Area Code 2436 – La Masica

Geographic Overview

The +504 2436 numbering block is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the municipality of La Masica, located in the Atlántida Department of Honduras. This area is part of the northern Caribbean coastal region, known for its agricultural production and proximity to major coastal hubs. The municipality serves as a local administrative and commercial center, with its telephone coverage extending to surrounding rural communities and hamlets within the municipal boundaries.

Dialing Formats and Usage

When dialing a number within the +504 2436 prefix, the complete national significant number (NSN) consists of eight digits: the four-digit area code (2436) followed by a four-digit subscriber number. For example, a typical local number would be 2436-XXXX.

• Local calls (within La Masica): Dial the eight-digit number directly, e.g., 2436-5678.
• National calls (from other areas of Honduras): Dial the eight-digit number directly, e.g., 2436-5678. No trunk prefix is required.
• International calls (from abroad): Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then the Honduras country code 504, followed by the eight-digit number, e.g., +504 2436-5678.

Honduras operates a single-country calling code (+504) without internal trunk prefixes, and all numbers are dialed in the same format nationwide. The country has implemented an eight-digit numbering plan since 2009, and no overlay codes have been introduced for this geographic area.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

The allocation of the 2436 prefix is managed by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL), Honduras's telecommunications regulator. Geographic numbers are typically assigned to fixed-line services, including PSTN and fixed wireless access. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, so a number with this prefix may occasionally be served by a different operator. For international callers, it is important to note that calls to this prefix are billed as landline rates, which are generally lower than mobile rates. Emergency services in Honduras are reached via dedicated short codes (e.g., 911) and are not affected by the geographic prefix.

For businesses or individuals in La Masica, having a local geographic number enhances trust and accessibility for regional customers. When contacting local services, always verify the complete eight-digit number to ensure accurate dialing.
