Area Code 8614 – Nellore, Andhra Pradesh

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +91 8614 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the telecommunications circle of Nellore, a major district headquarters in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The code serves the urban agglomeration of Nellore city and its surrounding suburban and rural exchanges, including areas such as Muthukur, Venkatachalam, and Podalakur. Administratively, the code falls under the jurisdiction of the Andhra Pradesh Telecom Circle, overseen by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). It is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and, in accordance with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) guidelines, it may also be used for fixed wireless and VoIP-based local loop services that are tied to a physical address.

Dialing Formats and Number Structure

For callers within India, the local dialing format is 0-8614-XXXXXX, where the leading zero is the national trunk prefix. The subscriber number length is six digits, making the complete national significant number (NSN) ten digits (including the trunk prefix). For international callers, the format is +91 8614 XXXXXX, omitting the trunk prefix. For example, to call a landline in Nellore from the United States, you would dial: 011 91 8614 123456. From a UK mobile, you would dial: 00 91 8614 123456. When calling within the same NDC, local subscribers can often dial the six-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration.

Overlay and Dialing Considerations

As of the latest numbering plan updates, the 8614 code does not have an overlay. However, subscribers should be aware that with the expansion of mobile and VoIP services, some fixed-line numbers may be ported to other operators, but the geographic code remains unchanged. For callers from mobile phones within India, it is mandatory to prefix the area code with the national trunk prefix (0) when dialing a fixed line from a mobile network, even if the call is local. International callers must always use the country code +91 and omit the leading zero.

Caller Instructions

For local callers (within Nellore): If your phone is on the same exchange, you may dial the six-digit number directly. If not, dial 0-8614-XXXXXX.

For national callers (outside Nellore): Dial 0-8614-XXXXXX from any landline or mobile.

For international callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 91 8614 XXXXXX. For example, from Australia, dial 0011 91 8614 123456.

Always ensure the correct number of digits: the subscriber number is six digits, and the complete international format is +91 8614 followed by six digits.
