Area Code 2769 – Guaimaca

Geographic Overview

Area code 2769 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the municipality of Guaimaca, located in the department of Francisco Morazán in Honduras. Guaimaca serves as the administrative and commercial hub for the surrounding agricultural region, situated approximately 40 kilometers northeast of the national capital, Tegucigalpa. The code covers the urban area of Guaimaca and its immediate rural localities, including communities such as El Pedernal, Las Mesas, and El Junco.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Honduras, the national dialing format is 2769-XXXX, where XXXX represents the local subscriber number. The complete national number is eight digits long, and the leading trunk prefix '0' is not required for domestic calls from landlines or mobile phones. For international callers, the full E.164 format is +504 2769 XXXX. The country code for Honduras is +504, and there is no trunk prefix used when dialing from abroad. When calling from a foreign country, you must replace the '+' with your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US or Canada, 00 from most European countries).

Regulatory and Technical Notes

Honduras's numbering plan is administered by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL). Geographic area codes are assigned based on the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) infrastructure. However, due to number portability and the increasing adoption of VoIP services, a number with the 2769 prefix may not always be physically located in Guaimaca. Callers should be aware that rates for calls to this code are typically based on the destination's geographic classification, but VoIP providers may offer alternative pricing. As of the latest regulatory updates, no overlay codes have been introduced for Guaimaca; the 2769 code remains the sole geographic identifier for this area.

Practical Guidance

• Local callers: Dial 2769-XXXX directly from any fixed or mobile line in Honduras.
• International callers: Dial your international exit code, then 504 (Honduras country code), then 2769, followed by the four-digit subscriber number. Example: +504 2769 1234.
• Emergency services: For emergencies in Guaimaca, dial the national emergency numbers (911 or 199) rather than the geographic code.

When storing contacts, always use the international format (+504 2769 XXXX) to ensure dialing compatibility across different networks and countries.
