📍 Geographic Location of Gattendorf
Geographic Overview
Austrian area code +43 2142 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Gattendorf and its surrounding administrative area in the state of Burgenland, in the far eastern part of Austria. Gattendorf lies in the district of Neusiedl am See, close to the Hungarian border. The code covers the municipality of Gattendorf and may also serve nearby localities within the same local calling area, such as Potzneusiedl and parts of the surrounding rural region. As with all Austrian geographic codes, +43 2142 is used exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including traditional copper lines and, in many cases, VoIP-based fixed connections that retain a geographic number.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Gattendorf number from within Austria, you must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, a local number might be dialed as:
- 0 2142 12345 (national format)
From outside Austria, callers must use the international access prefix (usually 00 or +), followed by the Austrian country code 43, then the area code without the leading zero, and finally the subscriber number:
- +43 2142 12345 (international format)
Subscriber numbers in the Gattendorf area typically have 4 to 6 digits, depending on the service provider and historical allocation. Always check the complete number as provided by the subscriber.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the Gattendorf area, it is possible to dial only the subscriber number without the area code if the call remains within the same local network. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format. For international callers, ensure you replace the leading zero of the area code with the country code. For example, if you are calling from the United States, you would dial 011 43 2142 12345.
