Administrative and Regulatory Notes
The allocation and management of geographic area codes in India are overseen by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) under the National Numbering Plan. The 2623 code is part of the numbering plan for the Gujarat circle. As of the latest updates, no overlay code has been introduced for Mandvi, meaning that 02623 remains the sole geographic code for this region. However, due to the increasing demand for telecommunication services, the DoT may introduce additional digits or overlay codes in the future. Subscribers in Mandvi can also retain their numbers when switching operators within the same geographic area, thanks to mobile number portability (MNP) for mobile services, though fixed-line numbers may have different portability rules.
For accurate billing and routing, it is essential to use the correct area code. Misdialing the area code can result in calls being routed to a different region within Gujarat or India, leading to connection failures or unintended charges.
