Area Code 567 – Putussibau

Overview of Area Code +62 567

Area code 567 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Putussibau region in Indonesia. Putussibau is the capital of the Kapuas Hulu Regency, located in the province of West Kalimantan (Kalimantan Barat), on the island of Borneo. This code is part of Indonesia's national numbering plan, which adheres to the ITU-T E.164 standard.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 567 area code serves the telecommunications needs of Putussibau and its surrounding administrative districts within Kapuas Hulu Regency. This includes the urban center of Putussibau and nearby towns and villages that fall under the same local exchange area. The region is characterized by its remote location along the Kapuas River, making reliable fixed-line telephony crucial for local government, businesses, and residents.

Dialing Formats

To call a fixed-line number in Putussibau, you must use the appropriate national or international dialing format.

• National (domestic) dialing: From anywhere within Indonesia, dial 0567-XXXXXXX. The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for domestic calls.
• International dialing: From outside Indonesia, dial +62 567-XXXXXXX. The country code for Indonesia is +62, and the leading '0' of the national prefix is omitted.

For example, a local Putussibau number might be 0567-12345. To call this from the United States, you would dial 011 62 567 12345 (or +62 567 12345 from a mobile phone).

Caller Instructions

For local callers: If you are within the 567 area code, you can often dial just the local subscriber number (XXXXXXX) without the area code for calls to other fixed-line numbers in the same exchange. However, for calls to other area codes within Indonesia, you must include the trunk prefix and area code: 0567-XXXXXXX.

For international callers: Always use the international access code of your country (e.g., 011 in North America, 00 in most European countries), followed by Indonesia's country code 62, then the area code 567 (without the leading zero), and finally the local subscriber number.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the current numbering plan, there is no overlay code for the 567 area. The region uses a closed numbering plan for local calls, meaning the subscriber number length is fixed. The total length of a national significant number (NSN) for Indonesian fixed-line numbers is typically 9 to 11 digits, including the area code but excluding the trunk prefix '0'. For 567, the NSN is usually 10 digits (567 + 7-digit subscriber number).

It is important to note that this area code is exclusively for fixed-line services (PSTN). Mobile numbers in Indonesia are non-geographic and begin with different prefixes (e.g., 0811, 0812, etc.) and are not tied to a specific region.

For the most accurate and up-to-date dialing information, always consult your telecom provider or the official Indonesian numbering plan.
