Area Code 410 – Mestia

Geographic Overview

The +995 410 dialing code is assigned to the Mestia geographic numbering area within the Republic of Georgia. Mestia is the administrative center of the Mestia Municipality in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, located in the northwestern part of the country at an elevation of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level. This area code covers the town of Mestia itself and the surrounding communities in the upper Enguri River valley, including the Ushguli community, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region is known for its distinctive Svanetian culture, medieval stone towers, and as a growing hub for mountain tourism and trekking.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Mestia from within Georgia, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 410, and then the local subscriber number. The national significant number (NSN) for Mestia numbers is nine digits in length, comprising the area code (410) and a six-digit local number. For example, a local number such as 123456 would be dialed as 0 410 123456 from any other location within Georgia.

For international callers, the Georgian country code +995 replaces the trunk prefix, and the area code is dialed without the leading zero. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +995 410 123456 from abroad. It is important to note that when dialing from outside Georgia, the international access code of the originating country (e.g., 00, 011) must be used before the country code.

Local and International Calling Instructions

• Local calls within Mestia: In many cases, local calls may be dialed using only the six-digit subscriber number, but for clarity and consistency, the full national format (0 410 123456) is recommended.
• Calls from other Georgian regions: Dial the trunk prefix 0, then 410, followed by the subscriber number.
• Calls from abroad: Dial your country's international exit code, then 995, then 410, then the six-digit subscriber number. Do not include the leading '0'.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

The Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) administers the national numbering plan in accordance with ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Geographic area codes such as 410 are allocated for fixed-line services, and numbers are typically assigned to the incumbent operator, but since 2011, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers. As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes in Mestia; the 410 code remains the sole geographic code for the area. However, with the expansion of fiber-optic and VoIP services, some numbers may be routed over IP networks, but the geographic significance of the code remains unchanged for billing and emergency services purposes.
