Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, Greece has not introduced overlay codes for this geographic area. The 2463 code is unique to Ptolemaida and does not share numbering with adjacent areas. Subscriber numbers are 7 digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is 10 digits (excluding the trunk prefix).
Number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, but the geographic significance remains tied to the original location.
