Area Code 368 – Baturiti

Overview of Area Code 368 (Baturiti, Indonesia)

Area code 368 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Baturiti region in Bali, Indonesia. In the Indonesian numbering plan, geographic area codes are allocated to specific administrative areas, and 368 serves the Baturiti district, which is part of the Tabanan Regency. This area is known for its scenic highlands and proximity to the Bedugul mountain resort area, a popular tourist destination. The code covers the local exchanges that route calls to fixed-line subscribers within this region.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Indonesia, dialing a Baturiti number requires the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The local subscriber number for Baturiti typically consists of 5 to 7 digits, depending on the specific exchange and the historical numbering capacity. The complete national format is 0-368-XXXXXXX. For example, a local number might be 0368-123456.

For international callers, the dialing format is +62 368 XXXXXXX, where +62 is the country calling code for Indonesia. The leading 0 of the national trunk prefix is omitted when dialing from abroad. Thus, if the national number is 0368-123456, the international format becomes +62 368 123456.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 368 area code is specifically allocated to the Baturiti sub-district (kecamatan) within the Tabanan Regency of Bali Province. Baturiti is located in the central part of Bali, and its administrative center is the village of Baturiti. The area is characterized by a mix of residential communities, agricultural land, and tourism-related businesses, particularly those serving the nearby Bedugul and Ulun Danu Beratan Temple attractions. The code is used for fixed-line telephone services provided by local telecommunications operators, including Telkom Indonesia and other licensed PSTN providers.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for the 368 area. Subscribers within Baturiti use the 0368 prefix for all local fixed-line calls. However, with the ongoing migration to IP-based telephony and the increasing use of mobile and VoIP services, the distinction between geographic and non-geographic numbers is becoming less relevant for end users. Nevertheless, for traditional PSTN calls, the geographic routing remains in effect.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Baturiti, dialing another fixed-line number in the same area may require only the subscriber number, depending on the local dialing plan. However, it is standard practice to dial the full national number, including the trunk prefix and area code, to ensure proper routing. For callers from other regions in Indonesia, always dial 0368 followed by the subscriber number. For international callers, use +62 368 followed by the subscriber number. Ensure you have the correct country code and omit the leading zero.
