📍 Geographic Location of Berat
Overview of Albania's +355 32 Geographic Code
The international dialing code +355 32 is the geographic area code assigned to the city of Berat and its surrounding administrative region in south-central Albania. Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage site known as its well-preserved Ottoman architecture, is the capital of the Berat County. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) telephone services within this area, following the ITU-T E.164 international numbering standard.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
The +355 32 code covers the municipality of Berat, including the towns of Ura Vajgurore, Kuçovë, and other nearby localities within the Berat District. The Albanian Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (AKEP) administers this numbering range, allocating blocks to fixed-line operators such as Albtelecom and other alternative carriers. As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical location of the subscriber's line, although VoIP services may also use it for virtual numbers.
Dialing Formats and Instructions
When calling a Berat fixed-line number, the format varies depending on the caller's origin:
- Domestic calls (within Albania): Dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 32 and the subscriber's 7-digit number. Example: 0 32 XXX XXXX.
- International calls (from abroad): Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile), then Albania's country code 355, followed by the area code 32 (without the leading 0) and the 7-digit number. Example: +355 32 XXX XXXX.
For instance, a local number in Berat might be formatted as 032 234 567 domestically, while international callers would dial +355 32 234 567.
Important Considerations for Callers
When dialing from abroad, always omit the leading '0' of the area code. From a mobile phone within Albania, you can dial the full domestic format (including the '0') or use the international format with +355, depending on your carrier's settings. Fixed-line numbers in Berat are typically 9 digits in length when including the area code (0+32+7 digits). Be aware that number portability allows subscribers to retain their number when switching operators, but geographic numbers generally remain associated with the Berat area.
