Writing Austrian Phone Numbers: A Quick Guide

If you're planning on writing an Austrian phone number, you'll need to know the country code, area codes, and phone number formats. Austrian phone numbers can range from 4 to 13 digits in length, with no standard length for area codes or subscriber numbers. When calling an Austrian landline, you'll need to include the area code, but for mobile numbers, simply enter the country code followed by the mobile number, which will begin with a 6. To call Austria from abroad, dial the international exit code of your country, followed by Austria's country code 43, and then the area code and phone number. For example, to call a landline in Vienna from the US, you would dial 011-43-1-XXX-XX-XXXX.

Country code and exit code

Country codes and exit codes are essential when making international calls. To call someone in Austria, you need to enter the international exit code of the country you are calling from, followed by the country code for Austria, and then the Austrian phone number.

Exit codes allow you to dial out of your country. These vary depending on the country. For instance, the exit code for the US and Canada is "011", while other countries may use "0" or "11". You can replace the exit code with a "+" sign when calling from a mobile phone, which will automatically enter your country's exit code.

The country code for Austria is "43". This is the code used to access Austrian lines and is the same no matter which country you are calling from.

After entering the exit code and country code, you then need to enter the Austrian phone number. Austrian phone numbers can vary in length, ranging from 4 to 13 digits, so don't be surprised if some numbers seem longer or shorter than expected.

When calling an Austrian landline, you will need to enter the area code, followed by the phone number. The area code will depend on the location in Austria you are calling, with larger towns having shorter area codes and longer subscriber numbers. For example, the area code for Vienna is "1".

When calling an Austrian mobile number, you do not need to enter an area code. Instead, just enter the mobile phone number, which will begin with a "6", after the exit code and country code.

Austrian phone number lengths

Austrian phone numbers vary in length, with no standard length for either area codes or subscriber numbers. The length of a phone number depends on the area's population and the corresponding area code. Larger towns and cities have shorter area codes, allowing for longer subscriber numbers.

The minimum length of an Austrian phone number is 4 digits, and the maximum is 13 digits, including the country code. The country code for Austria is +43, and it is dialled before the area code and subscriber number for international calls.

Area codes in Austria can range from 1 to 5 digits, while local numbers or subscriber numbers typically range from 4 to 7 digits. However, in some cases, subscriber numbers can be as short as 3 digits, especially in areas with longer area codes.

When dialling an Austrian phone number from within the country, the format is typically Area Code + Subscriber Number. For example, a phone number in Vienna, with the area code '1', would be written as 01 XXXX XXXX for local calls.

When dialling an Austrian phone number from outside the country, the format is Country Code + Area Code + Subscriber Number. For example, a phone number in Vienna would be written as +43 1 XXXX XXXX.

It is important to note that mobile phone numbers in Austria often begin with specific prefixes that identify the mobile service provider. These prefixes can vary in length, and the total number of digits in a mobile phone number can vary from 10 to 13 digits, depending on the operator.

Calling a landline

To call an Austrian landline from outside Austria, you will need to enter the correct exit code, country code, and area code.

Exit Code

Firstly, you need to enter an exit code to dial out of your country. This number varies depending on the country you are calling from. For instance, to call from the US or Canada, the exit code is "011". From other countries, it may be "0" or "11". You can find the exit code for your country by searching "calling abroad" or "international exit codes" online. If you are calling from a cell phone, you can enter a "+" sign in place of the exit code.

Country Code

Secondly, enter the country code for Austria, which is "43". This code is the same no matter which country you are calling from.

Area Code

Thirdly, you will need to enter the Austrian area code. Austrian landline numbers usually start with "01" and then have about six more digits. For example, if the number is listed as "01 5121320", you would dial "+43 1 5121320".

Full Number

Putting this all together, the full number you would dial (excluding the initial exit code) to call an Austrian landline from abroad would be "+43 1 XXXXXXX".

It is worth noting that Austrian phone numbers do not have a standard length, and can range from 4 to 13 digits in total. Therefore, some numbers may seem longer or shorter than expected.

Calling a mobile phone

To call an Austrian mobile phone from abroad, you will need to enter the correct international exit code, country code, and mobile number.

Firstly, you will need to enter the international exit code to dial out of your country. This number can vary depending on the country you are calling from. For example, to call from the US or Canada, dial "011". From other countries, you may use "0" or "11". If you are calling from a cell phone, you can enter a "+" sign in place of the exit code, which will automatically enter your country's exit code.

Next, you will need to enter the country code for Austria, which is "43". This is the same no matter which country you are calling from.

Finally, you will need to enter the Austrian mobile number, which will generally begin with a "6", followed by either "50", "60", "65", "66", "67", "68", or "69". The Austrian mobile number will be between 4 and 13 digits long.

So, to call an Austrian mobile phone from abroad, your number will look something like this: "+43 650 123 45 67".

It is worth noting that if you are calling a landline in Austria, you will need to enter the area code before the phone number. When calling within Austria, you must dial "0" followed by the area code. For example, to call a landline in Vienna, you would dial "01" followed by the phone number. However, when calling a landline in Austria from abroad, you do not need to include the "0". So, for example, the number you would dial to reach a landline in Vienna from abroad would look like this: "011-43-1-XXX-XX-XXXX".

Austrian area codes

To call an Austrian phone number from outside Austria, you must first dial 00, the international call prefix, followed by the country code, 43. After that, you dial the 1-4 digit area code, and then the local number. The length of Austrian phone numbers varies, but including the area code, full Austrian phone numbers range from 5 to 13 digits.

There are no standard lengths for either area codes or subscriber numbers in Austria. Larger towns tend to have shorter area codes, allowing for longer subscriber numbers.

Some examples of Austrian area codes include:

• Vienna (1)
• Graz (316)
• Linz (732)
• Klagenfurt am Wörthersee (463)
• Salzburg (662)
• Innsbruck (512)
