- International callers: Dial the international access code (00 or +), then 43, then 4252, followed by the local number. Omit the leading 0.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan for Austria, there is no overlay code for the 4252 area. The code is exclusively used for geographic fixed-line services. Subscriber numbers within this code are not portable to mobile networks, but fixed-line number portability allows you to keep your number when changing providers within the same geographic area.
Businesses and residents in Wernberg benefit from the code's clear association with the region, which is important for local presence and emergency services routing. For further details, consult the Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR-GmbH) numbering database.
