📍 Geographic Location of Tipperary
Geographic Overview
The +353 6299 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Tipperary area of Ireland. Specifically, it serves the town of Cashel and its surrounding rural hinterland in County Tipperary, within the province of Munster. Cashel is renowned for the Rock of Cashel, a historic site that attracts tourism, and the code covers both residential and business lines in this region.
Dialing Formats
When calling a number in this area from within Ireland, you must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the NDC and the subscriber number. For example, a local number might be dialed as 062 99123 (where '062' is the short form of the area code for Cashel, but with the 6299 prefix, the full national format is 062 99xxx). However, the standard international format from abroad is +353 62 99xxx (dropping the leading zero). For instance, if the local number is 99123, you would dial +353 62 99123 from outside Ireland.
Note that the NDC '6299' is part of the larger '062' area code group, which covers Cashel and parts of South Tipperary. When dialing within the same local area, it may be possible to omit the area code, but for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national or international format.
Geographic Allocation and Numbering
This prefix is a geographic allocation, meaning it is tied to a physical location. The subscriber number length is typically 5 to 7 digits after the NDC, but with the '6299' prefix, the remaining subscriber number is usually 5 digits (e.g., 99xxx). The total number length after the country code is 9 digits (including the NDC), consistent with the Irish national numbering plan.
