How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Moldova

Moldova’s country calling code is +373. Moldova uses a closed numbering plan with an 8-digit national significant number (NSN), and domestic dialing typically uses the trunk prefix 0 in front of that 8-digit NSN. In other words, within Moldova you’ll often see numbers written like 0 22 XXX XXX (Chișinău landline) or 0 69 XXX XXX (mobile). For international calls to Moldova, you dial +373 and then the 8 digits (no leading 0).

Landlines in Moldova use geographic destination codes such as 22 for Chișinău and 3-digit codes for many other towns (e.g., 231 for Bălți). Mobile numbers use non-geographic mobile ranges (often starting with 6 or 7), and the dialing pattern is the same: domestically 0 + mobile prefix + subscriber digits, internationally +373 + mobile prefix + subscriber digits. For example, a number saved as +373 22 XXX XXX (landline) or +373 69 XXX XXX (mobile) will usually work cleanly across countries and apps without needing to remember when to add or remove the “0”.

What are the emergency numbers in Moldova

Moldova’s single emergency number is 112 (police, fire, ambulance). Older service numbers 901/902/903 were integrated into the 112 system, and Moldova moved to calling 112 only for emergencies.

What are the city and area codes in Moldova

Dialing tip: In Moldova, domestic dialing commonly uses 0 + the full 8-digit NSN (e.g., 0 22 XXX XXX). When calling from abroad, drop the 0 and dial +373 followed by the same 8 digits (e.g., +373 22 XXX XXX).

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Moldova

Dialing tip: Moldova has mobile number portability, launched on 1 July 2013, so a prefix like 69 or 78 may not reliably indicate the subscriber’s current operator. For best formatting, store mobiles as +373 XX XXX XXX.

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
Orange Moldova	60, 68, 69 (commonly used mobile ranges)
Moldcell	78, 79 (commonly used mobile ranges)
Moldtelecom Unité	67
