📍 Geographic Location of Dapoli, Maharashtra
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
Area code +91 2358 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Dapoli region in the state of Maharashtra, India. Dapoli is a coastal town in the Ratnagiri district, part of the Konkan division. This code serves the Dapoli taluka, including the town itself and surrounding villages such as Harnai, Anjarle, and Karde. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) Dapoli exchange, though private operators may also provide fixed-line services in the area.
Dialing Formats
For local callers within India, the number must be dialed in the national format: 0 2358 XXXX (where XXXX is the local subscriber number). For international callers, the format is +91 2358 XXXX. When dialing from a mobile phone within India, the same national format applies. It is important to note that the trunk prefix '0' is used for domestic calls, while the country code '+91' is used for international calls.
Primary Cities and Localities Served
The code covers Dapoli town and its surrounding areas, which are known for their agricultural produce (especially cashews and mangoes) and as a growing tourist destination. The region includes popular beaches like Murud and Karde, as well as the famous Kanakeshwar temple. The local subscriber numbers under this code typically have a length of 7 digits, making the total number length 10 digits when including the NDC (excluding the trunk prefix).
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, there is no overlay code for Dapoli; the 2358 code is exclusive to this geographic area. However, with the increasing adoption of VoIP and mobile services, callers should be aware that number portability allows fixed-line numbers to be moved to other operators, but the NDC remains tied to the geographic location. For callers from outside India, it is essential to replace the leading '0' with '+91' when dialing the international format. For example, to call a number in Dapoli from the United States, you would dial 011 91 2358 XXXX.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Dapoli, if the number is within the same exchange, it may be possible to dial only the subscriber number, but it is safer to use the full national format. For callers from other parts of India, always dial the trunk prefix '0' before the area code. For international callers, always use the country code '+91' and drop the trunk prefix. This ensures proper routing through the PSTN and avoids misdialing.
