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/Code	Description
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

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.

Code	Operator	Code	Operator
511	MagtiCom	577	Silknet Geocell
514	Silknet Geocell	578	Silknet S1
551	MagtiCom Bani	579	Cellfie
555	Silknet Geocell	591	MagtiCom
557		592	Cellfie
558		593	Silknet Geocell
559	Datahouse Global	595	MagtiCom
568	Cellfie	596	MagtiCom Bali
570	Silknet S1	597	Cellfie
571	Cellfie	598	MagtiCom Bali
574		599	MagtiCom

In 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:^[2] digit 7 have been added to the prefix. For example, prefix 90 have been changed to 790.

Prefix	Operator
790	MagtiFix (Magticom)
791	Silknet

 +995 - 595 - xxx xxx  (from abroad)
