📍 Geographic Location of Bari
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The Italian country calling code +39 prefix 080 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Bari, in the Puglia region of southeastern Italy. The numbering area encompasses the city of Bari (the regional capital) and its metropolitan area, including the municipalities of Modugno, Bitonto, Palo del Colle, and several other towns within the province. The area is served by both fixed-line PSTN and VoIP operators, with numbers typically 9 or 10 digits long when dialed internationally (including the leading '0').
Dialing Formats and Instructions
For local callers within Italy, the complete national significant number (NSN) must be dialed, including the trunk prefix '0'. For example, to reach a Bari landline, dial: 080 123 4567. The '0' is an integral part of the number and must always be included, even when calling from a mobile phone within Italy. For international callers, the Italian country code +39 replaces the trunk prefix. Thus, the same number is dialed as +39 080 1234567 from abroad. Note that the leading '0' is retained after the country code, which is a distinctive feature of Italian numbering.
Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations
Currently, no overlay code has been introduced for the Bari area; the 080 code is exclusive to this geographic region. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their 080 numbers when switching between fixed-line operators, including VoIP providers. As a result, a number with the 080 prefix may not necessarily be physically located in Bari, as it could be routed via a VoIP service. Despite this, the code remains officially designated as a geographic code for the Bari province.
Caller Guidance
When calling from outside Italy, always replace the initial '0' with the international access code of your country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada) followed by 39 and then the full national number including the '0'. For example, from the US, you would dial: 011 39 080 1234567. From a mobile phone, you can simply use the + symbol: +39 080 1234567. Always verify the number length, as Italian fixed-line numbers can vary between 8 and 11 digits total (including the '0'), depending on the specific subscriber line.
