Area Code 1372 – Darkhan city, Darkhan-Uul

Overview of Mongolia's +976 1372 Geographic Code

The +976 1372 code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Darkhan, the capital of Darkhan-Uul Province in northern Mongolia. Darkhan is the second-largest industrial center in Mongolia, located approximately 230 kilometers north of Ulaanbaatar. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the city and its immediate administrative boundaries.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Darkhan fixed-line number from abroad, you must dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), followed by Mongolia's country code +976, then the area code 1372, and finally the local subscriber number. For example, if the local number is 123456, the international format is +976 1372 123456.

For domestic calls within Mongolia from other regions, dial 0 (trunk prefix) followed by 1372 and the subscriber number: 0 1372 123456. Calls made within Darkhan itself may use local dialing (7-digit subscriber number) without the area code, depending on the operator's dialing plan.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 1372 NDC covers the urban area of Darkhan, including the central districts and surrounding suburban zones under the jurisdiction of Darkhan-Uul Province. It does not cover other provinces or the capital Ulaanbaatar, which uses different area codes. Darkhan-Uul is one of Mongolia's 21 provinces, and its economy is driven by industry, construction, and agriculture.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within Darkhan: If your phone line is in the same exchange, you may only need to dial the 7-digit subscriber number. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, always use the full national format when in doubt.
• Domestic callers from other Mongolian cities: Dial 0, then 1372, then the subscriber number.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from North America), then 976, then 1372, then the subscriber number. Do not dial the trunk prefix 0.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, there is no overlay code for Darkhan; 1372 remains the sole geographic code for the city. Subscriber numbers are typically 7 digits long, but some older lines may have fewer digits. Always verify the complete number with the recipient to ensure accurate dialing.

For businesses or individuals requiring a presence in Darkhan, obtaining a local fixed-line number with the 1372 code can enhance local credibility and reduce long-distance charges for customers within the city.
