Area Code 3155 – Shakhrinav

Overview of Area Code 3155

Area code 3155 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Shakhrinav district in Tajikistan. This district is located in the Region of Republican Subordination (RRP), approximately 40 kilometers west of the capital, Dushanbe. The code serves the administrative center of Shakhrinav and its surrounding rural settlements, including the towns of Sariosiyo and Obi-Mehrob. As a geographic code, 3155 is tied to the PSTN infrastructure of this specific area, and calls to this code are routed via the fixed-line network of Tajikistan's incumbent operator, Tajiktelecom.

Dialing Formats

To call a fixed-line number in Shakhrinav, you must use the following formats:

• International format (from abroad): +992 3155 XXX XX (replace X with the local subscriber number). For example, if the local number is 12345, dial +992 3155 12345.
• National format (within Tajikistan): 8 (wait for dial tone) 3155 XXX XX. Alternatively, some operators allow direct dialing of 3155 XXX XX. Always check with your service provider.
• Local format (within Shakhrinav): For calls within the same area code, you may be able to dial just the subscriber number (XXX XX), but this depends on the local exchange setup.

Caller Instructions

For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by Tajikistan's country code +992, then the area code 3155 (without the leading zero, as Tajikistan uses a closed numbering plan), and finally the local subscriber number. Ensure you omit any initial '0' that might appear in local listings.

For callers within Tajikistan: When calling from a mobile phone, you can usually dial the area code and number directly (e.g., 3155 12345). From a landline, you may need to dial '8' first to access an outside line, wait for the dial tone, then dial the area code and number. If you are calling from outside the Shakhrinav area but within Tajikistan, you must include the area code.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletin, there is no overlay code for 3155. The numbering plan for Tajikistan is closed, with a maximum length of 10 digits for national significant numbers (NSN), including the country code. The area code 3155 is part of the 3xxx range assigned to fixed-line services in the RRP region. Subscriber numbers in Shakhrinav typically have 5 to 7 digits, but the total NSN (area code + subscriber number) must not exceed 9 digits (excluding the leading '8' used for trunk prefix). Always verify the exact number length with your service provider, as local number portability may affect routing.

For businesses or individuals in Shakhrinav, it is essential to display numbers in international format (+992 3155 ...) on websites and marketing materials to ensure accessibility for global clients. When traveling to Tajikistan, remember that international roaming may require you to dial +992 3155 ... even if you are physically in the country but using a foreign SIM.
