📍 Geographic Location of Bitola/Demir Hisar/Resen
Overview of Area Code 4762
Area code 4762 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the North Macedonian numbering plan, assigned to the southwestern region encompassing the municipalities of Bitola, Demir Hisar, and Resen. This area is part of the Pelagonia statistical region and is served by fixed-line PSTN and VoIP operators. The code is used for traditional landline services, and its geographic nature means that the tariff for calls to this code is typically higher than national non-geographic numbers but lower than mobile rates.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The code covers the city of Bitola, the second-largest city in North Macedonia, known for its historical significance and economic activity. It also includes the smaller towns of Demir Hisar and Resen, as well as numerous rural settlements. Administratively, these municipalities fall under the Pelagonia Region, and the code is managed by the Agency for Electronic Communications (AEC) of North Macedonia.
Dialing Formats
For local callers within North Macedonia, the number is dialed as 04762 XXX XX (including the trunk prefix '0'). For international callers, the format is +389 4762 XXX XX (omitting the leading '0'). The full subscriber number is typically 9 digits long when including the NDC, excluding the trunk prefix. For example, a local number might be 04762 12 34, while international callers would dial +389 4762 12 34.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for this area; 4762 is the sole geographic code for the region. However, number portability is available, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators. This means that a number with the 4762 prefix may be served by any operator, but the geographic tariff still applies based on the number's origin.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within the same area code can dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, but for clarity and to avoid confusion, it is recommended to always use the full national format. Foreign callers must use the international format with the +389 country code. When calling from a mobile phone, the same rules apply, but be aware that international rates may vary depending on your carrier.
