📍 Geographic Location of Cimislia
Overview of Area Code +373 241
Area code 241 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Republic of Moldova's national numbering plan, governed by the National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Regulation (ANRCETI). It serves the Cimișlia District, located in the southern part of the country. The administrative center, the city of Cimișlia, along with surrounding communes and villages, is covered by this code.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
Cimișlia District borders the districts of Hîncești, Ialoveni, Căușeni, Basarabeasca, and Gagauzia (ATU). The area is predominantly agricultural, with the city of Cimișlia acting as the regional hub for public services, commerce, and local administration. Fixed-line telephony services in this region are provided by the national incumbent operator Moldtelecom, which holds the concession for the fixed PSTN network.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line number in Cimișlia, the subscriber number is 5 digits long. The full national (trunk) format is 0 241 XX XXX, where the leading 0 is the trunk prefix used for domestic calls within Moldova. For international callers, the country code +373 replaces the trunk prefix, resulting in the format +373 241 XX XXX.
Examples:
- Local call within Moldova (from another district): dial 0 241 2 34 56.
- International call from abroad: dial +373 241 2 34 56 (or your country's international prefix, e.g., 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most European countries).
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Cimișlia: In many cases, local calls within the same area code may be dialed using only the 5-digit subscriber number, depending on the operator's dialing plan. However, to avoid errors, it is recommended to use the full national format 0 241 XX XXX for all calls outside your local exchange.
For international callers: Always omit the trunk prefix 0 when dialing from abroad. Use the international access code of your country, followed by Moldova's country code 373, then the area code 241 (without the leading 0), and the 5-digit subscriber number.
Numbering and Overlay Considerations
As of the latest ANRCETI updates, there are no overlay codes or number portability issues affecting geographic fixed-line numbers in Moldova. The numbering plan is closed, and all fixed-line numbers have a fixed length of 8 digits (including the trunk prefix 0). The area code 241 is exclusively assigned to fixed-line services; mobile numbers in Moldova use distinct non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 60, 61, 62, 67, 68, 69) and are not affected by this code.
