Overview of Area Code 3566

Area code 3566 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned within the Bulgarian numbering plan, as administered by the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC) under ITU-T E.164 guidelines. It serves the town of Boshulya and its immediate surroundings, located in the Pazardzhik Province of southern Bulgaria. This code is part of the 03xxx series used for fixed-line services in the Pazardzhik region.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 3566 code covers Boshulya and nearby villages within the municipality of Pazardzhik. The area is characterized by a mix of residential and agricultural zones, with local telecommunications infrastructure supporting both PSTN and VoIP services. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the Pazardzhik District, and the code is allocated to fixed-line operators licensed to provide services in this region.

Dialing Formats

For local callers within Bulgaria, the number is dialed as 03566XXXXX, where the leading '0' is the trunk prefix. The full national significant number (NSN) is 8 digits, comprising the NDC (3566) and a 4-digit subscriber number. For international callers, the number is dialed as +3593566XXXXX, omitting the trunk prefix. For example, a local call to a subscriber number 1234 would be dialed as 035661234, while an international caller would dial +35935661234.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 3566 area, meaning that local calls within Boshulya do not require an area code. However, callers from other Bulgarian regions must include the trunk prefix and area code. The numbering plan follows the standard Bulgarian format, and number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators within the same geographic area.

Caller Instructions

  • Local callers (within Boshulya): Dial the 4-digit subscriber number directly.
  • National callers (outside Boshulya): Dial 03566 followed by the subscriber number.
  • International callers: Dial the Bulgarian country code +359, then 3566, and the subscriber number.

When calling from a mobile phone, the same national format applies, but the leading '0' may be omitted depending on the mobile operator's settings; it is always safe to use the international format +3593566... for clarity.
