Area Code 2225 – La Granja

Overview of Area Code 2225 in Honduras

Area code 2225 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the district of La Granja, located in the Francisco Morazán department of Honduras. This code is part of the national numbering plan under the country calling code +504, administered by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL). The 2225 prefix serves fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services within a defined geographic area, primarily covering the urban and suburban zones of La Granja and its immediate surroundings.

Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

La Granja is a locality within the municipality of the Central District (Distrito Central), which includes the capital city, Tegucigalpa, and its neighboring areas. The 2225 code is allocated to the northern sector of the capital region, encompassing residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and government institutions. Subscribers with numbers formatted as +504 2225 XXXX are geographically tied to this area, meaning that the physical location of the line determines the assigned code. This is typical for fixed-line services, where the NDC reflects the caller's or callee's geographic location.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For local callers within Honduras, dialing a number in the 2225 area requires only the eight-digit subscriber number: 2225 XXXX. No trunk prefix (such as '0') is used in Honduras's national numbering plan. For international callers, the full international format must be used: +504 2225 XXXX. The plus sign represents the international access code, which varies by country (e.g., 011 from the United States, 00 from most European countries). When dialing from a mobile phone, the plus sign is typically used, followed by the country code and the national significant number.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest CONATEL regulations, there are no overlay codes for the 2225 area; the code is exclusively assigned to La Granja. However, due to the growth of telecommunications services, number portability is available in Honduras, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching between fixed-line operators, provided the service remains within the same geographic area. This means that a number with the 2225 prefix may be served by different carriers, but the geographic association remains unchanged.

Practical Examples

To illustrate, a typical fixed-line number in La Granja might be +504 2225 1234. A caller from abroad would dial +504 2225 1234. A caller from another part of Honduras, such as San Pedro Sula, would simply dial 2225 1234. Understanding these formats ensures seamless connectivity for both local and international calls.
