Overview of Area Code 2779 (Santa Lucía, Honduras)

Area code 2779 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the municipality of Santa Lucía, located in the department of Francisco Morazán, Honduras. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL) under the ITU-T E.164 international standard.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Santa Lucía from within Honduras, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, to reach a local number such as 123-4567, you would dial:

• National format: 0 2779 123-4567
• International format: +504 2779 123-4567 (when calling from abroad, omit the leading 0)

All fixed-line numbers in Honduras have a uniform length of 8 digits (including the area code) when dialed nationally after the trunk prefix, and 8 digits when dialed internationally after the country code +504.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 2779 code is allocated exclusively to the municipality of Santa Lucía, which is part of the Central District of Francisco Morazán. It is a geographic code, meaning that the number is tied to a physical location. Calls to 2779 are routed over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to the local exchange serving Santa Lucía. The code is not portable outside the geographic area, so subscribers retain the 2779 prefix only if they remain within the municipal service area.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Honduras: To call a Santa Lucía number, dial 0 (trunk prefix) followed by 2779 and the 7-digit subscriber number. For callers from other countries: Dial the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or +), then the Honduras country code 504, followed by 2779 and the subscriber number. Do not include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing internationally.

As with all fixed-line numbers in Honduras, calls to 2779 are typically charged at local or national rates depending on the caller's location and service plan. There are no overlay codes in this area; 2779 is the sole area code for Santa Lucía.
