Regulatory and Technical Notes
The Greek numbering plan is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT). Geographic area codes are allocated to fixed-line operators, and since 2003, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers. However, the geographic significance of the code remains tied to the physical location of the line. The code 2642 is not an overlay; it is the sole area code for Amfilochia and its environs. As with all Greek geographic numbers, calls are typically charged at standard national rates when dialed from within Greece, while international rates apply from abroad.
