Overview of Albania's Geographic Code +355 282
Country calling code +355 is assigned to Albania under the ITU-T E.164 international numbering plan. The national destination code (NDC) 282 is a geographic area code that routes calls to the Lezhë region, specifically the municipalities of Kallmet, Blinisht, Dajç, and Ungrej. These areas are part of Lezhë County in northwestern Albania, near the Adriatic coast and the Drin River delta. The code is administered by the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (AKEP) and is allocated to fixed-line PSTN services.
Geographic Coverage and Local Significance
The +355 282 prefix serves a predominantly rural and semi-urban district. Kallmet is known for its agricultural landscape, while Blinisht and Dajç are smaller administrative units with tight-knit communities. Ungrej, located further inland, is noted for its historical and cultural heritage. The area is not a major commercial hub, but it maintains essential fixed-line connectivity for residential and business users. Local calls within the 282 area are dialed using only the subscriber number, typically 5 to 7 digits in length, without the trunk prefix.
Dialing Formats and Instructions
For callers within Albania, the national trunk prefix is 0. To call a number in the 282 area from another Albanian city, dial: 0 282 XXX XXX. For example, a local number 456 789 would be dialed as 0 282 456 789 from Tirana or any other region.
For international callers, the format is: +355 282 XXX XXX. For instance, to reach the same number from abroad, dial +355 282 456 789. The leading '0' of the national trunk prefix is omitted when using the international format.
When dialing from a mobile phone within Albania, the same national format applies: 0 282 XXX XXX. Mobile users should note that Albanian mobile numbers have their own prefixes (e.g., 066, 067, 068, 069) and are not part of the geographic 282 numbering area.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
Albania has not implemented overlay codes for the 282 area; the code remains exclusive to the Lezhë region. Number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when changing operators, but the geographic significance of the prefix is preserved. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and AKEP ensure that the +355 282 code adheres to the E.164 standard, guaranteeing global interoperability. For businesses, having a local 282 number can enhance trust and accessibility for customers in the region, even if the service is provided over VoIP or other modern technologies.
