Area Code 4767 – Bitola/Demir Hisar/Resen

Geographic Overview

The +389 4767 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Bitola, Demir Hisar, and Resen areas in North Macedonia. This region, located in the southwestern part of the country, is served by fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. The prefix is administered under the national numbering plan of the Agency for Electronic Communications (AEC) of North Macedonia, following ITU-T E.164 recommendations.

Coverage and Local Significance

The code covers the municipalities of Bitola, Demir Hisar, and Resen. Bitola is the second-largest city in North Macedonia and a major cultural and economic hub, while Demir Hisar and Resen are smaller towns with surrounding rural areas. Subscribers within this geographic area share the same local network, and calls between numbers with the same prefix are typically treated as local calls.

Dialing Formats

For callers within North Macedonia, the national format requires dialing 047 67 XX XX (or 047 67X XXX depending on the subscriber number length). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for domestic calls. For international callers, the number must be dialed as +389 47 67X XXX (or +389 47 67 XX XX), omitting the leading zero. For example, a local number might be 047 67 12 34, which internationally would be +389 47 67 12 34.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Bitola/Demir Hisar/Resen): Dial the subscriber number directly if it is within the same exchange area; otherwise, use the full national format with the trunk prefix.
• Domestic long-distance callers (from other parts of North Macedonia): Dial 047 followed by the subscriber number.
• International callers: Dial the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries) followed by 389, then 47, and the subscriber number, without the leading zero.

Numbering and Overlay Considerations

As of the latest AEC updates, there are no overlay codes in this area; the 4767 prefix is exclusively used for the Bitola/Demir Hisar/Resen region. Subscriber numbers following the prefix typically consist of 6 to 7 digits, making the total national number length 9 digits (including the leading zero) or 8 to 9 digits when dialed internationally (excluding the country code).

Service and Usage

Numbers under this prefix are primarily used for fixed-line services, including residential and business lines. With the growth of VoIP, some numbers may be assigned to IP-based telephony providers, but the geographic association remains for number portability purposes. When calling these numbers, standard national and international tariffs apply, depending on the caller's location and service provider.
