TELEPHONE NUMBERS IN AUSTRIA
(Redirected from Area codes in Austria)
To call an Austrian phone number from outside Austria, you will need to dial:
International access code + 43 (country code) + area Code + Telephone Number.
If calling a phone number within another area from inside Austria, you need to dial 0 + area code + phone number.
If calling a phone within the same area code, you do not need to dial an area code.
If calling from a mobile phone, you always need to dial 0 + area code + phone number, usually even if calling a number of the same mobile network.
There are no standard lengths for either area codes or subscribers' numbers in Austria, meaning that some subscribers' numbers may be as short as three digits. Larger towns have shorter area codes permitting longer subscriber numbers in that area. Some examples:
'00' International call prefix
'112' general emergency call
'118' directory assistance services
'122' fire
'133' police
'140' mountain rescue
'144' medical emergency
'147' telephone counseling for children (Rat auf Draht)
'15xx' generic information services (time, ...)
'01' Wien/Vienna
'0316' Graz
'0463' Klagenfurt
'050x' virtual private network (VPN)
'0512' Innsbruck
'0662' Salzburg
'0650' cell phones (Telering)
'0660' cell phones (Drei)
'0664' cell phones (A1)
'0676' cell phones (T-Mobile)
'0680' cell phones (BoB)
'0681' cell phones (Yesss)
'0688' cell phones (Tele2)
'0699' cell phones (One / Yesss)
'0718' internet dial-up numbers
'0720' location independent landline numbers VoIP
'0732' Linz
'0780' national subscriber numbers
'0800' national free call
'00800' international free call
'0804' internet dial-up numbers
'08xx' service numbers
'09xx' premium rate
The number-assignment of the cell phones can vary, due to number portability.
★ Yesss and Tele2 are using the network-infrastructure of One. Yesss is a discount-offer of One.
★ BoB is a discount-offer of A1 and therefore uses its network-infrastructure.
★ Since 2006 Telering is fully owned by and integrated into T-Mobile and therefore uses its network-infrastructure.
In alphabetic order, umlauts last, German names (e.g. "Wien" means "Vienna", etc.). Attached "(de)" means Link to the .
In ascending numeric order
★ 1 Telering was bought by T-Mobile in 2005. As of 2006, Telering uses the network-infrastructure of T-Mobile. As a special requirement of the European commission, many of the former transmitters and frequencies previously operated by Telering were given to One and Drei.
★ 2 BoB is a discount service of A1, Yesss and Eety is a discount service of One. Schwarzfunk is a discount service of T-Mobile.
Due to number portability, the code is not a safe way to evaluate the provider of a phone number. The providers assign only in exceptional cases (special sort of custom numbers, more expensive) non-existing numbers with a different prefix, and this is handled similar as porting an existing number from the desired network. However, the providers still have the administrative sovereignty over their own prefix.
