📍 Geographic Location of Bitola/Demir Hisar/Resen
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The +389 4764 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the southwestern region of North Macedonia, specifically encompassing the municipalities of Bitola, Demir Hisar, and Resen. Bitola, the largest city in the area, serves as a major cultural and economic hub, while Demir Hisar and Resen are smaller towns with surrounding rural areas. This prefix is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Agency for Electronic Communications (AEC) of North Macedonia, which allocates geographic codes for fixed-line PSTN services.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For callers within North Macedonia, the local dialing format requires the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number. For example, a local call to a number in Bitola would be dialed as 047 64X XXXX (where X represents the subscriber digits). International callers must use the country calling code +389 and omit the leading trunk zero, resulting in the format +389 4764 XXXX. For instance, a complete international number might appear as +3894764XXXXX (the exact subscriber length may vary).
Number Structure and Overlay Considerations
Geographic numbers in North Macedonia typically have a total length of 8 digits when including the NDC, excluding the country code. The 4764 prefix is a specific exchange within the larger 47 area code, which covers the broader Bitola region. As of the latest numbering plan updates, there are no overlay codes or mandatory 10-digit dialing in this area; callers within the same area code can dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly, while calls from other regions require the full 0-47-XXXXXXX format.
Service and Usage Notes
Numbers under the 4764 prefix are primarily used for fixed-line telephony, including residential and business lines. They are not portable to mobile networks, as mobile numbers in North Macedonia use distinct non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 70, 71, 72, etc.). For VoIP services, users may be assigned geographic numbers from this range, but routing is IP-based and location-independent. When calling from abroad, ensure you use the international prefix (e.g., 00 from most European countries) followed by 389 and the number without the leading zero. Always verify the complete number with the recipient, as subscriber number lengths can vary.
