Area Code 2143 – Kittsee

Overview of Austria's +43 2143 Geographic Code

The Austrian country code +43 is followed by the geographic area code 2143, which is assigned to the municipality of Kittsee in the federal state of Burgenland. Kittsee is located in the district of Neusiedl am See, in the extreme eastern part of Austria, near the borders with Slovakia and Hungary. This area code serves the town of Kittsee and its immediate surroundings, including the nearby villages of Pama and Gattendorf, which are part of the same local calling area.

Dialing Format and Usage

When calling a landline in Kittsee from within Austria, you must dial the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 2143 XXX XXX, where the subscriber number typically consists of six to seven digits. For example, a local number might be 0 2143 12345.

For international callers, the Austrian country code +43 replaces the leading zero. The international format is +43 2143 XXX XXX. For instance, if you are calling from abroad, you would dial +43 2143 12345.

Local calls within the same area code (i.e., between Kittsee and its neighboring villages) can often be made using only the subscriber number, without the area code, depending on the specific local dialing plan. However, for clarity and to avoid errors, it is recommended to use the full national format.

Geographic Significance

Kittsee is a small town with a population of around 2,000 residents. It is known for its proximity to the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, which is only about 20 kilometers away. This geographic position influences telecommunications, as cross-border mobile roaming and international calls are common. The area code 2143 is part of the Austrian numbering plan administered by the Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH (RTR), the national regulatory authority. All geographic area codes in Austria are assigned to specific regions and are used for fixed-line services, including traditional PSTN and VoIP services that are tied to a physical address.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Austria): Dial 0 2143 followed by the subscriber number.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 43, then 2143, and the subscriber number.
• Mobile callers: When calling a Kittsee landline from a mobile phone in Austria, the same national format applies: 0 2143 + subscriber number.

There are no known overlay codes in this area, so the 2143 prefix is unique to the Kittsee region. As with all Austrian geographic numbers, calls to 2143 numbers are typically charged at standard landline rates, which may vary depending on the caller's provider and tariff.
