Dialing Formats and Call Routing
For callers within Bulgaria, the local number is reached by dialing the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 3145 and the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 3145 XX XXX (typically 6 to 7 digits after the area code). For example, a local call to a subscriber number 12 34 56 would be dialed as 03145 12 34 56.
For international callers, the Bulgarian country code (+359) replaces the trunk prefix. The international format is +359 3145 XX XXX. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +359 3145 12 34 56 from abroad.

Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations

Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Bulgaria): Dial 03145 followed by the subscriber number. Ensure you include the trunk prefix '0'.
- International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 or +), then 359 (Bulgaria country code), then 3145, and the subscriber number. Do not include the '0' before 3145.
- Callers from mobile phones: The same rules apply as for fixed-line calls. Within Bulgaria, always use the full national number (0 3145...).
