Caller Instructions
Local callers within Kabodion: In many fixed-line networks, local calls may be dialed using only the 6-digit subscriber number, but this depends on the specific operator's dialing plan. For reliability, always use the full national format.
Callers from other regions in Tajikistan: Dial 0 3251 followed by the local number. The trunk prefix 0 is essential.
International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or 011 from the US/Canada), then 992, then 3251, and finally the 6-digit local number. Do not include the trunk prefix 0.
Numbering Plan Considerations
Tajikistan's numbering plan follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Geographic codes like 3251 are allocated to specific regions and are not portable across different geographic areas. The subscriber number length is 6 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) 9 digits (including the leading 0). Overlay codes are not currently in use for this area, so the 3251 code is unique to Kabodion.
As of recent years, fixed-line penetration in rural areas may be limited, and some subscribers may have migrated to mobile or VoIP services. However, the geographic prefix remains active for traditional PSTN connections.
