📍 Geographic Location of Ngaraard State

Geographic Overview

The +680 82 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Ngaraard State, located on the northern tip of Babeldaob Island in the Republic of Palau. Ngaraard is one of Palau's sixteen states and is known for its traditional villages, pristine beaches, and the famous Badrulchau Stone Monoliths. The state's administrative center is the hamlet of Ngebuked, while other settlements include Ulimang and Ngkesill. This prefix covers all fixed-line telephone services within the state's boundaries, including government offices, local businesses, and residential lines.

Dialing Formats

To call a Ngaraard fixed-line number from within Palau, you must dial the full national number, which includes the NDC and the subscriber number. The national format is 82X XXXX, where '82' is the area code and the following seven digits represent the local subscriber number. For example, a local call to a Ngaraard business might be dialed as 825 1234.

When calling from outside Palau, you need to use the international format: +680 82X XXXX. For instance, a caller from the United States would dial 011 680 825 1234, while callers from most European countries would dial 00 680 825 1234. The leading '+' indicates the international access code, and '680' is Palau's country calling code.

Caller Instructions

Local callers (within Palau): Simply dial the eight-digit national number (e.g., 825 1234). No trunk prefix is required, as Palau uses a closed dialing plan.

International callers: Dial your country's exit code, followed by Palau's country code 680, and then the eight-digit national number. Ensure you omit any leading '0' that might be used in domestic dialing (though Palau does not use a trunk prefix).

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for Ngaraard; the 82 prefix is exclusive to this state. However, Palau's numbering plan is administered by the Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC) under the ITU-T E.164 standard. As of 2024, Palau has not introduced mobile number portability, but fixed-line services are generally tied to the geographic location. If you are calling a Ngaraard number that has been ported to a VoIP service, the call may be routed over IP, but the dialing format remains the same.
