Area Code 1552 – Bahan

Geographic Overview

The +95 1552 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Bahan township area within Yangon, Myanmar's largest city and former capital. Bahan is a central, high-density district known for its commercial hubs, embassies, and residential neighborhoods. This code is used for fixed-line PSTN services, and numbers under this prefix follow the standard Myanmar geographic numbering format.

Dialing Formats

For international callers, the full number must be dialed as +95 1552 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber's local number). The leading '0' used in domestic dialing is omitted when calling from abroad. For example, a local number 1552 123 456 would be dialed as +95 1552 123 456 from outside Myanmar. Within Myanmar, callers must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the NDC and subscriber number: 0 1552 123 456. Note that the NDC '1552' is four digits long, and the total number of digits after the country code (including the NDC) is typically 8 to 9, depending on the subscriber number length.

Geographic Allocation and Overlays

As a geographic code, 1552 is tied to the physical location of the subscriber's line. The allocation is administered by the Myanmar Post and Telecommunications Department (PTD) under the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Yangon, being the primary economic center, has multiple NDCs for different townships, and Bahan's 1552 is one of them. There are no overlay codes for this area; the code is exclusive to Bahan's fixed-line services. If you are calling a Bahan landline from another township within Yangon, you must still dial the full trunk prefix and area code, as local dialing without the area code is not permitted for numbers outside your immediate exchange.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Myanmar: dial 0 1552 XXX XXX. For international callers: dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 95 (Myanmar's country code), then 1552, followed by the subscriber's number. Ensure you do not include the leading '0' when calling from abroad. For example, to call a Bahan number 1552 765 432 from the United States, you would dial: 011 95 1552 765 432. From the UK, you would dial: 00 95 1552 765 432.

Service and Reliability

Fixed-line services in Bahan are provided primarily by Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), the state-owned operator, though private operators may offer services in some buildings. These lines are typically used for residential and business purposes, offering reliable voice and DSL internet connectivity. As with all geographic numbers, the prefix does not support mobile services; mobile numbers in Myanmar begin with different NDCs such as 9, 92, 94, etc. If you receive a call from +95 1552, it is originating from a fixed line in Bahan, Yangon.
