📍 Geographic Location of Nisporeni
Geographic Overview
The area code 264 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Nisporeni District in the Republic of Moldova. Nisporeni is located in the central-western part of the country, along the banks of the Nistru River, approximately 70 kilometers northwest of the capital, Chișinău. The district includes the town of Nisporeni and surrounding villages such as Bălănești, Boldurești, and Vărzărești. This code is used for fixed-line telephone services within the district, operated by the national incumbent provider, Moldtelecom, and other licensed fixed-line operators.
Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in Nisporeni, the international format is +373 264 XXX XX (where X represents the subscriber number digits). The full national significant number (NSN) is typically 8 digits, comprising the area code (264) and a 5-digit subscriber number. For example, a local number might appear as 0 264 12345 when dialed domestically. When calling from abroad, you would dial +373 264 12345. Note that the leading '0' used in domestic dialing is not included when dialing from outside Moldova.
Caller Instructions
For callers within Moldova: Dial 0 264 followed by the 5-digit subscriber number. The '0' is the trunk prefix used to access the national network. For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then Moldova's country code 373, then the area code 264 without the leading '0', and finally the subscriber number. For example, a caller from the UK would dial 00 373 264 12345.
Overlays and Numbering Plan
Moldova's numbering plan is administered by the National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (ANRCETI). Currently, there are no overlay codes for Nisporeni; the 264 code is exclusively assigned to this geographic region. However, number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers within the same geographic area. This means that a number starting with 264 may not necessarily be served by the original operator, but it remains geographically tied to Nisporeni.
Usage and Practical Information
Fixed-line services in Nisporeni are primarily used for residential and business telephony, including internet access via DSL. The cost of calls to Nisporeni from other parts of Moldova is typically at national rates, while international calls are billed according to the caller's international tariff. As with all geographic numbers, the prefix 264 does not indicate a mobile service; mobile numbers in Moldova begin with 6, 7, or 8 (e.g., 60, 68, 69, 78, 79). For emergency services, dial 112 (European emergency number) or 901 (fire), 902 (police), 903 (ambulance) from any phone.
