📍 Geographic Location of Tharparkar

Overview of Area Code 2328

Area code 2328 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Tharparkar District in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) under the ITU-T E.164 standard. The code serves the administrative and commercial hub of Mithi, the district headquarters, as well as surrounding towns and rural settlements within the Thar Desert region.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Tharparkar is one of the largest districts of Pakistan by area, located in the southeastern part of Sindh, bordering India. The 2328 code covers the entire district, including notable localities such as Mithi, Diplo, Islamkot, and Chachro. These areas are served by fixed-line PSTN infrastructure, with copper and fiber-optic connections provided by the state-owned operator (PTCL) and licensed local loop operators.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

To call a fixed-line number in Tharparkar, the standard national format is:

  • National (within Pakistan): Dial 0 2328 XXXXXX (where 0 is the trunk prefix, 2328 is the area code, and XXXXXX is the six-digit subscriber number).
  • International (from outside Pakistan): Dial +92 2328 XXXXXX (drop the leading 0).

Example: For a local number 123456 in Mithi, a caller in Karachi would dial 02328 123456, while an international caller from the United States would dial 011 92 2328 123456 (or +92 2328 123456 on mobile).

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the current PTA numbering plan, there is no overlay code for Tharparkar; 2328 remains the sole geographic code for the district. Subscriber numbers are typically six digits, but some older lines may have fewer digits. When dialing, always include the area code even for local calls within the same district, as per the national dialing guidelines.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Pakistan, always use the trunk prefix 0 before the area code when dialing from a different city. For international callers, ensure you have the correct country code (+92) and omit the leading 0. Be mindful of time zone differences (Pakistan Standard Time, UTC+5) when placing calls.
