Geographic Coverage and Administrative Context
The 561 prefix specifically serves the fixed-line telephone network in Mamurras and its immediate surroundings. The Kurbin District, with its administrative center in Laç, is known for its agricultural production and proximity to the port of Durrës.

Dialing Formats and Usage
To call a fixed-line number in Mamurras, the standard national format is 0 561 XXX XXX, where the leading '0' is the trunk prefix used within Albania.

Caller Instructions
For domestic callers outside the Mamurras area, dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and subscriber number. For international callers, replace the '0' with the country code +355. When dialing from a mobile phone within Albania, the same trunk prefix rules apply. No overlay codes are currently in effect for this region, so the 561 code is the sole geographic code for Mamurras. Ensure you have the correct subscriber number, as misdialing may route to another location.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
As with all geographic codes in Albania, the 561 prefix is allocated for fixed-line services, which may include PSTN and VoIP services that are tied to a physical address. Number portability is available, meaning a subscriber may retain their number even if they change service providers, but the geographic association remains. For emergency services, always dial 112 regardless of the area code.
