Area Code 2177 – Podersdorf am See

Overview of Area Code 2177

Area code 2177 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Austrian numbering plan, assigned to the town of Podersdorf am See and its immediate surroundings. Located in the state of Burgenland, near the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl, this code serves a predominantly rural and touristic region. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the district of Neusiedl am See.

Geographic Coverage and Primary Localities

The code covers Podersdorf am See itself, along with nearby settlements and agricultural areas. Key localities served include the main town center, the lakeside recreation zone, and outlying hamlets. As a geographic number, the prefix is tied to the physical exchange area, and subscribers are typically connected via the traditional PSTN or modern fiber/VoIP infrastructure that retains geographic numbering.

Dialing Formats

• National dialing (within Austria): 0 2177 [subscriber number] — the leading trunk prefix 0 is used when calling from any Austrian fixed or mobile line.
• International dialing (from abroad): +43 2177 [subscriber number] — replace the leading 0 with the Austrian country code +43.
• Local dialing (within the same exchange area): In some cases, local calls may be made without the area code, but it is recommended to always use the full national format to avoid confusion, especially with mobile numbers.

Subscriber numbers in this area typically consist of 5 to 7 digits, resulting in a complete national significant number (NSN) of 9 to 11 digits including the area code. For example, a local number might be formatted as 02177 12345 nationally and +43 2177 12345 internationally.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Austria: Dial 0 followed by 2177 and the subscriber number. For example, to reach a Podersdorf am See number, dial 02177 12345.

For callers from outside Austria: Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most European countries, or 011 from North America), then 43 (Austria's country code), then 2177 and the subscriber number, omitting the leading 0. Example: 00 43 2177 12345.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the current ITU-T E.164 allocation, there is no overlay code for this area; 2177 remains the sole geographic code for Podersdorf am See. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, which may result in a number assigned to a different physical location. Always verify the destination before dialing if you are unsure.
