This area code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the governorate, covering the city of Tafileh (also spelled Tafilah) and its surrounding towns and villages.

For international callers, the country code +962 replaces the leading zero, and the number is dialed as:

Geographic Coverage and Overlays
The 322 area code serves the entire Tafileh Governorate, which is known for its mountainous terrain and historical sites such as Dana Biosphere Reserve. The code is geographically specific, meaning the number identifies the caller's physical location. Currently, there are no overlay codes in Jordan, so the 322 area code is exclusive to Tafileh. However, the TRC may introduce number portability, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when moving within the same geographic region, but the area code generally remains tied to the original service location.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Tafileh, dialing the full national number (including the 0) is always required, even if calling from another number within the same area code. For international callers, always replace the leading 0 with +962. For example, a caller from the United States would dial 011 962 322 123 4567, while a caller from the United Kingdom would dial 00 962 322 123 4567. Ensure you have the correct local number, as the subscriber number length is typically 7 digits after the area code, but always verify with the recipient.
