What the City Association Means
Karachi is associated with PTA geographic NDC 21, displayed domestically as 021.
A PTA number plan area usually corresponds to a district or grouped districts, not an exact city boundary or a caller’s present location. Mobile, toll-free, universal-access and short-code ranges are non-geographic. Number portability, call forwarding and internet telephony also prevent reliable subscriber or current-carrier identification from an area code. Geographic labels for Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan reproduce the terminology in the official PTA numbering plan and do not resolve territorial-status questions.
