0484

0484 is the Indian telephone area code used for Kochi, a major port city in the state of Kerala. In common usage, the area code is written as 484; the leading 0 is a trunk prefix used for domestic long-distance dialing within India. This code covers Kochi and surrounding urban areas serviced by the local telephone exchanges.

To call a Kochi landline from within India, a caller dials 0 484 followed by the local number. From outside India, the number is dialed as +91 484 followed by the local number. Local numbers are typically seven digits, but the exact length can vary by exchange.

Geographic scope: The 484 code serves the city of Kochi and nearby municipalities in Ernakulam district. The system is part of the broader Indian STD code scheme administered by the Department of Telecommunications.

Other uses: The string 0484 may also be encountered in contexts unrelated to telephony, such as a number in data records or as a numeric literal in programming; in computing languages that interpret a leading zero as an octal indicator, 0484 would be invalid because 8 is not an octal digit.
