Area Code 3311 – Vose

Geographic Overview

The area code 3311 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Vose district (also spelled Vose') in the Khatlon Region of Tajikistan. Vose is a district-level administrative unit located in the southern part of the country, approximately 140 kilometers southeast of the capital, Dushanbe. The district center, also named Vose, serves as a local hub for surrounding rural communities. The code is used for fixed-line telephone services within this specific geographic area, following the ITU-T E.164 numbering plan for Tajikistan.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Vose from abroad, you must use the international format: +992 3311 XXX XX, where +992 is the country calling code for Tajikistan, 3311 is the area code, and the subscriber number is typically 5 to 6 digits long. For example, a complete international number might appear as +9923311456789. From within Tajikistan, callers dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number: 0 3311 XXX XX. For local calls within the Vose district, the area code may be omitted, depending on the specific local dialing plan, but it is always required for calls from other regions of the country.

Caller Instructions

For international callers: Dial your country's international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by 992, then 3311, and the subscriber number. Ensure you drop any leading '0' that might be used domestically. For callers within Tajikistan: Dial 0 before the area code when calling from a different fixed-line zone or from a mobile phone. If you are physically in the Vose area and calling another local fixed-line number, you may be able to dial just the local subscriber number, but this practice is becoming less common with modern switching systems.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

Geographic codes in Tajikistan are allocated by the Communications Service under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. The numbering plan follows the national standard, and all fixed-line numbers are part of the PSTN. While VoIP services are available, they may not always provide a geographic number associated with Vose. For emergency services or directory assistance, local numbers must be used. As with all geographic codes, the number's tariff structure is based on the call's origin and destination, with international calls typically incurring higher charges. Always verify the current dialing procedures with your telecom provider, as numbering plans can be updated.
