Telephone numbers in Georgia consist of 9 digits and follow a closed numbering plan in which the initial 2 or 3 digits indicate the service or area code (in case of geographic numbers) and the remaining 7 or 6 digits identify the subscriber.
The current dialling plan has been in force since 4 June 2011, when there was a wide-ranging reform. 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 make a total of 9 digits. 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 - MagtiCom, fixed mobile operator |
| 8XX | Toll free and shared-cost numbers. E.g., 800 |
| 9XX | Premium-cost numbers |
Since 1 March 2011, area codes have changed and the first digit came to indicate the respective part of the country: numbers start with 3 for eastern Georgia and with 4 for western Georgia. The current area codes are as follows:
| Code | Area | Code | Area | Code | Area |

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.
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 |
0 + Destination area code [2 or 3 digits] + Subscriber's phone number [6 or 7 digits]
For example, to call a landline phone in Tbilisi:
xxx xxxx (within Tbilisi)
0 - 32 - xxx xxxx (within Georgia)
+995 - 32 - xxx xxxx (from abroad)
0 + Subscriber's number [9 digits]
To dial a mobile number, for example a Magticom number:
595 + xxx xxx (from mobile network)
0 + 595 + xxx xxx (within Georgia, from landlines)
Originating country's international code + 995 (code for Georgia) - 595 - xxx xxx (from abroad)
