2002 - new numbering plan
Afghanistan's telephone system is being standardised to 2-digit area codes and 6-digit subscriber numbers (excluding trunk prefix and country code). Former 1-digit area codes are converted to 2-digit codes. Kabul is to be assigned area codes 20 through 25, although it was unclear which area codes would be assigned from existing subscriber numbers under Kabul's previous area code 2.
The new numbering plan includes 4-digit short codes of the form 1xxx.
Reference: numbering document available through ITU (January 2001).
Other Information
Regulator is Afghanistan Telecom Regulatory Authority. The overseeing ministry is Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
Through the 1990s, the subscriber Number was found to be 5 digits in Kabul, unknown format elsewhere.
Direct dialling to Afghanistan was limited from many nations. As of 2002, Kabul and Kandahar were accessible from dial networks, with other cities expected to be accessible in subsequent months. Re-establishment of government and civil functions in Afghanistan since 2002 has restored telecom access and a regulatory environment.
