Area code 3465 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Taboshar (also spelled Taboshar or Tabosar) in the Sughd Province of northwestern Tajikistan. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered under the ITU-T E.164 standard, with the full country calling code +992 for Tajikistan.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The 3465 prefix covers the urban settlement of Taboshar and its immediate surrounding rural areas within the Ghafurov District of Sughd Province. As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) infrastructure serving this locality. Calls to this code terminate on fixed-line networks operated by the national incumbent provider, Tojiktelecom, as well as any licensed alternative local operators.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For international callers, the complete number format is +992 3465 XXX XX, where +992 is the country code, 3465 is the area code, and the subscriber number typically consists of 5 to 6 digits. For example, a local number might be dialed as +992 3465 12345 from abroad. Within Tajikistan, callers from other regions must dial the trunk prefix 0 before the area code: 0 3465 12345. Local callers within Taboshar can often dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local network configuration. Mobile users in Tajikistan should use the same national format (0 3465 XXX XX) to reach fixed lines in Taboshar.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletin, there is no overlay code for the 3465 area. The numbering capacity is sufficient for the town's population, which has declined since the post-Soviet era. However, with the expansion of VoIP and mobile services, some subscribers may have ported numbers, but geographic numbers generally remain tied to the physical location. Callers should be aware that fixed-line numbers in Tajikistan are not portable across different geographic areas.
Practical Usage and Tips
When calling a business or government office in Taboshar, always confirm the complete number including the area code. International callers should check with their service provider for applicable rates to Tajikistan, as calls to geographic numbers are typically charged at standard international landline rates. For travelers within Tajikistan, using a local SIM card with a mobile prefix (e.g., 90, 91, 92, 93, 98) is often more convenient, but landline numbers remain essential for reaching many local institutions.
