Dialing Formats
Within Georgia, calls to Zugdidi numbers require the national trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code '415' and the subscriber number. The national significant number (NSN) for fixed-line subscribers in Zugdidi is eight digits long, comprising the area code '415' and a five-digit local subscriber number. For example, a local number such as 12345 would be dialed as 0 415 12345 from anywhere within Georgia.
Callers from outside Georgia must use the international access prefix (typically '00' or '+'), followed by the country code '995', the area code '415' (without the leading '0'), and the five-digit subscriber number. Thus, the international format for the same example would be +995 415 12345.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Zugdidi): Depending on the operator's network configuration, local calls may be dialed using only the five-digit subscriber number, or the full national format (0 415 12345) may be required. It is advisable to use the full national format to ensure connectivity across all networks.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, no overlay code has been introduced for the Zugdidi area. The 415 area code remains dedicated to the geographic region, and number portability within Georgia allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, though geographic portability is limited to numbers within the same area code.
Zugdidi's fixed-line infrastructure is predominantly served by traditional PSTN networks, with increasing VoIP adoption for business communications. However, the geographic nature of the code means that tariffs and routing are based on the physical location of the exchange, not the caller's location.
