Caller Instructions
For callers within Austria: Always include the trunk prefix '0' before the area code, even when calling from a phone number within the same area code. This is a standard requirement in Austria's closed dialing plan.
For international callers: Replace the leading '0' with the Austrian country code '+43'. Ensure you use the correct international exit code from your country (e.g., '00' in most European countries, '011' in the US/Canada).
