Regulatory and Technical Notes
This area code is part of the Austrian numbering plan administered by the Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH (RTR). It is a geographic code, meaning that the tariff for calls to this number is typically based on the destination's location. However, with the advent of number portability, a fixed-line number with this prefix may be routed to a different physical location or technology (e.g., VoIP), but the caller is still charged as if it were a geographic call. There are no overlay codes currently assigned to this area; the code 2172 is used exclusively for the Frauenkirchen exchange.
Practical Usage
Businesses and residents in Frauenkirchen use this prefix for their primary fixed-line services. When listing a number internationally, it is essential to use the +43 2172 format to ensure proper routing. For local callers, using the full national format with the leading '0' is mandatory. As with all Austrian geographic numbers, calls to +43 2172 are subject to standard fixed-line tariffs, which may vary depending on the caller's provider and subscription plan.
