For international callers, the Austrian country code +43 replaces the leading zero. The international format is:

For example, if a local number is 12345, a caller from Vienna would dial 0 2163 12345, while a caller from the United States would dial 011 43 2163 12345 (or use the + sign on mobile devices).
Caller Instructions
Local callers within the Petronell-Carnuntum area may be able to dial the subscriber number without the area code if they are within the same local calling area, but this is increasingly rare due to number unification. It is always safe to use the full national format.
International callers should note that the leading zero of the Austrian trunk prefix is not used when dialing from abroad. Always replace it with the country code +43.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 assignments, there is no overlay code for this region. The area code 2163 is exclusively used for fixed-line services within its geographic boundary. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, so a number with this prefix may be served by any carrier, including VoIP providers, but the geographic association remains for routing purposes.
For businesses operating in this region, it is essential to list the number in both national and international formats on websites and marketing materials to facilitate access for domestic and international clients.
