Geographic Overview

This code falls under the broader telecom circle of Uttarakhand, which is administered by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).

Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in Pratapnagar from within India, subscribers must dial the STD code 01379 followed by the local subscriber number. The local numbers typically consist of 6 digits, making the complete national dialing format 0-1379-XXXXXX. For international callers, the country code for India (+91) replaces the leading trunk prefix '0', resulting in the international format +91 1379 XXXXXX. It is important to note that the NDC '1379' is used only for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in the region carry their own non-geographic prefixes starting with '9', '8', or '7'.
Coverage and Administration
The 1379 area code covers the Pratapnagar tehsil, which includes the town itself and the surrounding gram panchayats. The region is known for its scenic beauty and is close to the Tehri Dam, one of the tallest dams in the world. The telecom infrastructure in this hilly terrain is supported by both wireline and wireless networks, with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) being the primary fixed-line operator. Private operators may also provide fixed-line services in some pockets, but BSNL holds the majority of landline connections.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers within India: Dial 0-1379-XXXXXX from any landline or mobile. If you are calling from within the same STD code area, you may be able to dial only the 6-digit subscriber number, but it is safer to include the full STD code.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 91, then 1379, followed by the 6-digit local number. For example, from the US/Canada, dial 011-91-1379-XXXXXX.
As with all geographic codes in India, the 1379 area code is subject to the National Numbering Plan, and no overlay codes have been introduced in this region. Therefore, the 6-digit subscriber numbering remains stable.
