Overview of Moldova Mobile Prefix +373 62
The +373 62 prefix is a non-geographic mobile network code assigned within the Republic of Moldova's national numbering plan, as administered by the National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (ANRCETI). Unlike geographic area codes, which correspond to fixed-line services in specific districts or municipalities, the 62 prefix is allocated to mobile services and is not tied to any particular physical location. This means that a subscriber assigned a +373 62 number can be located anywhere within Moldova's national territory, and the number remains valid regardless of the user's movement across the country.
Technical Specifications and Formatting
Moldovan mobile numbers, including those beginning with 62, follow the international E.164 format: +373 62 XXX XXX, where the total number length is 8 digits after the country code. In domestic dialing, callers within Moldova must dial the full 8-digit national significant number, which includes the prefix 62 and the subscriber's unique 6-digit line number. For example, a local caller would dial 62 123 456, while an international caller would dial +373 62 123 456. It is important to note that the leading '0' used in some other countries' trunk prefixes is not used in Moldova for mobile numbers; the national significant number always begins with the prefix 62.
Service Providers and Number Portability
The 62 prefix is utilized by various mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) operating in Moldova. As of the latest data, the prefix is shared among multiple providers, including Orange Moldova, Moldcell, and newer entrants. Due to mobile number portability (MNP), a subscriber may retain their 62 number even when switching operators, which means that the prefix alone does not definitively indicate the current service provider. For accurate routing, telecom databases must be consulted in real time.
Dialing Instructions for Local and International Callers
For callers within Moldova, dialing a 62 number requires only the 8-digit national number (e.g., 62 123 456). For callers from abroad, the international format must be used: +373 62 123 456. When dialing from a fixed line in Moldova, no trunk prefix is needed. For international SMS and voice calls, the same +373 format applies. It is recommended to always store numbers in international format (+373 62 ...) to ensure compatibility with mobile devices and VoIP services.
Regulatory and Cost Considerations
As a mobile prefix, calls to 62 numbers are subject to mobile termination rates, which are typically higher than fixed-line rates. International callers should check with their service provider for applicable charges. SMS messages to 62 numbers are also routed as mobile-terminated messages. The prefix is not designated for premium-rate services or special shortcodes; it is exclusively for person-to-person mobile communications.
