Numbering plan

Summarize
Perspective

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:

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.[1] For example, prefix 77 was changed to 577.
