Area Codes In Austria




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.

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.




AREA CODES


In alphabetic order, umlauts last, German names (e.g. "Wien" means ".


MOBILE PHONE CODES


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.
