Overview of Albania's Geographic Code 580
In Albania's national numbering plan, the prefix 580 is a geographic area code assigned to the municipalities of Përparim and Pajovë within the Peqin administrative district, located in the central region of the country. This code is part of the fixed-line PSTN network, serving residential and business subscribers in these localities. The area is characterized by its proximity to the Shkumbin River valley and its role as a connective hub between the coastal plain and the interior highlands.
Dialing Formats and Call Routing
When calling a fixed-line number in Përparim or Pajovë from within Albania, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code 580 and the subscriber's 4-digit local number. The complete national format is: 0 580 XXXX (e.g., 0 580 1234). For international callers, the country code for Albania is +355, and the leading '0' is omitted. Thus, the international dialing format becomes: +355 580 XXXX (e.g., +355 580 1234).
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Context
The 580 code covers the administrative units of Përparim and Pajovë, which are part of the Peqin Municipality in Elbasan County. These areas are primarily agricultural, with small towns and villages. The code is exclusively for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in Albania use distinct prefixes (e.g., 66, 67, 68, 69) and are not tied to geographic regions. The geographic nature of the 580 code means that calls are routed over the traditional circuit-switched PSTN or via VoIP services that respect geographic numbering, and the tariff structure may differ from national non-geographic numbers.
Caller Instructions and Practical Considerations
For local callers within the same area code, it is sometimes possible to dial only the subscriber number, but it is recommended to always use the full national format to avoid misdialing. For callers from other Albanian regions, the national format 0 580 XXXX is required. International callers should note that Albania uses the international dialing prefix 00 when calling from most countries, but this is replaced by the '+' sign in mobile phones. Always check with your service provider for any specific access codes. As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, there are no overlay codes for this area, and the 580 code remains the sole geographic identifier for these localities.
