Calling and messaging a +355 number over the internet

Calls and messages to +355 numbers can be made over the internet using a data connection, which avoids the cost of a standard international call. A softphone or messaging app on a phone, tablet or computer carries the call or message over the data connection rather than the mobile voice network.

Slashtel sends prepaid mobile top-ups to these Albania operators: Vodafone and One. You can top up a Albania number to keep credit on the line before a call or message is sent.

When contacting a +355 number, use the full international format shown above. The country code comes first, followed by the mobile number, so the call or message reaches the right line in Albania. Check that the number is written correctly before sending, since a wrong digit sends the call or message elsewhere.

A data connection is the only requirement for internet calling and messaging to Albania. Where a data connection is available, a +355 number can be reached without a traditional international call. Time the contact with the local clock in Albania, which runs on Europe/Tirane (UTC+01:00), so the person receiving the call or message is likely to be awake. The capital, Tirana, keeps the same time as the rest of the country.
