Area Code 365 – Negara/Gilimanuk

Overview of Area Code 365 (Negara/Gilimanuk)

Area code 365 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Indonesian numbering plan, assigned to the western part of the island of Bali, specifically the administrative regency of Jembrana and its principal towns of Negara and the port of Gilimanuk. This region serves as the primary gateway between Bali and Java via the Ketapang–Gilimanuk ferry crossing.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 365 area code covers the entire Jembrana Regency, which includes the districts of Negara, Mendoyo, Jembrana, and Pekutatan. The main administrative and commercial center is Negara, located approximately 90 kilometers west of Denpasar. Gilimanuk, situated at the western tip of Bali, is a vital ferry terminal connecting to Banyuwangi in East Java. The area is known for its scenic coastline, the West Bali National Park, and the traditional Bali Aga villages.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

To call a fixed-line number in the Negara/Gilimanuk area, the following formats apply:

• Local calls (within the same area code): Dial the subscriber number directly, which consists of 5 to 7 digits. For example, if the subscriber number is 45678, dial 45678.
• Domestic long-distance calls (from other Indonesian area codes): Dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 365, and then the subscriber number. For instance, to call a number in Negara from Jakarta, dial 0 365 45678.
• International calls (from outside Indonesia): Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then Indonesia’s country code 62, followed by the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. For example, from the United States, dial 011 62 365 45678 or +62 365 45678.

It is important to note that the leading zero in the area code is only used for domestic calls within Indonesia. When dialing from abroad, the zero is omitted.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 365 area. The subscriber numbers are typically 5 to 7 digits long, and the total length of a domestic number (including the area code) is 8 to 10 digits. As with all geographic codes in Indonesia, the numbering plan follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

Usage and Services

The 365 area code is used exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including traditional copper lines and some fixed-wireless access (FWA) services. It is not assigned to mobile networks, which use separate non-geographic prefixes. Businesses and residents in the area rely on these lines for daily communication, and the code is essential for routing calls correctly within the national and international networks.
