📍 Geographic Location of Vedrare
Geographic Overview
The +359 3138 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Vedrare and its immediate surrounding areas within Pazardzhik Province, south-central Bulgaria. This allocation follows the ITU-T E.164 international numbering standard and the national numbering plan administered by the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) of Bulgaria. Vedrare is a small settlement located in the western part of the Thracian Plain, near the Sredna Gora mountain range, and is administratively part of the Panagyurishte Municipality. The area is primarily residential and agricultural, with local businesses and public services relying on fixed-line PSTN connectivity.
Dialing Formats and Usage
For callers within Bulgaria, the prefix is dialed in the national format as 03138 followed by the subscriber number. The complete national number typically comprises 7 to 8 digits, including the leading zero. For international callers, the full E.164 format is +359 3138 followed by the local subscriber number, omitting the leading zero. For example, a local number might be dialed as 03138 12345 from within Bulgaria, and as +359 3138 12345 from abroad.
This is a geographic code, meaning the tariff structure is based on the caller's location. Calls from other fixed lines within Bulgaria are charged at standard national rates, while calls from mobile networks may incur higher termination charges. International calls are billed according to the operator's roaming and international rates.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest CRC updates, there is no overlay code for the Vedrare area, and the 03138 prefix is exclusively used for fixed-line services. Subscriber numbers are typically 5 to 6 digits long after the prefix, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 8 to 9 digits, including the trunk prefix. The CRC has not announced any plans for number exhaustion in this region, given the low population density.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Vedrare can often dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. Foreign callers should replace the leading zero with the +359 country code. For example, to call a business in Vedrare from the United States, one would dial 011 359 3138 12345.
When contacting emergency services from a fixed line in this area, dial the national emergency numbers 112 (general) or 150 (medical), which are valid throughout Bulgaria.
