Geographic Overview
The +359 379 numbering block is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Svilengrad telephone exchange area in the Republic of Bulgaria.

Dialing Formats
For domestic calls within Bulgaria, the trunk prefix '0' is dialed before the area code, followed by the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 379 XXX XXX, where '0' is the trunk code, '379' is the area code, and the subscriber number typically consists of six digits. For example, a local number might be 0 379 45 67 89.
For international callers, the country code +359 is used instead of the trunk prefix, and the leading '0' is omitted. The international format is +359 379 XXX XXX. For instance, to call a Svilengrad number from abroad, one would dial +359 379 45 67 89.
Geographic Significance
As a geographic code, +359 379 is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line telephone service. It is used for PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) landlines, and increasingly for VoIP services that are registered to a physical address in the area. The code is not portable outside the Svilengrad exchange area, meaning that if a subscriber moves to another part of Bulgaria, they must obtain a new local number with the appropriate area code.
