📍 Geographic Location of Aburi
Geographic Overview
The +233 3428 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Aburi area in Ghana's Eastern Region. Aburi, located approximately 30 kilometers north of Accra, is a historic hill town known for its botanical gardens and cooler climate. This code covers the Aburi municipality and its immediate surroundings, including settlements such as Peduase and Kitase. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the Akuapim North District, and the code is managed by the National Communications Authority (NCA) of Ghana.
Dialing Formats
To call a landline in Aburi from within Ghana, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix '0', followed by the NDC '3428' and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. The complete national format is 0 3428 XXX XX (where X represents the local digits). For example, a local number might be dialed as 03428 12345.
For international callers, the country code for Ghana (+233) replaces the leading '0'. The international format becomes +233 3428 XXX XX. For instance, to reach the same number from abroad, one would dial +233 3428 12345. It is crucial to omit the initial '0' when dialing from outside Ghana.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Aburi or other parts of Ghana should always use the full national format, including the trunk prefix '0', even when dialing from a mobile phone. Failure to include the '0' may result in a failed call. Foreign callers must replace the '0' with the +233 country code. The same rules apply for both landline and mobile calls to this geographic number.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest NCA updates, there are no overlay codes for the Aburi area; the 3428 NDC remains exclusive to this region. However, subscribers should be aware that number portability allows users to retain their numbers when switching between fixed-line operators, but the geographic significance of the code remains tied to the original location. The number length is fixed at 9 digits after the country code (including the NDC), in line with Ghana's national numbering plan.
For businesses or residents in Aburi, having a local geographic number can enhance local trust and accessibility. When contacting Aburi numbers from abroad, always verify the current dialing procedures with your telecom provider, as international call routing may vary.
