Area Code 2746 – Radhanpur, Gujarat

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +91 2746 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Radhanpur region in the state of Gujarat, India. Radhanpur is a municipality and taluka headquarters in the Banaskantha district, located in the northern part of Gujarat near the border with Rajasthan. The code serves the town of Radhanpur and its surrounding rural areas, including villages within the Radhanpur taluka. The region is known for its agricultural economy, particularly cotton and castor cultivation, and is part of the Patan-Banaskantha belt.

Dialing Formats and Numbering Structure

In the Indian numbering plan, the full international dialing format for a fixed-line number in Radhanpur is +91 2746 XXXXXXX, where +91 is the country calling code for India, 2746 is the area code (NDC), and the subscriber number is typically 7 digits long. This results in a total of 10 digits after the country code, consistent with India's closed numbering plan. For domestic calls placed from within India but outside the Radhanpur area, callers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number: 0 2746 XXXXXXX. For local calls within the same area code, subscribers can often dial just the 7-digit subscriber number, though this may depend on the specific telecom operator's local dialing rules.

Overlay and Numbering Changes

As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for the 2746 area. The code remains exclusive to the Radhanpur region. However, telecom authorities in India have periodically introduced mobile number portability (MNP) and fixed-line portability in some circles, but fixed-line numbers generally remain tied to their geographic area. No major renumbering has been announced for this code.

Caller Instructions

• International callers: Dial your country's international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then 91, then 2746, followed by the 7-digit subscriber number. Example: +91 2746 1234567.
• Domestic callers from other Indian cities: Dial 0 2746 1234567.
• Local callers within Radhanpur: If your operator supports it, you may dial the 7-digit number directly. Otherwise, use the full 0 2746 format.

Service and Usage Notes

Numbers with the 2746 code are primarily used for fixed-line PSTN services provided by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and private operators like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, which offer landline services in the region. These numbers are used by residential and business subscribers, including government offices, local businesses, and agricultural cooperatives. VoIP services may also route calls to these numbers, but the geographic nature of the code means that the physical location of the line is within the Radhanpur exchange area. For emergency services, callers should use national emergency numbers (e.g., 112) rather than relying on this area code.
