Area Code 293 – Magelang/Mungkid/Temanggung

Overview

The +62 293 country and area code combination corresponds to the geographic region of Magelang, Mungkid, and Temanggung in Central Java, Indonesia. This area code is part of the national numbering plan administered under ITU-T E.164, and it is used for fixed-line telephone services within this designated geographic area.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 293 area code serves the administrative regencies of Magelang and Temanggung, as well as the city of Magelang and the town of Mungkid (the capital of Magelang Regency). These areas are located in the central part of Java Island, known for the famous Borobudur Temple. The code is assigned to the local fixed-line network, which is primarily operated by Telkom Indonesia and other licensed local exchange carriers.

Dialing Formats

For domestic callers within Indonesia, the number is dialed as 0293-XXXXXXX (where X represents the local subscriber number). For international callers, the format is +62 293-XXXXXXX or 62 293-XXXXXXX when using a trunk prefix. The local subscriber number typically consists of 6 to 7 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 to 10 digits, including the area code.

Overlay Considerations

As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for the 293 area. The region uses a closed dialing plan, meaning that local calls within the same area code do not require the area code. However, calls from outside the area (but still within Indonesia) must include the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within 293): Dial only the local subscriber number (e.g., 123456).
• Domestic long-distance callers (outside 293): Dial 0-293-XXXXXXX.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 or 011) followed by 62, then 293, and the local subscriber number. Example: +62 293 123456.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

The allocation of geographic area codes in Indonesia is regulated by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and follows the national numbering plan. These codes are used exclusively for PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services, although some VoIP services may also use them for local presence. Number portability for fixed lines is limited, so the area code generally reflects the physical location of the line.
