Technical Notes

The 678 prefix is a geographic area code allocated under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering plan. It is assigned to the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and other licensed fixed-line operators providing PSTN services in the Vehari region. The numbering area is part of the Punjab province's second-level administrative divisions. As with all geographic codes in Pakistan, the area code is used for routing calls through the national PSTN and is not portable across different geographic regions.
