Numbering Plan Considerations

However, subscribers should always verify the current dialing procedures with their service provider, as numbering plan changes can occur.

Fixed-line numbers in this code are primarily used for PSTN services, though some may be migrated to VoIP infrastructure. Callers should be aware that calls to +995 491 are typically charged at standard international rates when dialed from abroad, and domestic long-distance rates apply when dialed from other Georgian regions.
