Area Code 260 – Subang

Geographic Overview

The +62 260 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Subang region in West Java, Indonesia. Subang is a regency (kabupaten) located approximately 120 km east of Jakarta, known for its agricultural output, including rice and tea, as well as the Patenggang Lake tourist area. The code covers the administrative capital, Subang City, and the surrounding districts within the regency. Major towns served include Subang, Kalijati, and Pagaden. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including traditional copper lines and, increasingly, VoIP-based fixed services.

Dialing Formats

To call a Subang fixed-line number from within Indonesia (outside the area), dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 260, and then the subscriber number (typically 5-7 digits). For example, a local number might be 123456, so the domestic long-distance format would be 0260 123456. When calling from abroad, you dial the Indonesian country code +62, then the area code without the leading zero, followed by the subscriber number: +62 260 123456. For local calls within the Subang area, the area code is often omitted, and you dial only the subscriber number.

Overlay and Numbering Plan

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for the Subang area. The 260 code is exclusively assigned to this geographic region. However, with the growth of VoIP and fixed-wireless access, some numbers under this code may be routed over IP networks, but they remain geographically tied for regulatory and emergency service purposes. The subscriber number length can vary, so it is advisable to confirm the exact number of digits with your contact or service provider.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within Subang can dial the 5-7 digit subscriber number directly without the area code.
• Domestic callers from other Indonesian regions must dial 0260 before the subscriber number.
• International callers should dial their country's exit code (e.g., 00 or +), then 62, then 260, and the subscriber number, omitting the leading zero.

Regulatory and Service Notes

Fixed-line numbers in Indonesia are regulated by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). The 260 code is part of the PSTN network, and calls to these numbers are typically charged at domestic fixed-line rates. For businesses, having a local Subang number can enhance local presence and customer trust. If you are traveling to Subang, ensure your mobile phone includes the area code when saving numbers, as many contacts may store numbers in the 0X format.
