📍 Geographic Location of Soldanesti
Geographic Overview
The +373 272 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the fixed-line telephone network in the Șoldănești district of the Republic of Moldova. This administrative region is located in the northeastern part of the country, bordered by the Dniester River to the east. The district center, Șoldănești, is the primary locality served by this code, along with surrounding communes and villages such as Cotiujenii Mari, Climăuții de Jos, and Sămășcani. The code is part of Moldova's national numbering plan, which follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Șoldănești, the number structure is as follows:
- National format (within Moldova): 0 272 XXX XX (where XXX XX is the subscriber number, typically 5 digits). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for domestic calls.
- International format (from abroad): +373 272 XXX XX (omit the trunk prefix '0').
Example: If the subscriber number is 12345, a caller from Chișinău would dial 0 272 12345, while a caller from the United States would dial 011 373 272 12345 (or +373 272 12345 from a mobile phone).
Caller Instructions
Local callers (within the Șoldănești area): In many fixed-line networks, local calls within the same exchange may require only the subscriber number (5 digits), but for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format with the trunk prefix and area code.
Domestic long-distance callers (from other Moldovan regions): Always dial the trunk prefix '0', then the area code 272, followed by the subscriber number. For example, from Bălți, dial 0 272 12345.
International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from North America, 00 from most European countries), then Moldova's country code 373, the area code 272 (without the leading '0'), and the subscriber number. For instance, from the UK, dial 00 373 272 12345.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletin, there is no overlay code for Șoldănești; the 272 prefix is exclusively assigned to this geographic area. Subscriber numbers within this code are 5 digits long, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 8 digits (including the area code but excluding the trunk prefix). This structure is consistent across Moldova's fixed-line network.
Network and Services
The 272 prefix is used for traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services, as well as VoIP (Voice over IP) services that are assigned geographic numbers. Calls to this prefix are billed according to national fixed-line tariffs when dialed domestically. International call rates vary by carrier. Emergency services (112) are accessible from any phone, regardless of the prefix.
