Overview of Area Code 746 (Bangko, Indonesia)
Area code 746 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Bangko region in the province of Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. It serves the administrative capital of Merangin Regency and its surrounding districts. The code is part of Indonesia's closed numbering plan, where the full national significant number (NSN) comprises the trunk prefix 0, the area code 746, and a subscriber number of typically 5 to 7 digits, resulting in a total NSN length of 9 to 10 digits (excluding the international prefix).
Geographic Coverage and Dialing
The 746 code covers the urban and rural areas around Bangko, including the districts of Pamenang, Tabir, and Muara Siau, among others. For local calls within the same area code, callers can often dial just the subscriber number, but for calls from other regions in Indonesia, the format is: 0746-XXXXXXX. Internationally, callers should dial +62 746-XXXXXXX (replacing the leading 0 with the country code 62).
Numbering and Overlay Considerations
As with many Indonesian geographic codes, 746 is not overlaid with another area code; it is a standalone NDC. Subscriber numbers are allocated by local fixed-line operators, primarily Telkom Indonesia, and may also be used by VoIP providers offering fixed-line services. The number length can vary, so always verify the complete number when dialing.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within 746): Dial the subscriber number directly (if supported by the local exchange).
- Domestic callers (outside 746): Dial 0746 followed by the subscriber number.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 62, then 746, then the subscriber number (omit the leading 0).
For example, a local number in Bangko might be 0746-12345. From abroad, you would dial +62 746-12345. Always confirm the exact subscriber number length with the called party, as it can vary.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
Area code 746 is regulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) and follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Fixed-line numbers are typically used for PSTN and VoIP services, and number portability is not widely implemented for fixed lines, so the code generally indicates the geographic location of the line. For emergency services, always dial the national emergency numbers (112 or 113) regardless of area code.
