Telephone Numbers In The Netherlands





DEFINITIONS

  • Geographical code - A number meant for geographically determined areas

  • Non-geographical code - A number meant for non-geographically determined destinations (services and mobile phones)

  • Area code - The first three or four digits of a geographical code

  • Service code - The first digits of a non-geographical code, used to determine the category of service

  • Subscriber number - The part of a geographical code behind the area code or the part of the non-geographical code behind the service code.



NOTATION

Dutch geographic codes consist of 10 digits. The area code consists of 3 or 4 digits (depending on the size of the area, larger areas have 3 digits, smaller areas have 4 digits), followed by 7 or 6 digits in the subscriber number. Dutch mobile phone numbers consist of 10 digits as well. They start with 06, followed by 8 digits.

Dutch non-geographic codes are different from geographic codes. The non-geographic codes in the Netherlands are 06 (Mobile phones and pagers), 0800 (Free service numbers), 084 and 087 (Voicemailboxes and Virtual Private Numbers ),088 (Large companies with more than one address), 0900 (Paid information numbers), 0906 (Adult lines) and 0909 (Entertainment).

0800 numbers can always be dialled for free, even from (public) payphones; other numbers starting with 08 are not free.

The non-geographic codes in the Netherlands (besides 06) don't have a fixed number of digits, but are usually kept as short as possible, for the sake of convenience.

Geographic numbers are allocated in blocks to different telecommunications providers. However, a telephonenumber from a block allocated to a certain provider may not be serviced by that provider anymore due to Number Portability ; subscribers who switch providers can take their number with them.

The Emergency Number in the Netherlands is 112. GSM mobile phones may accept a different number to dial into the emergency services (such as 999 or 911), depending on their Firmware .
