📍 Geographic Location of Orhei
Geographic Overview
The area code 235 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Orhei district in the Republic of Moldova. Orhei is a significant administrative and cultural center located approximately 40 kilometers north of the capital, Chișinău. The code covers the city of Orhei and the surrounding localities within the district, including rural communities and smaller towns. As a geographic code, it routes calls to fixed-line telephones connected to the PSTN in that specific region.
Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Orhei, you must use the appropriate format depending on your location.
- Within Moldova (domestic call): Dial 0 235 XXX XXX. The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used to access the national network. The number length after the trunk prefix is 9 digits (including the NDC).
- From abroad (international call): Dial your country's international exit code, then +373 235 XXX XXX. The '+373' is Moldova's country calling code, and the '235' is the area code. Do not include the domestic trunk prefix '0' when calling from outside Moldova.
Numbering Details
Subscriber numbers in the Orhei area code are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a complete national significant number (NSN) of 9 digits (0 235 XXX XXX). The prefix is allocated to fixed-line services, and numbers are used by residential, business, and government subscribers. As with all geographic codes in Moldova, the assignment is based on the physical location of the telephone line, not the service provider.
Overlay and Dialing Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for the Orhei area. The 235 code is unique to the region, and local calls within the same area code can be made using the 6-digit subscriber number without dialing the area code, depending on the operator's local dialing rules. However, for calls from other regions in Moldova, the full national format (0 235 XXX XXX) is required.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Orhei): If your operator supports local dialing, you may dial only the 6-digit subscriber number. Otherwise, use the full national format.
- Callers from other Moldovan cities: Always dial 0 235 followed by the subscriber number.
- International callers: Use the international format +373 235 XXX XXX. Ensure you replace the '+' with your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries).
Always verify the exact subscriber number with the recipient, as numbers in Moldova are subject to change due to number portability and renumbering.
