Overview of Yemen Area Code 43
Area code 43 is the National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Taiz and its surrounding governorate in the Republic of Yemen. This geographic code is part of the national numbering plan under the country calling code +967, which follows the ITU-T E.164 standard. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the Taiz region, which is one of Yemen's most populous and economically significant areas.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The 43 code covers the entire Taiz Governorate, including the provincial capital Taiz city and its districts. This region is located in the southwestern highlands of Yemen, bordered by Ibb to the north, Lahij to the east, and the Red Sea coast to the west. The code serves both urban and rural fixed-line subscribers within the governorate's administrative boundaries.
Dialing Formats and Instructions
For callers within Yemen, the national dialing format is 0 43 XXX XXX (where the leading 0 is the trunk prefix). For international callers, the format is +967 43 XXX XXX (or 0043 from countries using the international prefix 00). The local number length after the area code is typically 6 digits, resulting in a total of 9 digits for the complete national significant number (excluding the trunk prefix).
Example: To call a fixed line in Taiz from abroad, dial +967 43 123 456. From within Yemen, dial 043 123 456.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for Taiz; the 43 code remains the sole geographic code for the region. However, due to the expansion of mobile and VoIP services, some subscribers may have migrated to non-geographic numbers, but fixed-line numbers retain the 43 prefix.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Taiz may sometimes omit the area code when dialing numbers within the same city, depending on the local exchange setup. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always include the area code. Foreign callers must ensure they replace the trunk prefix 0 with the international access code and country code (+967) when calling from abroad.
