Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

The NSN comprises the four-digit area code (2429) and a four-digit subscriber line number. When dialing from abroad, replace the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +) with the appropriate code for your country, then dial 504 2429 XXXX.
For domestic callers within Honduras, the entire eight-digit number is dialed without any trunk prefix, as Honduras uses a closed dialing plan. Thus, to call a subscriber in San Alejo or Mesapa from another part of the country, simply dial 2429 XXXX. Local calls within the same area code also require the full eight-digit number; there is no abbreviated local dialing.
Overlay Considerations and Numbering Plan
Honduras maintains a single national numbering plan under the +504 country code, with no overlay area codes within geographic regions. The 2429 prefix is unique to the San Alejo/Mesapa exchange, and no overlay codes are currently planned. The country's telecommunications regulator, CONATEL, administers number allocation to ensure sufficient capacity for fixed-line growth. Subscribers in this region may have access to both traditional PSTN lines and VoIP-based fixed services, but the geographic nature of the code remains tied to the physical location of the line.
