📍 Geographic Location of Koplik
Overview of Albania's +355 211 Geographic Prefix
The +355 211 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Koplik area, the administrative center of the Malësi e Madhe District in northwestern Albania. Koplik is situated near the border with Montenegro, approximately 25 kilometers north of Shkodër. This prefix is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the Koplik exchange area, which includes the town and its surrounding villages.
Dialing Format and Usage
When calling a landline in Koplik from within Albania, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the NDC 211, and then the subscriber's 4-digit local number. The complete national format is 0 211 XXXX, totaling 8 digits (excluding the leading 0). For example, a local number might appear as 0 211 4521.
For international callers, the leading 0 is omitted, and the country code +355 is used. The international format is +355 211 XXXX. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +355 211 4521 from outside Albania.
It is important to note that Albanian fixed-line numbers are not portable to other geographic areas; they are tied to the physical location of the exchange. Therefore, the 211 prefix reliably indicates that the subscriber is located in the Koplik area.
