📍 Geographic Location of Korhogo
Geographic Overview
The +225 2536 numbering range is a geographic allocation within the Côte d’Ivoire national numbering plan, specifically assigned to the northern city of Korhogo and its surrounding administrative areas. Korhogo serves as the capital of the Poro region and is a major economic and cultural hub in the northern part of the country. This prefix is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, connecting businesses, government institutions, and residential subscribers within the Korhogo exchange area.
Dialing Formats
When placing a call to a number using the +225 2536 prefix, the standard international format is +225 25 36 XX XX (or +225 2536XXXX, depending on the exact local number length). For callers within Côte d’Ivoire, the national trunk prefix '0' is used before the area code, so the number is dialed as 0 25 36 XX XX. For example, a local caller in Abidjan would dial 025 36 XX XX, while an international caller from abroad would dial +225 25 36 XX XX.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 2536 prefix is part of the larger 25 geographic area code block, which covers the northern region of Côte d’Ivoire. Specifically, it serves Korhogo and nearby localities such as Karakoro, Napié, and Sinématiali. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the Poro District. This fixed-line prefix is distinct from mobile prefixes (e.g., 01, 05, 07) and is not portable to mobile networks; it remains tied to the physical location of the line.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Côte d’Ivoire: Dial the full national number including the trunk prefix '0' and the area code. For example, to call a Korhogo fixed line, dial 025 36 XX XX (or 02536XXXX). For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by Côte d’Ivoire’s country code 225, then the area code without the leading '0' and the subscriber number: +225 25 36 XX XX. Ensure you replace 'XX XX' with the actual subscriber digits.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T recommendations, there is no overlay code for Korhogo; the 2536 prefix is exclusively used for fixed-line services in that area. However, due to the growth of VoIP and mobile services, some numbers may be routed over IP networks, but the geographic significance remains for emergency services and number portability purposes. Always verify the complete number length (typically 10 digits including the area code) to avoid dialing errors.
