Area Code 276 – Tay Ninh province

Overview of +84 276

The +84 276 area code is the National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Tây Ninh in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. This geographic code is part of Vietnam's national numbering plan, which adheres to the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. Tây Ninh is located in the Southeast region of Vietnam, sharing a border with Cambodia to the west and northwest. The province is known for its agricultural production, particularly rice, rubber, and sugarcane, as well as the famous Bà Đen Mountain, the highest peak in southern Vietnam.

Coverage and Administration

The 276 code covers the entire administrative jurisdiction of Tây Ninh province, including its capital city, also named Tây Ninh, and all districts such as Tân Biên, Tân Châu, Dương Minh Châu, Châu Thành, Hòa Thành, Bến Cầu, Gò Dầu, and Trảng Bàng. Subscribers within this region—whether using fixed-line PSTN services or fixed wireless local loop—are assigned numbers under this NDC.

Dialing Formats

For domestic callers within Vietnam, the number is dialed as 0276 XXX XXXX (including the trunk prefix '0'). For international callers, the format is +84 276 XXX XXXX (without the leading '0'). The subscriber number length is 8 digits, making the total number length 10 digits when including the trunk prefix, and 11 digits when including the country code.

Example: A fixed-line number in Tây Ninh might be 0276 382 1234 domestically, which becomes +84 276 382 1234 for international callers.

Overlays and Numbering Changes

As of the latest numbering plan update in 2017, Vietnam introduced a unified numbering plan that changed all area codes from 2-digit to 3-digit formats. Tây Ninh's code was changed from 066 to 276. There are no overlay codes in this region; the 276 code is exclusive to Tây Ninh province.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within Tây Ninh: For calls within the same province, you may need to dial the full national number (including the area code) depending on your operator's requirements. However, it is always safe to dial 0276 followed by the subscriber number.
• Callers from other provinces in Vietnam: Dial 0276 followed by the 8-digit subscriber number.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then 84 (Vietnam's country code), then 276, and finally the 8-digit subscriber number.

When dialing from a mobile phone, ensure you include the area code even if you are within the same province, as mobile networks route based on the full national number.
