Area Code 332 – Bondowoso

Overview of Area Code +62 332

Area code 332 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Indonesian numbering plan, assigned to the Bondowoso Regency in the province of East Java (Jawa Timur). It serves the administrative capital Bondowoso and surrounding districts, including Curahdami, Grujugan, Tamanan, and Wonosari. The code is part of the legacy PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) infrastructure, now also carried over VoIP and mobile networks for fixed-wireless access.

Dialing Formats

For domestic callers outside the 332 area, the full trunk prefix and area code must be dialed: 0-332-XXXXXXX (where XXXXXXX is the 7-digit subscriber number). Local calls within Bondowoso can be made using just the 7-digit subscriber number, without the area code. International callers must use the Indonesian country code +62, drop the leading trunk prefix '0', and dial +62-332-XXXXXXX. For example, a local number 1234567 would be dialed as 0-332-1234567 domestically and +62-332-1234567 from abroad.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

Bondowoso is located in the eastern part of East Java, bordered by Situbondo, Jember, and Banyuwangi. The area code 332 is administered under the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (BRTI) and is allocated to PT Telkom Indonesia for fixed-line services. As with many Indonesian fixed-line codes, 332 is not overlaid with another code; however, subscribers may have migrated to VoIP-based fixed services, but the dialing format remains unchanged.

Caller Instructions

When calling from a mobile phone within Indonesia, it is common practice to include the area code even when dialing a fixed line in the same city, as mobile networks do not interpret local 7-digit dialing. From overseas, ensure you have the correct international exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most countries) before dialing +62. Always verify the subscriber number length, as some legacy lines may have fewer digits.
