Area Code 413 – Bulukumba/Bantaeng

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The area code +62 413 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the southern part of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Specifically, it serves the regencies of Bulukumba and Bantaeng, located on the southern tip of the island's peninsula. These regencies are administrative regions under the province of South Sulawesi, with Bulukumba as the larger population center and Bantaeng situated to its west. The code covers the capital towns and surrounding districts within these regencies, including Bulukumba town, Bantaeng town, and their respective kecamatan (sub-districts).

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For domestic callers within Indonesia, the trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. Thus, to call a fixed-line number in Bulukumba or Bantaeng from elsewhere in Indonesia, you would dial: 0 413 XXXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber number, typically 6 to 7 digits). For example, a local number might be 0413 123456.

For international callers, the country code +62 replaces the trunk prefix. The international format is +62 413 XXXX XXX. For instance, if the domestic number is 0413 123456, the international dialing format would be +62 413 123456 (note the omission of the leading zero). When dialing from abroad, you must use the plus sign (+) followed by the country code, area code (without the leading zero), and the subscriber number.

Local calls within the same area code (Bulukumba/Bantaeng) may be made using only the subscriber number, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for calls from other regions in Indonesia, the full domestic format is required.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for this area. The 413 code is exclusively used for fixed-line services (PSTN) in these regencies. Subscriber numbers are typically 6 to 7 digits long, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 to 10 digits when including the area code. The code is not used for mobile services, which are allocated separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 0811, 0812, etc.).

For callers, it is important to note that when dialing from a mobile phone within Indonesia, the trunk prefix 0 is still required for geographic numbers. For international callers, ensure you have the correct country code and omit the leading zero of the area code. Always verify the current number format with the local service provider, as numbering plans can be updated by the Indonesian telecommunications regulator (SDPPI).
