Why does Abohar Punjab India have telephone area code 01634?

Answer 1

Abohar, Punjab, uses India's telephone area code 01634, or +91 1634 in international format.

Telephone area codes (or STD codes) in India are assigned based on the size of the city or town, and based on the geographic zone in which the city or town is located. Large cities have area codes of only 3 digits (e.g., 022 for Mumbai or 011 for New Delhi); smaller cities and towns have successively longer codes. Codes beginning with 01 are located in the northern part of the country. Thus, Abohar has area code 01634.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
