Overview of Honduras Area Code 2201
Area code 2201 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Polo Paz zone within the Republic of Honduras. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL), following ITU-T E.164 recommendations. The geographic area covered by 2201 is located in the central-western region of the country, primarily serving the municipality of Polo Paz and its surrounding rural communities. The zone is characterized by a mix of residential areas, small commercial establishments, and agricultural activities.
For callers dialing from within Honduras, the local format requires dialing the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, to reach a landline in Polo Paz, you would dial: 0-2201-XXXX. The subscriber number typically consists of four to five digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length eight digits, excluding the trunk prefix.
International callers must use the full international format: the international access prefix (typically + or 00), followed by the Honduras country code 504, then the area code and subscriber number. For instance, a call from the United States or Europe would be dialed as +504-2201-XXXX. It is important to note that when dialing from abroad, the trunk prefix 0 is omitted.
Dialing Instructions and Overlay Considerations
Honduras has not implemented overlay area codes for geographic regions; each geographic area retains a unique NDC. Therefore, callers within the same area code can dial the subscriber number directly without the area code for local calls, depending on the specific local dialing plan. However, for calls from other regions of Honduras, the full national format (including trunk prefix and area code) is required.
For international callers, it is essential to use the correct exit code from their country (e.g., 011 from North America) followed by 504 and the area code. For example, from the US, dial 011-504-2201-XXXX. From the UK, dial 00-504-2201-XXXX. Always verify the subscriber number length, as some numbers may have additional digits.
Geographic numbers in Honduras are primarily used for fixed-line PSTN services, though some may be routed over VoIP infrastructure. However, the numbering plan does not distinguish between traditional and VoIP-based geographic numbers; the dialing format remains the same.
