Transnistria - Pridnestrovie

PMR

Transnistria, also known as Trans-Dniester, Transdniestria and Pridnestrovie (full name: Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic), is a breakaway republic within the internationally recognised borders of Moldova. Although not recognised by any state or international organisation and de jure part of Moldova, it is de facto independent and functions like a state. It is organised as a presidential republic, with its own government, parliament, military, police and postal system. Its authorities have adopted a constitution, flag, a national anthem, and a coat of arms.
Talking about mobile phones, there are no GSM providers in Pridnestrovie, except Orange and Moldcell which have coverage in Tiraspol and the main towns of this region. By the way there can be problems with communications and Moldovan numbers should be unreachable from PMR.
IDC is a CDMA standard operator and the only official one working in Transnistria. It has coverage only in this region. IDC works on CDMA 450/800 MHz frequencies.
