52 code covers all fixed-line telephone services within the Temburong District, including the town of Bangar and surrounding villages. The district is under the jurisdiction of the Temburong District Office, and telecom services are regulated by the Authority for Info-communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI).
Dialing Formats
Brunei uses a closed numbering plan with a total number length of 7 digits for fixed-line numbers. The national significant number (NSN) consists of the area code (2 digits) followed by a 5-digit subscriber number. For example, a fixed-line number in Temburong might be 52X XXXX.
- Local dialing (within Brunei): Dial the full 7-digit number: 52X XXXX. No trunk prefix is used.
- International dialing (from abroad): Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then Brunei’s country code 673, followed by the 7-digit number: +673 52X XXXX.
Caller Instructions
For callers within Brunei, simply dial the 7-digit number. For callers outside Brunei, use the international format: +673 52X XXXX. Note that when calling from a mobile phone, the plus sign (+) is typically used instead of the international access code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for Temburong; the 52 code is exclusive to the district. However, as Brunei’s telecommunications network evolves, number portability may allow subscribers to retain their numbers when moving between operators, but geographic numbers remain tied to their original area code.
For accurate and up-to-date dialing information, always consult your service provider or the official AITI guidelines.
