Area Code 3527 – Yeji

Overview of Area Code 3527

Area code 3527 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Yeji and its surrounding localities within the Bono East Region of Ghana. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the National Communications Authority (NCA) under the ITU-T E.164 international standard. The geographic designation means that the code is tied to a specific physical exchange area, and calls to this code are routed to fixed-line PSTN infrastructure serving the Yeji district.

Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Yeji is the capital of the Pru East District in the Bono East Region, situated along the eastern bank of the Volta Lake. The 3527 code covers the town center and nearby communities, including surrounding farming and fishing villages that rely on the fixed-line network. The area is primarily served by Ghana Telecom (now Vodafone Ghana) and other licensed fixed-line operators, though the adoption of mobile telephony has reduced the density of landlines. The code is not overlaid with any other NDC, meaning that local calls within the Yeji exchange area do not require the area code when dialing between landlines in the same locality.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Ghana, the national dialing format for a Yeji fixed-line number is 03527 XXXXX, where '0' is the trunk prefix, '3527' is the NDC, and 'XXXXX' is the subscriber number (typically five digits). For example, a local number might be 03527 12345. When calling from abroad, the international format is +233 3527 XXXXX, omitting the leading '0'. For instance, an international caller would dial +233 3527 12345. It is important to note that the plus sign (+) represents the international access code, which varies by country (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries).

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Yeji): If you are calling from a landline within the same exchange area, you may dial only the subscriber number (XXXXX). However, due to the prevalence of mobile phones and VoIP services, it is safer to always include the area code and trunk prefix.
• National callers (from other regions in Ghana): Dial 03527 XXXXX from any mobile or fixed-line phone.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 233 3527 XXXXX. For example, from the UK, you would dial 00 233 3527 12345.

Always verify the number length, as some older lines may have fewer digits. If you encounter issues, contact your service provider for assistance.
