Telephone numbers in Georgia (country)
Introduction Telephone numbers in Georgia consist of 9 digits and follow a closed numbering plan in which the initial 2 or 3 digits indicate the service or area code (in case of geographic numbers) and the remaining 6 or 7 digits identify the subscriber.
Numbering plan The current dialling plan is in force since 4 June 2011 when a wide-ranging reform took place. Specifically, area codes were updated to start with 2 or 3, mobile numbers came to begin with the digit 5, and some geographical numbers were padded with an additional digit 2 or 3 immediately after the area code to the total number of digits equalling 9.The current plan is as follows: Prefix/CodeDescription '''1XX''' Used for emergency/special numbers and international calls prefix. E.g., '''111''' - Fire Service '''2XX''' Reserved '''3X(X)''' Area codes of in eastern Georgia. E.g., '''32''' - Tbilisi, '''341''' - Rustavi '''4X(X)''' Area codes in western Georgia. E.g., '''431''' - Kutaisi '''5XX''' Prefixes of mobile operators. E.g., '''595''' - MagtiCom '''6XX''' Reserved '''7XX''' Non-geographical services. E.g., '''790''' - Magtifix, fixed mobile operator '''8XX''' Toll free and shared-cost numbers. E.g., '''800''' '''9XX''' Premium-cost numbers=== Geographic numbering ===Since 1 March 2011, area codes have changed and the first digit came to indicate the respective part of the country: numbers start with  3  for eastern Georgia and with  4  for western Georgia. The current area codes are as follows: Code  Area  Code  Area  Code Area  32 (33)   Tbilisi  (reserved)  366   Adigeni   431  Kutaisi   341   Rustavi   367   Borjomi   432  Vani   342   Akhalgori   368   Khashuri   433  Kharagauli   344   Tskhinvali   369   Kareli   434  Baghdati   345   Stepantsminda   370   Gori   435  Sachkhere   346   Dusheti   371   Kaspi   436  Tskaltubo   347   Java   372   Gardabani   437  Lentekhi   348   Tianeti   373   Mtskheta   439  Ambrolauri   349   Akhmeta   374   Tighvi 442  Sukhumi   350   Telavi   410   Mestia   443  Gagra   351   Sagarejo   411   Samtredia   444  Gudauta   352   Kvareli   412   Abasha   445  Ochamchire   353   Gurjaani   413   Senaki   446  Tkvarcheli   354   Lagodekhi   414   Khobi   447  Gali   355   Sighnaghi   415   Zugdidi   448  Gulripshi   356   Dedoplistskaro   416   Tsalenjikha   472  Tsageri   357   Marneuli   417   Chkhorotsku   473  Oni   358   Bolnisi   418   Martvili   479  Chiatura   359   Tetritsqaro   419   Chokhatauri   491  Terjola   360   Dmanisi   422   Batumi   492  Zestafoni   361   Ninotsminda   423   Khulo   493  Poti   362   Akhalkalaki   424   Shuakhevi   494  Lanchkhuti   363   Tsalka   425   Keda   495  Khoni   364   Aspindza   426   Kobuleti   496  Ozurgeti   365   Akhaltsikhe   427   Khelvachauri   497  Tkibuli  ===Mobile telephony numbering===Georgian mobile operators receive their number allocations in blocks of 1 million numbers, hence the first three digits usually indicate the original mobile network providing the number. However, since mobile number portability was introduced in Georgia on 15 February 2011, the links are no longer certain. Telephone prefixes originally distributed to mobile operators are listed below.On 20 June 2011, the digit '''5''' was added to the prefixes for mobile operators. For example, prefix 77 was changed to '''5'''77.Code Operator Code Operator511MagtiCom577Silknet ''Geocell''514Silknet ''Geocell''578Silknet ''S1''551MagtiCom ''Bani''579Cellfie555Silknet ''Geocell''591MagtiCom557592Cellfie558593Silknet ''Geocell''559Datahouse Global595MagtiCom568Cellfie596MagtiCom ''Bali''570Silknet ''S1''597Cellfie571Cellfie598MagtiCom ''Bali''574599MagtiComIn addition, the mobile operator Aquafon operating in Abkhazia and using the Russian (+7) 9409 code can also be reached using the Georgian code (+995) 544.===Fixed wireless numbering===On 27 June 2011, prefixes for fixed wireless telephony changed: digit '''7''' have been added to the prefix. For example, prefix 90 have been changed to '''7'''90.Prefix  Operator 790  MagtiFix (Magticom) 791  Silknet
