Armenia Country Code +374
Armenia uses country code +374 with a closed national numbering plan. In most cases, phone numbers are written as +374 XX XXXXXX: a two- or three-digit area or mobile code followed by a six-digit subscriber number.
The capital Yerevan (area code 10) concentrates government, finance and the country’s fast-growing tech/start-up scene. Calls to Armenia often relate to IT outsourcing, diaspora family links (Russia, France, US, Middle East), and tourism around Lake Sevan, Dilijan and the country’s monasteries.
Armenia at a glance for callers
Where you’ll see +374 in practice
Country code +374 appears on everything from Yerevan tech companies and software outsourcers to freight forwarders moving goods along the Caucasus corridor and tour operators running cultural trips and hiking tours.
- IT & BPO firms listing +374 10 and +374 33/43/44 numbers on websites and job ads.
- Exporters of brandy, wine, dried fruit and jewelry using +374 contacts on invoices and packaging.
- Hotels and guesthouses in Yerevan, Dilijan, Tsaghkadzor and around Lake Sevan sharing +374 mobiles for calls and messaging apps.
If you see +374 10 …, that’s usually Yerevan. Other prefixes like +374 26 / 43 / 55 / 77 / 91 / 93 / 95 / 98 / 99 are commonly used for regional fixed lines and mobile operators.
Language & communication style
- Armenian (Հայերեն) is the official language; Russian is widely understood, especially among older generations.
- English is common in IT, tourism and among younger professionals, but not guaranteed everywhere.
- Viber, WhatsApp and Telegram are heavily used alongside regular voice calls and SMS.
- For formal business, email plus a fixed or mobile number is standard; many SMEs publish a single mobile for both calls and messaging.
When you first contact an Armenian partner, clarify which app they prefer for quick follow-ups (Viber/WhatsApp/Telegram) and make sure to save that +374 number in international format.
Armenia phone number structure (+374)
Armenia uses a closed plan with most standard numbers having an 8-digit national significant number (NSN). A typical national number is: a 2- or 3-digit area or mobile code plus a 5- or 6-digit subscriber number.
Landline patterns
Domestic long-distance: 0 10 XXXXXX
- 10 – area code for Yerevan fixed lines.
- NSN length: 8 digits (2-digit area code + 6-digit subscriber) in most cases.
- Example: local number printed as 10 123456.
- From abroad this becomes +374 10 123456, while inside Armenia from another region you dial 0 10 123456.
Other cities and regions use their own 2- or 3-digit geographic codes, but the total national number (area code + subscriber) stays 8 digits for standard fixed and mobile lines.

