Area Code 2672 – Cofradía

Geographic Overview

The area code 2672 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Cofradía, located in the department of Cortés in northwestern Honduras. Cofradía serves as a suburban community within the metropolitan influence of San Pedro Sula, the country's second-largest city and industrial hub. The code covers the urban and peri-urban zones of Cofradía, including adjacent residential and commercial areas. Administratively, the municipality of Cofradía is part of the Valle de Sula region, which concentrates a significant portion of Honduras' maquiladora and logistics activities.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Cofradía from within Honduras, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. The national format is:

• 0 2672 XXXX (for domestic calls)

For international callers, the Honduras country code +504 is used, and the trunk prefix is omitted. The international format is:

• +504 2672 XXXX

Local numbers in this area consist of four digits after the area code, making the total subscriber number length eight digits when including the NDC. Note that Honduras operates a closed numbering plan; therefore, all digits must be dialed even for local calls within the same area code.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within Cofradía or elsewhere in Honduras should always dial the full national number, including the trunk prefix '0' and the area code, as there are no local abbreviated dialing procedures. International callers should replace the leading '0' with the +504 country code. For example, to call a Cofradía landline from abroad, dial +504 2672 XXXX. Ensure you have the correct four-digit subscriber line; missing digits will result in a failed call.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 2672 area. The Honduran telecom regulator (CONATEL) has not introduced an overlay for this region, so the code remains exclusive to Cofradía. However, number portability is available for fixed lines, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when changing operators within the same geographic area. This may affect the actual carrier but not the geographic assignment of the code.

As part of the PSTN, calls to 2672 numbers are routed over traditional copper or fiber networks, though many operators now offer VoIP-based fixed services. The code is strictly geographic, meaning it does not support mobile or nomadic use. For accurate billing and routing, always verify the subscriber number length and use the correct international prefix when dialing from abroad.
