Overview of Area Code 2554 (Monte Prieto, Honduras)
Area code 2554 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned within the Honduran national numbering plan, governed by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL). It serves the locality of Monte Prieto, a community situated in the department of Yoro, in the central-northern region of Honduras. This code is part of the fixed-line PSTN network, providing traditional landline services to residential and business subscribers in the area.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Context
Monte Prieto is a small administrative entity within the municipality of Victoria, Yoro department. The 2554 prefix covers the town itself and its immediate rural surroundings, including nearby hamlets and agricultural zones. The region is characterized by mountainous terrain and a primarily agrarian economy. The code is allocated exclusively for fixed-line services; it is not used for mobile or nomadic VoIP services.
Dialing Formats and Call Routing
For callers within Honduras, the national dialing format for a Monte Prieto number is 2554-XXXX, where XXXX represents the four-digit subscriber number. The complete national number is eight digits, and no trunk prefix (such as '0') is required for domestic calls. For international callers, the full E.164 format is +504 2554-XXXX, where +504 is the country calling code for Honduras. When dialing from abroad, the leading '1' of the NDC is not dropped; the entire NDC is included after the country code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest CONATEL numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for the Monte Prieto area. The 2554 prefix is unique to this geographic region, and no other NDC shares the same coverage area. However, subscribers may have the option to retain their numbers when switching between fixed-line operators, subject to local number portability regulations. In such cases, the geographic significance of the prefix may not strictly reflect the physical location of the subscriber, but the code remains associated with the Monte Prieto rate center for routing purposes.
Caller Instructions
Local callers (within Honduras) can dial the eight-digit number directly (e.g., 2554-5678). International callers should dial the international access prefix of their country (e.g., 00 or +), followed by the Honduras country code (504), and then the eight-digit number (e.g., +504 2554-5678). No additional area code or trunk prefix is needed.