The national numbering plan is regulated by Armenia’s Ministry of High-Tech Industry and follows ITU-T E.164 rules for international dialing.
Common landline area codes (examples)
| Code | City / region | Example landline |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Yerevan | +374 10 123456 |
| 26 | Gyumri (example) | +374 26 234567 |
| 47 | Fixed lines in Nagorno-Karabakh / Artsakh (legacy) | +374 47 234567 |
The full list of regional codes is longer; for applications you typically just need to validate that the overall structure matches +374 + 8 digits and that the leading block is a valid geographic or service code.
Mobile prefixes & operators
Mobile services share the +374 country code but use distinct 2-digit prefixes managed by Armenia’s main operators:
| Prefix (+374) | Likely operator | Example mobile |
|---|---|---|
| 91 / 96 / 99 / 33 / 43 / 97 | Team Telecom Armenia (Telecom Armenia) | +374 91 234567 |
| 93 / 94 / 77 / 98 | Viva-MTS | +374 93 765432 |
| 55 / 95 / 41 / 44 / 66 / 50 | Ucom | +374 55 123456 |
Since mobile number portability exists, the prefix tells you the original operator, but the subscriber may have moved to another carrier while keeping the same number.
How to dial phone numbers in Armenia
To call Armenia you combine your international prefix, the country code +374, and the 8-digit national number. For mobiles there is no extra digit like “9” (unlike some Latin American plans): you just use the mobile prefix plus the subscriber number.
From abroad → Armenian landline
- Dial your country’s international prefix (e.g. 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most of Europe).
- Dial 374 for Armenia.
- Dial the 2- or 3-digit area code (e.g. 10 for Yerevan) – without the domestic trunk 0.
- Dial the 5- or 6-digit subscriber number.
Example: calling a Yerevan office at 10 123456 from the US → 011 374 10 123456, or +374 10 123456 on a mobile.
From abroad → Armenian mobile
- Start with your international prefix (011, 00, +, etc.).
- Add 374 (Armenia).
- Add the 2-digit mobile code (e.g. 91, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 55, 77).
- Add the remaining 6-digit subscriber number.
Example: mobile written locally as 093 765456 → from France you dial 00 374 93 765456.
Dialing inside Armenia
- Local call within same city (landline): dial the subscriber number only (e.g. 123456 in Yerevan).
- Domestic long-distance landline: 0 + area code + subscriber (e.g. 0 26 234567).
- Domestic mobile call: 0 + mobile prefix + subscriber (e.g. 0 93 765456).
The trunk prefix 0 is used only inside Armenia; when dialing from abroad you always remove it and replace it with +374.
Practical dialing tips
- Many Armenians publish their numbers with leading 0. Always strip the 0 when you store or dial in international format.
- In CRMs or validation tools, it’s safest to normalise numbers to +374XXXXXXXX (plus optional spaces for display).
- Messaging apps generally work if you save the number with +374 and no trunk 0.
Time in Armenia (AMT, UTC+4)
Armenia observes a single time zone, Armenia Time (AMT), which is UTC+4. The country does not use daylight saving time, so the UTC offset stays +4 all year.
Time zone overview
| Zone | Abbreviation | UTC offset | DST? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Armenia Time | AMT | UTC+4 | No daylight saving time |
Armenia discontinued daylight saving time in 2012; clocks no longer “spring forward” in March or “fall back” in autumn.
Typical time differences
- London: usually +4 hours (Armenia ahead) during UK winter, and +3 hours during UK summer.
- Central Europe (Berlin, Paris): typically +3 hours ahead of CET in winter, +2 hours ahead of CEST in summer.
- Moscow: generally same time (UTC+3 vs UTC+4 depending on Russian DST history, but currently 1 hour difference or equal depending on policies).
- New York: roughly +8 hours (Armenia ahead) most of the year.
For sales or support calls, Armenia’s workday overlaps well with both Europe and the Middle East; overlap with North America is mainly in Armenia’s late afternoon / evening.
Emergency numbers in Armenia
Key emergency short codes
Armenia supports both a unified emergency number and traditional 1xx service-specific codes:
- General emergency / rescue: 112 or 911
- Fire brigade: 101
- Police: 102
- Ambulance / medical emergencies: 103
- Gas leaks: 104
Visitors are usually advised to remember 112 or 911 and then use 101 / 102 / 103 for fire, police or ambulance if the operator directs them.
Other helpful hotlines
• Road police: 177
• Yerevan Emergency Management Center: 108
• Various government helplines and social services have their own 1xx short codes.
For consular assistance (lost passport, serious accident, arrest), foreign nationals should contact their embassy in Yerevan; most provide 24/7 emergency contact numbers on their websites.
Example: calling +374 numbers from abroad
These examples use realistic formats. Replace the sample digits with the actual number you need to dial.

00 374 93 765456
00 (France international prefix) + 374 (Armenia) + 93 (Viva-MTS mobile code) + 765456 (subscriber).
Russia → Yerevan mobile (Team Telecom Armenia)
8 10 374 91 234567

FAQ: Armenia country code & dialing
Is +374 a European or Asian country code? +
The ITU assigns +374 to Armenia, which lies in the South Caucasus between Europe and Asia. In many telecom and political classifications Armenia is grouped with Europe, but for practical dialing purposes it’s simply “country code +374” – there’s no difference in how you dial compared with other +3x or +7x codes.
How many digits are in an Armenian phone number? +
Most standard Armenian phone numbers have an 8-digit national number (NSN) after +374. That applies to both fixed and mobile services:
- Landlines: 2-digit area code (e.g. 10) + 6-digit subscriber.
- Mobiles: 2-digit mobile prefix (e.g. 91, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 55, 77…) + 6-digit subscriber.
Some special or legacy services may differ, but for normal business and personal numbers, validating +374XXXXXXXX is usually enough.
Do I dial 010 or 10 for Yerevan from abroad? +
From abroad you never dial the trunk 0. If a number is printed as 010 123456, that means:
- Inside Armenia: 0 10 123456
- From abroad: +374 10 123456
So always remove the first 0 when converting Armenian numbers to international format.
What about +374 47 and +374 97 numbers? +
Codes such as 47 and 97 have historically been used for fixed and mobile services in the Nagorno-Karabakh / Artsakh region under the +374 country code. If you work with older contact lists you may still see +374 47 or +374 97 numbers.
Because the political and regulatory situation has changed over time, always confirm with your telecom provider whether specific +374 47/97 numbers remain reachable or have been migrated.
Is +374 a risky / spammy country code? +
Most +374 calls are completely legitimate – from businesses, family members in the diaspora, logistics companies, hotels, etc. Like any international code, it can also appear in spam or missed-call scams.
- Be cautious about calling back unknown +374 numbers that ring once and hang up.
- Verify bank or payment requests via official websites and known contacts.
- For ongoing partnerships, save trusted +374 contacts and ignore unsolicited calls that look suspicious.
