📍 Geographic Location of Oni

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +995 473 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Oni and its surrounding district in the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region of northwestern Georgia. This mountainous area, nestled in the Greater Caucasus range, includes the administrative center of Oni and several smaller settlements. The code is managed by the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) and is allocated for fixed-line PSTN services. It is important to note that this is a geographic code, meaning it is tied to a specific physical location, unlike mobile or non-geographic codes.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Georgia, the local dialing format is 473 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber number). When calling from abroad, the international format is +995 473 XXX XXX or 00 995 473 XXX XXX depending on the international prefix used in the caller's country. For example, a subscriber in Oni with the number 123 456 would be dialed as 473 123 456 domestically and +995 473 123 456 internationally. It is crucial to omit the leading trunk prefix '0' when dialing from outside Georgia, as the country code +995 replaces it. No overlay codes have been introduced for this area, so the 473 code remains unique to the Oni region.

Technical and Regulatory Considerations

As a geographic code, number portability is available within Georgia, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching between fixed-line operators, provided they remain within the same geographic area. The numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation, and the total length of a Georgian national significant number (NSN) is 9 digits, including the NDC. For the Oni area, this means the NDC (473) is followed by a six-digit subscriber number. Calls to this code are typically routed over the PSTN, but may also be carried over VoIP networks; however, the geographic association remains for emergency services and billing purposes. When dialing from a mobile phone within Georgia, the same domestic format applies, but international callers should always use the +995 country code.
