Dialing code: +355 · ISO code: ALB
AMC, Eagle and Vodaphone are three main operators in Albania and mobile phones are used more frequently than landlines.
The Postal and Electronic Communications Authority - AKEP, announces the introduction of a new National Numbering Plan (NNP) in Albania.
General features of the new numbering plan:
• The Albanian Numbering Plan is a closed numbering plan. The new numbering plan passed from 12 Regions to a single Region (removed geographical constraints completely from the numbering plan) of the territory of Albania.
• Effects on dialling:
- a caller can call a number in the territory of Albania using the
full length number with the prefix “0”.
- calling Albania from abroad does not change. When dialling from
abroad to Albania: international access code (international prefix)
followed by the country code of Albania (355) followed by the
National (Significant) Number (N(S)N).
