📍 Geographic Location of Tösens
Geographic Overview
The Austrian area code +43 5477 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the municipality of Tösens and its surrounding localities in the Landeck District, within the federal state of Tyrol (Tirol). This code covers a rural, alpine region in the upper Inn Valley, near the border with Switzerland (Graubünden).

Dialing Formats
For callers within Austria, the national trunk prefix 0 must be dialed before the area code. Therefore, a local number is reached by dialing:
- 0 5477 [subscriber number] (e.g., 0 5477 1234)
For international callers, the Austrian country code (+43) replaces the leading zero. The international format becomes:
- +43 5477 [subscriber number] (e.g., +43 5477 1234)
Subscriber numbers in this exchange typically have a length of 4 to 6 digits, depending on the specific line and service provider. When dialing from a mobile phone within Austria, the same national format (0 5477) is used, as there is no requirement to add a separate prefix.
Caller Instructions
Local callers (within Tösens) may sometimes dial only the subscriber number for calls within the same exchange, but this depends on the local network configuration. However, for reliability, it is recommended to always use the full national format (0 5477). Callers from other Austrian regions must dial the national format with the trunk prefix. International callers must use the +43 country code and omit the leading zero. No overlay or additional dialing changes are currently in effect for this area code.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
As a geographic code, +43 5477 is administered by the Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR). Since the liberalization of the telecom market, subscribers in this area may be served by alternative carriers, but the geographic significance of the code remains tied to the Tösens region. Number portability allows users to retain their number when changing providers, but the code still indicates the original geographic location.
