Area Code 2249 – Gross-Enzersdorf

Geographic Overview

The Austrian area code +43 2249 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Gross-Enzersdorf and its surrounding administrative district in the state of Lower Austria (Niederösterreich). Located on the eastern edge of the Vienna metropolitan area, Gross-Enzersdorf lies within the Marchfeld region, near the Danube River and the Slovakian border. The code covers the main town and several incorporated villages, including Oberhausen, Rutzendorf, and Probstdorf, which are part of the Gross-Enzersdorf municipality.

This numbering area is part of the Austrian telephone numbering plan, administered by the national regulatory authority, Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH (RTR), in accordance with ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Subscriber numbers within this code typically have a length of 6 to 7 digits, resulting in a total international number length of 11 to 12 digits when including the country code and trunk prefix.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Austria, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. The national format is:

• 0 2249 xxxxx (subscriber number)

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

• +43 2249 xxxxx

For example, a local number might be 2249 12345. To call this from abroad, you would dial +43 2249 12345. From a mobile phone within Austria, you can dial 02249 12345 or +43 2249 12345.

Geographic Coverage and Overlays

The +43 2249 area code is a geographic code, meaning it is tied to a physical location. It does not have any overlay codes; the area is served solely by this NDC. Calls to this number are routed via the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or VoIP providers, depending on the subscriber's service. Since the liberalization of the Austrian telecom market, subscribers in this area may have number portability, allowing them to retain their number even if they switch providers, but the geographic tie remains.

Caller Instructions

When calling a Gross-Enzersdorf number from a landline in a different Austrian area, you must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number. For example, from Vienna (area code 01), you would dial 02249 12345. From a mobile phone, you can use the same format or the international format with +43.

For international callers, always omit the leading zero and use the +43 country code. Ensure you have the correct international exit code for your country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada).

Gross-Enzersdorf is part of the Vienna metropolitan area, and some businesses may use Vienna area codes (01) for their main lines, but +43 2249 is specifically assigned to the Gross-Enzersdorf locality.
