Overview of Moldova's Mobile Prefix +373 60
In the Republic of Moldova, the international dialing code +373 is followed by a National Destination Code (NDC) that identifies the service type and, for mobile services, the specific operator. The prefix 60 is designated for mobile network services, meaning numbers formatted as +373 60XX XXXX are assigned to mobile subscribers. Unlike geographic area codes, which are tied to a physical location, the 60 prefix is non-geographic and supports national roaming and number portability.
Technical Specifications and Numbering
Moldovan mobile numbers using the 60 prefix have a total length of 8 digits after the country code, following the pattern 60 XX XX XX. This structure aligns with the National Numbering Plan, which allocates specific NDC ranges to mobile operators. The prefix 60 is currently associated with Moldcell, one of the country's leading mobile network operators. However, due to Mobile Number Portability (MNP), a number starting with 60 may be ported to another operator, so the prefix does not always indicate the current network.
For international callers, the correct format is +373 60XX XXXX (or +37360XXXXXX when dialed without spaces). From within Moldova, callers must dial 060 XX XX XX (including the trunk prefix '0') for domestic calls. When dialing from abroad, the leading '0' is omitted, and the '+' sign or the international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries) is used.
Dialing Instructions
- Domestic call (within Moldova): Dial 060 XX XX XX (e.g., 060 123 456).
- International call (from abroad): Dial your country's exit code, then 373 60 XX XX XX (e.g., from the US: 011 373 60 123 456; from the UK: 00 373 60 123 456).
- Receiving calls: Moldovan mobile numbers are typically displayed as +373 60XX XXXX on caller ID.
Regulatory and Operational Context
The National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (ANRCETI) oversees the allocation of numbering resources in Moldova. The 60 prefix is part of the national numbering plan and is subject to periodic reviews to ensure efficient use. Mobile services in Moldova operate on GSM/UMTS/LTE networks, and the 60 prefix supports standard voice, SMS, and data services. For businesses, numbers with the 60 prefix are often used for customer contact, as they are widely recognized as mobile numbers, enabling direct communication with subscribers.
When contacting a Moldovan mobile number from abroad, it is essential to consider time zones (EET/EEST) and potential roaming charges if the subscriber is outside Moldova. For SMS and MMS, the same international format applies. Always verify the number's validity and current operator status, especially if the number has been ported.
