Area Code 3745 – Tash-Kumyr, Jalal-Abat region

Geographic Overview

The area code 3745 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Tash-Kumyr and its surrounding administrative territory within the Jalal-Abad region of the Kyrgyz Republic. Tash-Kumyr is a mid-sized industrial and administrative center situated in the western part of the Fergana Valley, along the banks of the Naryn River. The code covers the urban core of Tash-Kumyr as well as several adjacent rural settlements that fall under the city administration. This geographic allocation follows the ITU-T E.164 numbering plan for Kyrgyzstan, where the national significant number (NSN) consists of the area code followed by a subscriber number of varying length.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Tash-Kumyr from within Kyrgyzstan, you must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. For example, a local number might be dialed as:

• 0 (3745) 5 12 34 – national format

From abroad, callers must replace the trunk prefix with the country code for Kyrgyzstan (+996) and omit the leading zero. The international format becomes:

• +996 3745 5 12 34 – international format

Note that the number of digits after the area code may vary depending on the specific exchange and the operator's numbering plan. Always verify the exact subscriber number length with the local provider or the recipient.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 3745 area code is part of the Jalal-Abad region's telecommunications infrastructure, which is administered by the State Communications Agency of the Kyrgyz Republic. The region is known for its hydroelectric power plants and coal mining, and Tash-Kumyr serves as a key hub for these industries. The code is used exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including traditional copper lines and, in some cases, fixed wireless or VoIP services that are registered to a physical address within the geographic area. Mobile numbers in Kyrgyzstan are assigned distinct non-geographic prefixes (e.g., +996 5xx, +996 7xx) and are not affected by this area code.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Tash-Kumyr, it may be possible to dial only the subscriber number without the area code, depending on the local network configuration. However, for clarity and reliability, it is recommended to always use the full national format, especially when calling from a mobile phone or from a different region. Foreign callers should be aware of time zone differences (Kyrgyzstan Time, UTC+6) and should ensure they have the correct international access code for their country before dialing +996.

As with all geographic numbers in Kyrgyzstan, calls from mobile networks may be subject to higher tariffs than on-net calls, and international calls will incur additional charges. There are no overlay codes currently assigned to the 3745 area, meaning that the numbering capacity is sufficient for the local demand.
