📍 Geographic Location of Gorizia
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The Italian national destination code 048 is a geographic area code assigned to the province of Gorizia, located in the autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy. The code serves the provincial capital, Gorizia, as well as the surrounding municipalities and towns, including Monfalcone, Gradisca d'Isonzo, Cormons, and Ronchi dei Legionari. The area is bordered by Slovenia to the east, and the code covers both the Italian side of the historic border city of Gorizia and its immediate hinterland.
Dialing Formats and Numbering Structure
Within Italy, calls to landlines in the Gorizia area require dialing the full national significant number, which includes the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code 48 and the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 48 XXXX XXX, where the subscriber number typically consists of 6 to 7 digits. For example, a local number in Gorizia might be 0481 234567. When dialing from abroad, the leading 0 is omitted, and the international format becomes +39 48 XXXX XXX (e.g., +39 481 234567). It is important to note that the Italian numbering plan does not use a separate trunk prefix for international calls; the +39 country code replaces the initial 0.
Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations
As of the current numbering plan, the 048 area code does not have an overlay code. Subscribers within the province share the same geographic code, and local calls are typically charged at local rates. However, due to the proximity to the Slovenian border, cross-border calling between Gorizia and nearby Slovenian towns may incur international charges, and special agreements or roaming-like tariffs may apply for mobile users near the border. For fixed-line callers, it is essential to always include the area code when dialing from outside the local area, even for calls within the same province but from a different exchange.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within the 048 area): For calls within the same exchange, you may dial only the subscriber number. However, for calls to other exchanges within the 048 area, you must dial the full national number including the area code: 048 XXXX XXX.
- National callers (from other Italian provinces): Dial 0 48 XXXX XXX.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or +), then 39 48 XXXX XXX.
For businesses and residents, it is advisable to always store and display numbers in international format (+39 48...) to facilitate communication with international partners and to avoid confusion when roaming or using VoIP services.
