Regulatory and Technical Notes
This area code is managed by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) and is allocated to Deutsche Telekom as the incumbent local carrier. However, due to carrier selection and number portability, subscribers may be served by other providers. The code is classified as a geographic number, meaning that the tariff for calls to this number is based on the destination's location within Germany. As with all German geographic numbers, calls from mobile phones may be subject to different rates depending on the caller's plan.
There is no overlay code in this region, so the 09947 code is the sole geographic code for the area. The number of digits in the subscriber number can vary, and callers should always verify the complete number with the recipient to ensure correct dialing.
