Geographic Coverage and Administration

The code 1352 covers the administrative territory of Erdenet, which is the capital of Orkhon Province. It includes the central urban area, residential districts, and industrial zones. The city is located in the northern part of the country, about 240 kilometers northwest of the national capital, Ulaanbaatar. As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical location of the subscriber's line.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Erdenet from within Mongolia, you must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The national significant number (NSN) is 8 digits long, consisting of the 4-digit area code (1352) and a 4-digit subscriber number (e.g., 1352 XXXX).

• National dialing (from within Mongolia): 0 1352 XXXX
• International dialing (from outside Mongolia): +976 1352 XXXX

For example, if the subscriber number is 1234, the local number would be 1352 1234. To call from abroad, you would dial +976 1352 1234.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Mongolia, simply replace the leading 0 with the international access code when dialing from a mobile phone (e.g., dial +976 1352 XXXX). For international callers, ensure you have the correct country code for Mongolia (+976) and omit the trunk prefix 0. Always verify the subscriber number length, as some numbers may have been migrated or ported.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, there is no overlay code for Erdenet. The area code 1352 is exclusively used for fixed-line services in this region. However, with the growth of VoIP and mobile services, some numbers may be used for non-geographic purposes, but the code remains officially designated as geographic.

For businesses or residents, it is important to note that this code is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in Mongolia start with 8 or 9 and are non-geographic. If you are trying to reach a mobile phone in Erdenet, you will need to dial the mobile number directly, which will have a different prefix.
