📍 Geographic Location of Gostime/Klos/Mollas, Elbasan
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The area code 587 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Albanian numbering plan, allocated to the Elbasan region. Specifically, it serves the municipalities of Gostimë, Klos, and Mollas, which are part of the Elbasan County in central Albania. These localities are situated in the Shkumbin River valley, east of the city of Elbasan, and are characterized by a mix of residential communities and agricultural activity. The administrative authority for this area falls under the Elbasan Regional Council, which oversees local telecommunications infrastructure and public services.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For callers within Albania, the national trunk prefix 0 must be dialed before the area code. Thus, a local call to a subscriber in Gostimë, Klos, or Mollas would use the format: 0 587 XXX XXX. For example, to reach a landline number in Klos, you would dial 0587 123 456. Note that the subscriber number is typically seven digits in length, but the total number of digits after the trunk prefix is nine (including the NDC).
For international callers, the Albanian country code +355 replaces the trunk prefix. Therefore, the international dialing format becomes +355 587 XXX XXX. For instance, a caller from abroad would dial +355 587 123 456 to reach the same subscriber. It is important to omit the leading 0 when dialing from outside Albania.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the current numbering plan, there is no overlay code for the Elbasan region; the 587 code is exclusive to the specified municipalities. However, subscribers in this area may also have numbers under the broader Elbasan area code 54, which serves the city of Elbasan and its immediate surroundings. When dialing within the same area code, callers may omit the trunk prefix and area code in some local networks, but this practice is not standardized across all operators. For clarity, it is recommended to always use the full national or international format.
Geographic numbers in Albania are primarily used for fixed-line PSTN services, though some VoIP providers may also assign numbers with geographic NDCs. Callers should be aware that rates for calls to geographic numbers are typically lower than those to mobile or premium services.
