Area Code 2770 – Comayagua

Geographic Overview

The +504 2770 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Comayagua department in central Honduras. This area is historically significant, serving as the former capital of the country and now functioning as a key commercial and agricultural hub. The code covers the city of Comayagua and its surrounding municipalities, including adjacent rural communities within the department. As part of the national numbering plan, this prefix is used for fixed-line PSTN services, and it is administered under the regulatory oversight of the Honduran telecommunications authority (CONATEL).

Dialing Formats

When calling a number with the 2770 prefix, the format differs based on the caller's location:

• Local calls within Honduras: Dial only the eight-digit subscriber number, which includes the NDC. For example, if the local number is 2770-1234, a caller within Honduras would dial 2770-1234.
• International calls from abroad: Dial the international access prefix (00 or +), followed by the country code 504, and then the eight-digit number. For instance, to reach the same number from the United States, you would dial +504 2770-1234.

It is important to note that Honduras uses a closed numbering plan, meaning the country code and NDC are always included in the national significant number. There is no trunk prefix (such as '0') used for domestic calls.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 2770 prefix is allocated to the municipality of Comayagua, which is the capital of the Comayagua department. This area is located in the central highlands of Honduras, approximately 80 kilometers northwest of Tegucigalpa. The prefix serves both residential and business fixed lines within this jurisdiction. As a geographic code, it is tied to a specific physical location, and calls are routed through the traditional PSTN infrastructure. However, with the advent of VoIP and number portability, some numbers may be served over IP networks, but the geographic association remains for regulatory and emergency services purposes.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Honduras, simply dial the eight-digit number. For international callers, always include the +504 country code and the full eight-digit number. Be aware that mobile numbers in Honduras also use the +504 country code but have different prefixes (e.g., 3xxx, 8xxx, 9xxx). The 2770 prefix is exclusively for fixed-line services in Comayagua, so it should not be used for mobile calls. If you are unsure about a number, verify the prefix to ensure it is indeed a fixed line in the Comayagua area.
