Overview of Yemen's +967 6864 Geographic Code
The country calling code +967 is assigned to the Republic of Yemen under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering plan. Within this framework, the national destination code (NDC) 6864 is a geographic area code allocated to the Dhamar Governorate, located in the central highlands of Yemen. Dhamar is an administrative and agricultural hub, and this code serves fixed-line PSTN subscribers within the governorate's primary urban and rural areas, including the city of Dhamar and its surrounding districts.
Dialing Formats and Usage
When calling a Dhamar fixed-line number from abroad, the international format is: +967 6864 XXX XX (or +9676864XXXXX without spaces). For example, a local number might appear as 6864 123 45; from outside Yemen, you would dial +967 6864 123 45. Within Yemen, callers must use the trunk prefix 0 before the area code, so the domestic dialing format is 0 6864 XXX XX (e.g., 0 6864 123 45). Note that the leading 0 is dropped when dialing from an international location.
Geographic Coverage and Overlays
The 6864 code is dedicated to the Dhamar Governorate, which is bordered by Sana'a to the north and Ibb to the south. It is part of Yemen's fixed-line network, historically operated by the state-owned Public Telecommunications Corporation (PTC). As of the current numbering plan, no overlay codes have been assigned for Dhamar; the 6864 prefix remains the sole geographic code for this region. However, due to the ongoing conflict and infrastructure challenges, some fixed-line services may be disrupted, and alternative communication methods (e.g., mobile or VoIP) are often used.
Caller Instructions
For international callers: dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by 967 (Yemen's country code), then the area code 6864 without the leading zero, and finally the local subscriber number. For example, from the UK, you would dial 00 967 6864 123 45. For domestic callers within Yemen, simply dial 0 6864 followed by the local number. Be aware that call charges apply based on your telecom provider's international or national rates, and that fixed-line numbers are not mobile numbers, so they cannot be reached via SMS.
