📍 Geographic Location of Wai, Maharashtra
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The +91 2167 country and area code combination corresponds to the geographic numbering area of Wai, a municipal council town in Satara district, Maharashtra, India. This code is part of the National Numbering Plan administered by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India, under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering framework. The 2167 area code serves the Wai telephone exchange and its surrounding rural and semi-urban regions, including nearby villages and towns within the administrative jurisdiction of Wai taluka. Historically, this area was served by landline PSTN connections, though modern fixed-line services may also be delivered over VoIP infrastructure while retaining the same geographic number.
Primary Cities and Local Dialing
The primary city served is Wai, known for its proximity to the Krishna River and the Panchgani hill station. Other localities within the exchange area may include Menawali, Dhom, and parts of the Satara district. For local calls within the Wai area, callers can dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, typically a 7-digit number. However, for calls originating from outside the 2167 area but still within India, the full national format must be used: 0 2167 XXXX XXX (where X represents the local subscriber number). For international callers, the format is +91 2167 XXXX XXX.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest DoT updates, the 2167 area code does not have an overlay code; it is the sole geographic code for this region. Subscriber numbers within this area are typically 7 digits long, making the total national significant number (NSN) 10 digits when including the area code. The DoT has mandated 10-digit numbering for all fixed-line and mobile services in India, and this area conforms to that standard. No recent changes have been announced that would affect the dialing plan for this region.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Wai): Dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly.
- National callers (outside Wai): Dial 0 2167 followed by the subscriber number.
- International callers: Dial +91 2167 followed by the subscriber number.
For example, a local number such as 2223456 would be dialed as 02223456 from within India (using the 0 prefix) or +91 2167 2223456 from abroad. This code is used exclusively for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in India are assigned separate non-geographic prefixes beginning with 6, 7, 8, or 9.
