Moldova uses an open numbering plan under country code +373. After the country code, a 2-digit area or mobile prefix is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, giving a 9-digit national number. Domestic numbers are often written with a leading trunk "0" that is omitted when dialing Moldova from abroad.
Carriers & language
Moldova has 80% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (Moldtelecom, Orange Moldova, Moldcell). VoIP is permitted and regulated by ANRCETI (National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology). The local currency is MDL and the primary language is Romanian (Moldovan), which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Europe context
Most European numbering plans follow ITU-T E.164 with a national trunk prefix that is dropped for international dialing, and cross-border VoIP is widely supported across the region.
Skipping the exit code
Moldova calls from the US need 011 first, then +373 — the exit code isn't optional.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
Moldova numbers often show a domestic leading 0 — drop it once you've dialed the +373 country code from outside the country.
Ignoring the time difference
Moldova runs on UTC+2. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.

How businesses use a Moldova number
Chisinau-recognisable numbers
Callers in Chisinau and across Moldova see a familiar +373 prefix rather than a number they don't recognise and won't pick up.
Sales & support in one line
The same Moldova number handles inbound support and outbound sales calls, both landing on Tier-1 routes into Moldtelecom and the wider network.
Time-zone-aware routing
Calls into Moldova route to whichever team is on shift for UTC+2, instead of ringing a desk that's already gone home.
SIP trunking for market entry
Stand up a Moldova presence on SIP trunking before committing to local infrastructure — the same number scales from a pilot to full local hiring.
FAQ
Calling Moldova — frequently asked questions
The US exit code is 011 for any international call, including to Moldova. It comes right before the +373 country code, and Twiching adds both automatically when you dial from the app, so you only need to enter the local number.
A full national Moldova number is 9 digits after the +373 country code — a 2-digit area or mobile prefix plus a 7-digit subscriber number. Getting this length right matters: too few or too many digits and the call simply won't connect.
Yes — since Moldova runs on UTC+2, calls can be routed to the right team based on local business hours there. That's especially useful for support or sales teams covering multiple countries across different time zones from one platform.
Dial 011 (US exit code), then 373 (the Moldova country code), then the area or mobile prefix and subscriber number. Drop any leading domestic trunk 0 — that digit is only used for calls placed from inside Moldova itself.
The subscriber portion of a Moldova number is 7 digits, after the country code and area/mobile prefix. That's the part that identifies the specific line once the call has been routed to the right network.
Most European numbering plans follow ITU-T E.164 with a national trunk prefix that is dropped for international dialing, and cross-border VoIP is widely supported across the region. In Moldova specifically, that's overseen by ANRCETI (National Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Information Technology), which sets the compliance bar Twiching's routes are built to meet.
