Regulatory and Technical Notes
Geographic area codes in Tajikistan are allocated by the Communications Service under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, in accordance with the national numbering plan aligned with ITU-T E.164 recommendations. The 3250 code is exclusively for fixed-line PSTN services. As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes in Sarband; the 3250 code is unique to this geographic area. However, subscribers may have migrated to VoIP-based fixed lines, but the geographic significance of the code remains unchanged for routing purposes.
When dialing from a mobile phone, the same international format applies. It is important to note that calls to geographic numbers from mobile networks may be subject to different tariffs depending on the operator. For emergency services or directory assistance, callers should use the national short codes, not the area code.
