📍 Geographic Location of Peleliu State
Geographic Overview
The country calling code +680 is assigned to the Republic of Palau, an island nation in the western Pacific Ocean. Within Palau's national numbering plan, the prefix '3' designates the Peleliu State, a geographic area code used for fixed-line telephone services. Peleliu is one of the sixteen states of Palau and is historically significant as the site of the Battle of Peleliu during World War II. The state comprises the island of Peleliu and several smaller islets, located southwest of the main island of Babeldaob. The administrative center is the village of Kloulklubed.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line number in Peleliu from abroad, the international format is +680 3XX XXXX, where '3' is the area code and the subsequent digits represent the local subscriber number. From within Palau, callers must dial the area code '3' followed by the subscriber number, typically without a trunk prefix, as Palau uses a closed numbering plan. For example, a local call would be placed as 3XX XXXX, while an international call would be +680 3XX XXXX.
Coverage and Administration
The Peleliu area code covers the entire state, including the main island and its surrounding islets. The Palau National Communications Corporation (PNCC) is the primary fixed-line operator, providing PSTN services in this region. The geographic nature of the code means that the number is tied to a physical location, and calls to this prefix are routed to the local exchange serving Peleliu.
Caller Instructions
