Regulatory and Technical Notes
As a geographic code, 235 is regulated by ANACOM, Portugal's national regulatory authority. It is used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. Since 2011, Portugal implemented full number portability, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, even if moving outside the original geographic area. However, the tariff structure may still reflect the original geographic allocation. There is no overlay code for this area; the 235 code remains the sole NDC for Arganil.
