Area Code 267 – Jarash

Overview of Jordan's +962 267 Geographic Code

The +962 267 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Jarash Governorate in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. It routes calls to fixed-line PSTN and VoIP landline subscribers within the administrative boundaries of Jarash city and its surrounding municipalities. As with all Jordanian geographic codes, the prefix is tied to a specific area, not to a carrier, meaning that multiple licensed operators may provide local loop services under this NDC.

Coverage Area and Administrative Jurisdiction

Jarash Governorate is located in the northwestern part of Jordan, approximately 48 kilometers north of the capital, Amman. The code covers the city of Jarash (also spelled Jerash), which is renowned for its well-preserved Roman ruins, as well as smaller towns and villages within the governorate, such as Souf, Burma, and Sakib. The region is part of the Irbid administrative division for some governmental purposes, but the telecommunications numbering plan treats Jarash as a separate geographic area with its own NDC.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Jordan, the national dialing format requires dialing 0 followed by the NDC and the subscriber number. The complete national number for a Jarash landline is 0 267 X XXXX, where the total length after the leading zero is 8 digits. For example, a typical Jarash fixed-line number would be 0 267 123 456.

For international callers, the Jordan country code (+962) replaces the leading zero. The international format is +962 267 X XXXX. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +962 267 123 456 from any country outside Jordan.

When calling from a mobile phone within Jordan, the same national format applies: dial 0 267 X XXXX. No additional prefix is required.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for Jarash; the 267 NDC is the sole geographic code for the governorate. Subscriber numbers are typically 7 digits long, making the total national significant number (NSN) 8 digits (excluding the leading 0). As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, Jordan's numbering plan is closed, meaning that the NDC and subscriber number are always dialed together, even for local calls within Jarash. Callers must always include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing within Jordan.

Practical Guidance for Callers

• Local callers (within Jarash): Dial the full national number: 0 267 X XXXX.
• Callers from other Jordanian cities: Dial the same national format: 0 267 X XXXX.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 962, then 267, then the 7-digit subscriber number. Example: +962 267 X XXXX.
• VoIP and mobile users: The same dialing rules apply; there is no special prefix for VoIP services.

Always verify the subscriber number length, as some older lines may have fewer digits. If you encounter difficulties, contact your service provider for assistance.
