📍 Geographic Location of Ada
Geographic Overview
The area code 3035 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Ada district in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Ada, located along the southeastern coast where the Volta River meets the Atlantic Ocean, is known for its beaches, estuaries, and the Ada Foah community. The code serves the administrative capital, Ada Foah, and surrounding towns such as Big Ada, Kasseh, and Anyakpor. As part of Ghana's national numbering plan, this code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the district.
Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Ada from within Ghana, subscribers dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code and the subscriber's local number. For example, a local number might be dialed as 030 35XX XXX. When calling from outside Ghana, the international access code (typically 00 or +) is used, followed by Ghana's country code +233, then the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. Thus, an international caller would dial +233 30 35XX XXX.
Numbering Plan and Overlays
Ghana's numbering plan was revised in 2010 to increase capacity. The current format for geographic numbers is 0NDC + subscriber number, where the NDC is two digits (e.g., 30 for parts of Greater Accra) followed by a two-digit exchange code (35 for Ada) and a seven-digit subscriber number. There are no overlay codes in Ada; the 3035 code is unique to the district. However, due to mobile penetration, fixed-line usage is limited, and many businesses and residents rely on mobile services.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers within Ghana must always include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing a fixed-line number in Ada, even if calling from a nearby district.
