📍 Geographic Location of San Pedro Sula, Cortés
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The area code 2558 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the metropolitan region of San Pedro Sula, the capital of the Cortés department in Honduras. This code covers the city itself and its immediate surrounding urban and suburban areas, which constitute the primary industrial and commercial hub of the country. San Pedro Sula is the second-largest city in Honduras and a major center for manufacturing, logistics, and financial services.
Dialing Formats and Usage
When dialing a number within the 2558 area code locally, callers must use the full eight-digit subscriber number, as Honduras uses a closed numbering plan. For example, a local call would be placed by dialing 2558-XXXX (where XXXX is the four-digit subscriber line). For international callers, the format is +504 2558-XXXX, where +504 is the country calling code for Honduras. It is important to note that the trunk prefix '0' is not used in international dialing; the plus sign (+) represents the international access code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for San Pedro Sula; the 2558 code is exclusive to this geographic region. However, due to increasing demand for telecommunication services, the regulatory body (CONATEL) may introduce additional NDCs in the future. Subscribers within this area may have the option to retain their numbers when switching service providers, as number portability is implemented in Honduras.
