Numbering and Overlays

Subscriber numbers within the 3112 range typically have a length of 5 to 7 digits, depending on the specific allocation. As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, Bulgaria has not implemented overlay codes for this region; the 3112 code remains exclusive to Markovo and its immediate vicinity. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers if they change providers, which may result in a number being served by a different operator than originally assigned.

For local callers within Markovo or the Plovdiv area, dialing the full national format (including the trunk prefix) is mandatory, as Bulgaria uses open dialing for all geographic numbers. For international callers, it is essential to omit the leading zero of the area code. For example, to call a Markovo number from the United States, one would dial 011 359 3112 4XXXX. Calls to this geographic prefix are typically charged at standard national or international landline rates, depending on the caller's location and tariff plan.
