Geographic Allocation and Numbering
As a geographic code, 363 is allocated exclusively to fixed-line services in the Tsalka district. Subscriber numbers are assigned to residential and business landlines, as well as to fixed wireless terminals that operate as local loop services. The code is managed by the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) and is used by the incumbent operator and alternative fixed-line providers. There are no known overlay codes for Tsalka; the area is served solely by the 363 NDC.
Calling Instructions
Local callers within Tsalka may be able to dial the subscriber number directly without the area code if they are on the same local exchange, but this is not guaranteed due to modernized networks. For calls from other Georgian regions, dial 0 363 followed by the subscriber number. For callers from abroad, always use +995 363 followed by the subscriber number, omitting the leading 0. For example, a Tsalka landline number might be dialed as +995 363 123 456 from outside Georgia.
Practical Considerations
When calling Tsalka from a mobile phone in Georgia, the call is treated as a national call and may incur standard rates depending on the caller's plan. International callers should check with their service provider for applicable charges. As with all Georgian geographic numbers, the 363 code is not portable to other regions; number portability applies only within the same service category and geographic area. For emergency services, callers should use the national emergency numbers (112) rather than the area code.
