Area Code 5355 – Jochberg

Geographic Overview

The Austrian area code +43 5355 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the municipality of Jochberg, located in the district of Kitzbühel in the state of Tyrol (Tirol). This alpine village, situated in the Kitzbühel Alps at an elevation of around 1,000 meters, is a popular year-round tourist destination known for its skiing and hiking opportunities. The code covers Jochberg itself and the immediate surrounding area, including the hamlet of Hörndling and parts of the Kitzbüheler Horn massif. For administrative purposes, the region falls under the jurisdiction of the Tyrolean provincial government, with local services coordinated through the district authority in Kitzbühel.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Jochberg from within Austria, you must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The local subscriber numbers in this region typically consist of 4 to 6 digits, making the complete national number length 10 to 12 digits (including the leading 0). For example, a local number might be dialed as:

• National format (from within Austria): 0 5355 1234
• International format (from abroad): +43 5355 1234

If you are calling from a mobile phone within Austria, you can also use the national format. However, when dialing from outside Austria, always replace the leading 0 with the country code +43.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 5355 area. Subscribers in Jochberg have numbers that are unique within the 5355 NDC, and local calls within the same code do not require the area code. However, for calls from other Austrian regions or from abroad, the full area code is mandatory. The Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR) manages the national numbering plan, and no changes to this geographic code are anticipated in the near future.

Caller Instructions

For local callers: If you are within the Jochberg area and dialing another local number, you can omit the area code and dial only the subscriber number. For example, dial 1234 to reach a local subscriber.

For international callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then Austria's country code 43, followed by the area code 5355 (without the leading 0) and the subscriber number. For instance, to call the number 1234 from the US, you would dial 011 43 5355 1234.

Always ensure you have the correct subscriber number, as numbers in this rural area may be shorter than those in larger cities. If you are unsure about the number length, consult the local telephone directory or the person you are trying to reach.
