Area Code 2160 – Jois

Geographic Overview

The Austrian area code +43 2160 is assigned to the municipality of Jois, located in the district of Neusiedl am See in the federal state of Burgenland. Jois sits on the western shore of Lake Neusiedl, near the Hungarian border, and is part of the Vienna metropolitan area's commuter belt. The code covers the town itself and its immediate surroundings, including the cadastral community of Jois. This is a geographic number, meaning it is tied to a fixed line at a specific physical address.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Jois landline from within Austria, you must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber's 5- to 7-digit local number. For example, a local number might be dialed as:

• 0 2160 12345 (national format)

From abroad, you dial the Austrian country code +43, then the area code 2160 (without the leading zero), followed by the local number:

• +43 2160 12345 (international format)

If you are calling from a mobile phone within Austria, you can use either the national or international format; both are supported. However, always check with your service provider for any special rates for international calls.

Local Administration and Numbering

The Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR) administers the national numbering plan under ITU-T E.164. The area code 2160 is part of the Burgenland numbering region, which is subdivided into several local network areas. Jois is served by the same fixed-line infrastructure as the surrounding towns, but each municipality has its own distinct code to ensure local call routing efficiency.

There are no overlay codes or ten-digit dialing requirements in this region; the standard Austrian dialing rules apply. For local calls within Jois, you may still be able to dial just the subscriber number without the area code, depending on your telephone exchange. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format.

Caller Instructions

For callers inside Austria: dial 0 + 2160 + local number. For callers outside Austria: dial your international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 43 + 2160 + local number. Note that the leading zero of the area code is never dialed from abroad.

If you are a business or resident in Jois and wish to receive international calls, ensure that your number is published in the correct international format (+43 2160 ...) to avoid confusion. For any number portability issues, contact your service provider.
