Amran is located in the highlands of northwestern Yemen, approximately 50 kilometers north of the capital, Sana'a.

Dialing Formats
For international callers, the full E.164 number format is: +967 76 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber's local number digits). When dialing from within Yemen, callers must use the national trunk prefix 0 before the area code, resulting in the format: 076 XXX XXX. For example, to call a landline in Amran from abroad, you would dial +967 76 123 456; from within Yemen, you would dial 076 123 456.
Local vs. International Instructions
- Local callers (within Yemen): Dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and subscriber number: 076 XXX XXX.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or 011 from the US/Canada), then Yemen's country code 967, followed by the area code without the leading '0' and the subscriber number: +967 76 XXX XXX.
Numbering Plan Considerations
Yemen's numbering plan follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Geographic area codes are allocated by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of Yemen. The length of subscriber numbers within the 76 area code may vary, but the total length of the national significant number (NSN) is typically 9 digits (including the leading '0' when dialed nationally). As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes for Amran; the 76 code is exclusively assigned to this governorate. However, due to the ongoing modernization of Yemen's telecom infrastructure, it is advisable to verify the current dialing procedures with your service provider, especially for VoIP or mobile calls.
Services and Usage
The 76 area code is used for fixed-line PSTN services, primarily provided by the state-owned incumbent operator, Yemen Public Telecommunications Corporation (PTC). In recent years, some VoIP operators have also been granted access to geographic numbers, but the primary use remains traditional landline services. Businesses and government offices in Amran rely on this code for their official communications.
