📍 Geographic Location of Pyinoolwin
Geographic Overview
The +95 8528 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to Pyinoolwin (formerly Maymyo), a major hill town in Mandalay Region, central Myanmar. Located approximately 67 kilometers east of Mandalay city, Pyinoolwin serves as the administrative capital of Pyinoolwin District and is known for its temperate climate, colonial-era architecture, and the nearby National Kandawgyi Botanical Gardens. The code covers the town itself and surrounding sub-townships, including Anisakan and Pyingaung, where fixed-line PSTN services are deployed.
Dialing Formats
Within Myanmar, calls to Pyinoolwin numbers are placed using the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The standard national format is:
- 0 8528 XXX XXX (where X represents the local 6-digit subscriber number)
For international callers, the country code +95 is used, and the leading trunk prefix is omitted. The international format is:
- +95 8528 XXX XXX
For example, a local call to a subscriber number 123456 would be dialed as 08528 123456, while an international caller would dial +95 8528 123456.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Myanmar must always include the trunk prefix 0 when dialing from outside the Pyinoolwin area. If calling from a mobile phone, the same national format applies. International callers should replace the leading 0 with +95. It is important to note that Myanmar's numbering plan is undergoing gradual migration to a 10-digit format, but the 8528 code remains a fixed geographic NDC.
Network and Regulatory Notes
The code is allocated to fixed-line services operated by the incumbent operator, Myanma Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), as well as licensed private operators such as Ooredoo Myanmar and Telenor Myanmar (now Atom), which provide fixed wireless access (FWA) services in the region. As with all geographic codes in Myanmar, the number is tied to a physical location, and calls are routed via the PSTN. Overlay codes have not been introduced in Pyinoolwin, so the 8528 code is unique to this area. When dialing, ensure you have the correct number of digits; subscriber numbers in Pyinoolwin are typically 6 digits, but some older lines may have fewer, so confirm with the called party if necessary.
