The geographic area covered by 2431 is situated on the northern Caribbean coast of Honduras, within the Atlántida department, which includes other notable municipalities such as La Ceiba and Tela.

For callers within Honduras, dialing a local number in San Francisco requires the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The national format is: 0 2431 XXX XXX (where X represents the 7-digit subscriber number). For example, a local call would be placed as 0 2431 123 4567.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 2431 area code serves the municipality of San Francisco and its surrounding communities within the Atlántida department. This region is part of the country's fixed-line PSTN infrastructure, which is primarily operated by Hondutel (the state-owned telecommunications company) and private carriers. The area code is geographically tied to the local exchange, meaning that calls to 2431 numbers are routed to physical lines in that specific region.
