Area Code 2694 – Kheda, Gujarat

Overview of Area Code +91 2694

Area code 2694 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Kheda district in the state of Gujarat, India. It is part of the Indian numbering plan under ITU-T E.164, where the country calling code for India is +91. When dialing from abroad, the full international format is +91 2694 XXXXXX. Within India, callers must prefix 0 before the area code when dialing from a different STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialing) area, resulting in 0-2694-XXXXXX. Local calls within the same STD area can be made using only the six-digit subscriber number.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 2694 area code covers the Kheda district, which is part of the Charotar region in central Gujarat. The district headquarters is the town of Nadiad, which is the primary city served by this code. Other important towns and municipalities within the coverage area include Kheda, Kapadvanj, Mehmedabad, Matar, and Mahudha. The region is known for its agricultural productivity and is administratively divided into several talukas. The telecom infrastructure is managed by both public and private operators, providing PSTN, VoIP, and mobile services.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within India, the dialing format is:

• Local calls (within the same STD area): Dial the 6-digit subscriber number directly, e.g., XXXXXX.
• STD calls (from other Indian cities): Dial 0-2694-XXXXXX.

For international callers, the format is:

• Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 or +), then 91 (India's country code), then 2694, followed by the 6-digit local number. Example: +91 2694 123456.

Note that when dialing from a mobile phone in India, the leading 0 is often omitted, but it is always safe to include it for landline numbers.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest telecom regulatory updates, there is no overlay code for the Kheda area. The 2694 code is exclusively used for landline and fixed-line services. However, mobile numbers in the region use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 98xxx, 99xxx) and are not tied to this area code. Subscriber numbers in the 2694 area are typically 6 digits long, making the total length of a local number 10 digits when including the area code and the leading trunk prefix (0).

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Kheda, simply dial the 6-digit number. For callers from other parts of India, always include the trunk prefix 0 followed by 2694. International callers should replace the trunk prefix with +91. Be aware that some VoIP services may require the full international format even for domestic calls, so always check your service provider's dialing rules.
