The area code is managed by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) and is allocated to Deutsche Telekom and other carriers that provide fixed-line services in the region.

For local callers within the Meinerzhagen area, it is possible to dial the subscriber number without the area code if the call originates from within the same local network.
