“ROSTELECOM” ARMENIA EXPANDS TELEPHONE NETWORK GEOGRAPHY

On February 17, 2016 “Rostelecom” acquired the regional codes for fixed telephone network (NDC) and number lines, according to the decision of Public Services Regulatory Commission.

Previously the company provided customers with phone numbers of non-geographical codes, which were possible to exploit wherever needed in the Republic of Armenia. Due to the provided codes and number lines “Rostelecom” Armenia has got the opportunity to provide phone numbers with geographical codes by regions as well.

Particularly, the company is provided with the number lines 2-9 of Yerevan beginning with 012 code (012 2x xx xx, 012 3x xx xx, etc.), as well as numbers with the codes of geographical place (for example, Gyumri 312 850xx, 312 851xx, etc.). This enables customers living in the regions to get new phone numbers with their regional codes.

Thus, for example, residents of Abovyan city can get phone numbers from the line 222 81xxx, where 222 is the code and 81xxx is the number line).

Likewise, “Rostelecom” in Armenia is provided with number lines for Yerevan and 48 large cities of Armenia (Artashat, Ararat, Ashtarak, Aparan, Tsaghkahovit, Vedi, Talin, Masis, Armavir, Metsamor, Baghramyan, Echmiadzin, Zvartnots, Vardenis, Gavar, Martuni, Sevan, Tchambarak, Vanadzor, Spitak, Stepanavan, Tashir, Alaverdi, Abovjan, Eghvard, Nor Hachn, Hrazdan, Tsaghkadzor, Charencavan, Amasia, Maralik, Artik, Ashotsq, Gyumri, Akhuryan, Goris, Kapan, Qajaran, Meghri, Agarak, Sisian, Vayq, Jermuk, Yeghegnadzor, Diljan, Ijevan, Noyemberyan, Berd) codes.
