Area Code 2514 – San Pedro Sula, Cortés

Geographic Context and Coverage

The area code 2514 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of San Pedro Sula, located in the department of Cortés, Honduras. San Pedro Sula is the country's second-largest city and a major industrial and commercial hub. The code 2514 serves the urban and suburban areas of San Pedro Sula, including neighborhoods such as Barrio Guamilito, Barrio Los Andes, and the surrounding metropolitan zone. As part of the national numbering plan of Honduras, which follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations, the code 2514 is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within this region.

Dialing Formats

For local callers within Honduras, the number is dialed as a single national significant number (NSN) consisting of the area code and the subscriber number. The complete national number for a fixed line in San Pedro Sula with the prefix 2514 is 2514-XXXX, where XXXX represents the four-digit local extension. When dialing from a mobile phone within Honduras, the same format applies.

For international callers, the country calling code for Honduras is +504. Therefore, to call a fixed line in San Pedro Sula from abroad, you would dial +504 2514-XXXX. No trunk prefix (like a '0') is used when dialing internationally; the country code is followed directly by the NDC and subscriber number.

Overlays and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there are no overlay codes for the San Pedro Sula area; the 2514 prefix is dedicated to geographic fixed-line services. However, as with many Latin American countries, the telecommunications market in Honduras has seen growth in VoIP and mobile services, but the 2514 code remains associated with traditional fixed-line infrastructure. Subscriber numbers under this prefix are typically assigned by the incumbent operator, Hondutel, as well as private fixed-line operators that have been granted licenses.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Honduras, simply dial the 8-digit number (2514-XXXX). For international callers, always include the country code +504 and omit any leading zero that might appear in local directories. For example, if a local number is listed as 2514-1234, international callers should dial +504 2514-1234. Ensure that you have the correct international access code for your country (e.g., 011 from the US and Canada) before dialing the country code.
