Overview of Greek Mobile Prefix 699
The prefix 699 is a non-geographic mobile network code within the Greek national numbering plan, operating under the country calling code +30. Unlike geographic area codes that correspond to specific cities or regions, 699 is allocated to mobile telecommunications services, meaning the number is not tied to a fixed location. Subscribers can use these numbers across Greece and throughout the European Union, subject to roaming agreements.
Technical Specifications and Numbering
Greek mobile numbers, including those beginning with 699, consist of ten digits in the national format: the leading '6' indicates a mobile service, followed by a two-digit mobile network code (MNC) and a seven-digit subscriber number. Thus, a typical 699 number appears as 699 XXXX XXX in national format. When dialed from abroad, the international format is +30 699 XXXX XXX, where the leading zero is omitted and replaced by the +30 country code. This structure complies with ITU-T E.164 recommendations.
Call Routing and Interconnection
Calls to 699 numbers are routed through the Greek PSTN and mobile networks. The prefix 699 is assigned to a specific mobile network operator (MNO) or mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), and number portability allows subscribers to retain their 699 number when switching operators. This means that the prefix does not guarantee a particular operator; it only indicates that the number is mobile and originally allocated within the 699 range. Interconnection between different Greek operators is handled through the national telecommunication regulator, ensuring seamless connectivity.
Dialing Instructions
For local callers within Greece, dial the full ten-digit number starting with 0: 0699 XXXX XXX (the leading 0 is part of the national dialing prefix). For international callers, dial the Greek country code +30 followed by the subscriber number without the leading 0: +30 699 XXXX XXX. When sending SMS or MMS to a 699 number, the same international format is used. It is important to note that 699 numbers are not geographic, so there are no local area codes to consider; the entire number is dialed as a single entity.
Regulatory and Usage Notes
The Greek numbering plan is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT). Mobile numbers beginning with 699 are considered non-geographic, and their use is not restricted to any particular region. They are commonly used for personal mobile services, business lines, and IoT applications. Charges for calls to 699 numbers are typically higher than landline calls, and international roaming rates may apply when the subscriber is outside Greece. For emergency services, users should dial 112, which is the European emergency number, regardless of the mobile prefix.
