Area Code 6133 – Ebensee

Overview of Area Code 6133

Austria's area code 6133 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Ebensee am Traunsee and its immediate surroundings, located in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria (Oberösterreich). The code is administered under the Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR-GmbH) and follows the ITU-T E.164 numbering plan.

Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction

Ebensee lies in the district of Gmunden (Bezirk Gmunden) and is situated at the southern end of the Traunsee lake. The area code 6133 covers not only the town center but also the local communities and settlements that are part of the Ebensee cadastral municipality, including Rindbach, Langwies, and parts of the Traun valley. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the state of Upper Austria, and the code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within this specific geographic region.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Austria, the national trunk prefix 0 must be dialed before the area code. The local subscriber number typically consists of 5 to 6 digits, resulting in a total national significant number of 9 to 10 digits (excluding the leading 0).

• National call (from within Austria): 0 6133 [subscriber number]
• International call (from outside Austria): +43 6133 [subscriber number]

For example, if the local number is 12345, a caller from Vienna would dial 06133 12345, while a caller from Germany would dial 0043 6133 12345 or +43 6133 12345.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest RTR numbering plan, area code 6133 does not have an overlay code. Subscribers within the Ebensee area use the 6133 prefix exclusively for fixed-line services. However, number portability is available, meaning that a subscriber may retain their 6133 number even if they switch to a different fixed-line operator, as long as the service address remains within the same geographic rate center. It is important to note that the 6133 code is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in Austria are non-geographic and begin with prefixes such as 660, 664, 680, etc.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within the same area code, it is possible to dial only the subscriber number without the area code in many cases, depending on the operator's configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always include the area code when dialing from a different fixed-line zone or from a mobile phone. Foreign callers must replace the leading 0 with the international access code (00 or +) followed by the country code 43.
