📍 Geographic Location of Panevėžys
Geographic Overview
The +370 45 area code is the geographic National Destination Code (NDC) for the city of Panevėžys and its surrounding district in north-central Lithuania. Panevėžys is the fifth-largest city in the country and serves as the administrative center of the Panevėžys County. The area code covers the urban territory of Panevėžys as well as several neighboring towns and villages within the Panevėžys District Municipality, including notable settlements such as Ramygala and Naujamiestis. The region is an important industrial and cultural hub, with a well-developed fixed-line telecommunications infrastructure operated primarily by Telia Lietuva and alternative carriers.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Panevėžys from abroad, the international format is used: +370 45 XXX XXX (or +37045XXXXXX when written without spaces). The total number length after the country code is eight digits, with the NDC '45' followed by a six-digit subscriber number. For domestic calls within Lithuania, callers must dial the trunk prefix '0' before the area code: 0 45 XXX XXX. However, within the Panevėžys local calling area, it is possible to dial only the six-digit subscriber number without the area code, provided the call originates from a fixed-line phone in the same geographic exchange. Mobile phone users in Lithuania must always dial the full national number (0 45 XXX XXX) even when calling from within the area.
Numbering and Overlays
Lithuania's numbering plan is closed, meaning that all national numbers have a fixed length and the trunk prefix '0' is always required for domestic long-distance calls. The Panevėžys area code is not subject to an overlay; it is the sole geographic code for the region. Subscriber numbers are allocated in blocks to local operators, and number portability allows users to retain their numbers when switching providers, though the geographic significance of the code remains tied to the original location.
Caller Instructions
For international callers, the sequence is: International Prefix + 370 + 45 + Subscriber Number. For example, to call a Panevėžys fixed line with the number 456789, you would dial +370 45 456789 from any country. Lithuanian callers outside the area should dial 0 45 456789. If you are within Panevėžys and the call is local, simply dial 456789. Always confirm the subscriber number length, as six digits are standard for this area code.
