- International calls (from abroad): Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00, 011), then 995 365 XXX XXX. Do not include the domestic trunk prefix '0'.
- Local calls (within Akhaltsikhe): In most cases, local calls can be made using the 7-digit subscriber number (XXX XXX) without the area code, but this depends on the operator's dialing plan. For clarity, always use the full national format when calling from a mobile phone.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for Akhaltsikhe; the 365 code is exclusive to this geographic area. However, number portability is available in Georgia, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, though geographic numbers are typically tied to the location of the line. For VoIP services, the geographic code may be used if the service is registered to a physical address in the area, but many VoIP providers assign non-geographic numbers.
