📍 Geographic Location of Bolzano/Bozen
Overview of Area Code 0471
Area code 0471 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Italian national numbering plan, governed by the Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni (AGCOM) and compliant with ITU-T E.164 recommendations. It serves the province of Bolzano/Bozen (South Tyrol), an autonomous province in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of northern Italy. The code covers the provincial capital Bolzano (Italian) / Bozen (German) and its surrounding municipalities, including but not limited to Laives/Leifers, Bronzolo/Branzoll, Ora/Auer, Vadena/Pfatten, and Terlano/Terlan. This area is notable for its bilingual (Italian and German) administrative and public communication landscape.
Dialing Formats and Usage
From within Italy, callers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The national significant number (NSN) for a geographic number in Bolzano is 0471 XXX XXX (where X represents digits), resulting in a total of 10 digits including the leading zero. For example, a local number might be 0471 123 456. When dialing from abroad, the leading zero is omitted, and the international prefix of the originating country is used. Thus, an international caller would dial +39 471 123 456. It is important to note that Italian geographic numbers are not portable to mobile networks, but they can be ported among fixed-line operators within the same exchange area.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within the 0471 area must always dial the full NDC (including the 0) even for calls within the same town, as Italy does not use local dialing without the area code. International callers should replace the leading 0 with the +39 country code. For example, a caller from the United States would dial 011 39 471 123 456; from the United Kingdom, 00 39 471 123 456. Calls to 0471 numbers from mobile phones within Italy also require the 0 prefix.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The province of Bolzano/Bozen has a unique status due to its autonomy, but the numbering plan remains consistent with national regulations. There are no overlay codes currently assigned for this area; 0471 remains the sole geographic code for the region. Numbering capacity is managed to accommodate the population and business density, with a mix of traditional PSTN and VoIP services. As with all Italian geographic codes, the cost of calls to 0471 numbers depends on the caller's tariff plan, with no premium rates applied unless otherwise specified.
