Area Code 4840 – Taiz

Geographic Overview

The +967 4840 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Taiz Governorate in southwestern Yemen. Taiz is one of the country's most populous urban centers and a key industrial and cultural hub, located approximately 200 kilometers south of the capital Sana'a. The prefix serves landline subscribers within the Taiz metropolitan area and its immediate surroundings, including districts such as Al-Mudhaffar, Al-Qahirah, and Salah. As with all Yemeni fixed-line numbers, the 4840 code is administered by the Public Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) and follows the national numbering plan under ITU-T E.164.

Dialing Format

To call a Taiz landline from abroad, dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), followed by Yemen's country code 967, then the NDC 4840, and the subscriber's 6-digit local number. The complete international format is: +967 4840 XXXXXX (where XXXXXX represents the six-digit subscriber line).

For domestic calls within Yemen, dial the trunk prefix 0 before the NDC: 0 4840 XXXXXX. If you are calling from within the Taiz area itself, you may dial the local number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange setup. However, for clarity and consistency, it is recommended to always use the full national format.

Numbering and Overlay

Yemen's fixed-line numbers are closed dialing plan, meaning the NDC and subscriber number are always dialed together for domestic calls. The 4840 code is a geographic code, and there is no overlay code currently assigned for Taiz. Subscriber numbers under this prefix are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 9 digits (including the NDC).

Caller Instructions

• International callers: Dial +967 4840 XXXXXX. Ensure you replace the leading '0' of the national format with the country code.
• Domestic callers outside Taiz: Dial 0 4840 XXXXXX.
• Callers within Taiz: If local dialing is supported, you may dial the 6-digit subscriber number directly. Otherwise, use the full national format.

Note that due to the ongoing telecommunications infrastructure development in Yemen, some calls may experience routing delays. For VoIP services, ensure you have a valid international dialing plan configured.
