Area Code 682 – Dhamar

Overview of Area Code 682

Area code 682 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Dhamar Governorate in the Republic of Yemen. It is part of the national numbering plan administered under the ITU-T E.164 standard, with Yemen’s country calling code +967. The code serves the city of Dhamar and its surrounding districts, including rural communities within the governorate. Dhamar is located approximately 100 kilometers south of the capital, Sana’a, and is an important agricultural and historical region.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Dhamar from within Yemen, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber’s local number. The national format is:

• 0 682 XXX XXX (where X represents the local subscriber digits)

For international callers, the country code +967 is used, and the leading trunk prefix 0 is dropped. The international dialing format is:

• +967 682 XXX XXX

For example, a local call to a Dhamar number might be dialed as 0 682 123 456, while an international caller would dial +967 682 123 456.

Caller Instructions

Local callers (within Yemen): If you are calling from another governorate or from a mobile phone, you must include the trunk prefix and area code: 0 682 followed by the local number. If you are calling from within Dhamar itself, you may be able to dial only the local subscriber number, depending on your telephone operator’s configuration. However, to ensure connectivity, it is recommended to always use the full national format.

International callers: From outside Yemen, dial your country’s international access code (e.g., 00 or 011), then Yemen’s country code +967, followed by the area code 682 and the local number. Do not include the leading 0 of the trunk prefix.

Administrative and Geographic Coverage

The Dhamar Governorate is divided into several districts, including the city of Dhamar (the capital), and areas such as Utmah, Jahran, and Al-Manar. The 682 code is used for fixed-line services provided by Yemen’s incumbent operator, TeleYemen, and potentially other licensed operators. As with many regions in Yemen, the telecommunications infrastructure may be subject to service disruptions due to ongoing conflicts, so callers should be prepared for possible network instability.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for Dhamar; the 682 code is the sole geographic code for the governorate. However, due to the expansion of mobile and VoIP services, some subscribers may have migrated to mobile numbers, which use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 77x for mobile). Always verify the correct number type before dialing.
