Area Code 2232 – Miraflores

Overview of Area Code 2232

Area code 2232 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Miraflores district within the Francisco Morazán department of Honduras. It forms part of the capital city's metropolitan numbering plan, which is administered under the country code +504 by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL). The prefix serves fixed-line PSTN subscribers in the southwestern sector of Tegucigalpa, including residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and institutional facilities.

Geographic Coverage and Dialing Format

The 2232 prefix is allocated exclusively to the Miraflores zone, which lies within the urban perimeter of Tegucigalpa, the national capital. This area is characterized by a mix of mid-density housing, local businesses, and government offices. As with all Honduran fixed-line numbers, the subscriber number is eight digits long, and the prefix 2232 constitutes the first four digits. The complete national significant number (NSN) is therefore eight digits, with no trunk prefix required for domestic calls.

• Local dialing (within Honduras): Dial the full 8-digit number, e.g., 2232-XXXX.
• International dialing (from abroad): Dial +504 2232-XXXX (or the exit code of the originating country followed by 504 and the number).

Caller Instructions

For callers within Honduras, no area code is dialed separately; the entire 8-digit number is dialed directly. For international callers, the plus sign (+) represents the international access code, followed by the country code 504 and the subscriber number. For example, to reach a Miraflores landline, an international caller would dial +504 2232-XXXX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Honduras does not use area codes in the traditional sense; instead, the country employs a single national destination code (504) with geographic prefixes. The 2232 prefix is one of several assigned to the Tegucigalpa metropolitan area. There are no overlay codes affecting this prefix, and number portability for fixed lines is limited. Subscribers in Miraflores may have retained their 2232 numbers even if they have migrated to VoIP or other fixed-wireless services, but the prefix remains geographically associated with the Miraflores exchange.

Practical Usage

Businesses and residents in Miraflores rely on this prefix for daily communications. When listing contact details, it is standard practice to display the number as 2232-XXXX for local audiences and as +504 2232-XXXX for international clients. Understanding the geographic nature of this prefix helps in identifying the location of a caller or recipient, which is useful for logistics, service areas, and emergency response.
