Area Code 3101 – Voyvodinovo

Overview of Area Code 3101 (Voyvodinovo)

Area code 3101 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Bulgarian numbering plan, assigned to the town of Voyvodinovo and its immediate vicinity. Voyvodinovo is a village located in Plovdiv Province, south-central Bulgaria, approximately 12 kilometers east of the city of Plovdiv. The code is part of the Plovdiv regional numbering area, which is administered by the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) of Bulgaria.

Geographic area codes in Bulgaria are used for fixed-line (PSTN) services and are associated with a specific physical location. The 3101 code covers Voyvodinovo and possibly nearby smaller settlements, but it does not cover the city of Plovdiv itself, which uses the code 32. Subscribers within this area are typically served by local fixed-line operators, including the incumbent A1 Bulgaria (formerly Mtel) and alternative providers offering local loop services.

Dialing Formats

When calling a number in Voyvodinovo, the dialing format depends on the caller's location:

• National calls (within Bulgaria): Dial 0 3101 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber number). The leading 0 is the trunk prefix used for domestic calls.
• International calls (from abroad): Dial +359 3101 XXX XXX (or 00359 3101 XXX XXX from most countries). The +359 is Bulgaria's country calling code, and the leading 0 is omitted.

For example, a local number might be 03101 234 567 when dialed domestically, and +359 3101 234 567 when dialed from outside Bulgaria. Subscriber numbers in this area are typically 6 or 7 digits long, but the total number of digits after the country code is fixed at 8 (including the area code).

Caller Instructions

For callers within Bulgaria, it is essential to include the trunk prefix 0 before the area code when dialing from a different fixed-line or mobile network. For international callers, always drop the leading 0 and use the country code +359. Mobile phone users in Bulgaria can dial the full national number (including the 0) without any additional charges beyond standard rates.

As with all geographic codes in Bulgaria, number portability allows subscribers to retain their number when switching operators, but the geographic significance remains tied to the original location. There are no overlay codes currently in effect for the 3101 area, meaning that the area code is unique to Voyvodinovo and does not share with other towns.
