Caller Instructions

For local callers within the same area code, it is often possible to dial only the subscriber number without the area code, depending on the local dialing rules. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format, especially when calling from mobile networks. For international callers, always replace the leading '0' with the +43 country code. Ensure that you have the correct international exit code for your country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America).
