📍 Geographic Location of Mtskheta
Geographic Overview
The area code 373 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Mtskheta region of Georgia. Mtskheta, one of the oldest cities in the country and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serves as the administrative center of the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. The code covers the city of Mtskheta itself and the surrounding municipalities, including the districts of Mtskheta and Tianeti, as well as parts of the Dusheti and Kazbegi areas. This region is strategically located near the capital, Tbilisi, and is an important cultural and economic hub.
Dialing Formats
When calling a landline number in the Mtskheta area from within Georgia, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 373 and the local subscriber number (which typically consists of 5 to 6 digits). For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 373 XX XX XX.
For international callers, the Georgian country code +995 is used, followed by the area code 373 and the subscriber number, without the leading trunk prefix. Thus, the international format is +995 373 XX XX XX. It is important to note that the trunk prefix '0' is only used for domestic calls and must be omitted when dialing from abroad.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within the Mtskheta area can often dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the specific local dialing plan. However, for calls from other regions of Georgia, the full national format (0 373 ...) is required.
International callers should always use the international access code of their country (e.g., 00 or +), followed by the Georgian country code 995, the area code 373, and the subscriber number. For example, a call from the United States to a Mtskheta number would be dialed as 011 995 373 XX XX XX.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for the Mtskheta geographic area. The 373 code remains exclusively assigned to this region. Subscribers in Mtskheta may have the option to keep their numbers when moving to a different operator, as number portability is implemented in Georgia. However, geographic numbers are generally tied to the physical location of the line, and moving outside the area may require a number change.
For businesses and residents, it is essential to use the correct dialing format to ensure successful call completion. Always verify the current numbering plan with your telecom provider, as local dialing procedures can change.
