Area Code 4867 – Prilep/Krusevo

Overview of Area Code 4867

Area code 4867 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the North Macedonian numbering plan, assigned to the municipalities of Prilep and Kruševo. It serves a region known for its tobacco industry, marble extraction, and cultural heritage, including the medieval monasteries and the historic town of Kruševo. The code is used for fixed-line PSTN services and is administered under the national regulatory framework of the Agency for Electronic Communications (AEC).

Geographic Coverage and Dialing Formats

The 4867 code covers the urban and rural areas of Prilep, the fourth-largest city in North Macedonia, and the nearby town of Kruševo, along with surrounding villages. Subscriber numbers within this code are typically six digits long, resulting in a complete national significant number (NSN) of eight digits (including the leading zero). The international format follows ITU-T E.164 standards: +389 4867 XXX XX.

For local callers within the same area code, it is possible to dial only the six-digit subscriber number, omitting the trunk prefix 0 and the area code. However, for calls from other regions in North Macedonia, the full national format must be used: 0 4867 XXX XX. International callers must dial +389 4867 XXX XX, replacing the leading zero with the country code +389.

Numbering and Overlay Considerations

As of the latest numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for Prilep and Kruševo; the 4867 code remains the sole geographic code for this area. However, due to the migration towards VoIP and mobile services, fixed-line numbers are increasingly used for business and residential services, and number portability allows subscribers to retain their 4867 numbers even if they switch to alternative service providers.

Caller Instructions

For local callers (within Prilep/Kruševo): dial the six-digit subscriber number directly. For callers from other parts of North Macedonia: dial 0 4867 followed by the subscriber number. For international callers: dial +389 4867 followed by the subscriber number. Always ensure the correct international prefix is used (e.g., 00 from most European countries, or 011 from North America).

When calling from a mobile phone, the same national format applies, and charges are determined by your mobile operator's tariff plan. For businesses, using a 4867 number establishes a local presence in the Prilep region, which can be beneficial for customer trust and local marketing.
