2004-2005 - national renumbering

For calls into Mongolia, a carrier selection code digit immediately follows country code +976:

The carrier selection code digit is:

• 1: Mongolia TeleCom (MT)
• 2: Mongolian Railway Authority (MRA)

Within Mongolia, 01+ trunk prefix followd by area code and subscriber number is used to reach Mongolia Telecom numbers. 02+ is used in a similar manner to dial Mongolia Railway Authority numbers.

Area code digits will be as follows, where C represents the carrier selection digit 1 or 2 as dialled from outside Mongolia:

Region/service                Area code format
==============                ================
Capital region - Ulaanbaatar     +976 C 1 ...
Capital region - Suburban        +976 C 2 ...
Central and Northern regions     +976 C 3 ...
Western region                   +976 C 4 ...
Eastern region                   +976 C 5 ...
Mobile                           +976 9 ...

Only Ulaanbaatar will be based on a single-digit area code (+976 C 1).

The only new format 2-digit geographic area code assigned is for Baganuur (+976 C 21).

Mobile numbers will be based on 2-digit area codes.

Mongolia is divided into Aimags (provinces) - the aimag centre (provincial capital) will have 3-digit area codes, with third digit '2' (e.g. +976 332 for Arkhangai's capital Tsetserleg City).

4-digit area codes will be for smaller ("Sumun") centres within the Aimag.

The following are the 2004-2005 area code changes:

18 November 2000 - national renumbering

• 001+ became the international prefix from Mongolia (formerly 00+)
• For calls into Mongolia, a carrier selection code digit follows country code 976, before the area code and subscriber number.
• There was no permissive period for the change. New numbering took immediate effect, without parallel operation of the old numbering plan.
