📍 Geographic Location of Wormeldange
Geographic Overview
The +352 2476 numbering range is a geographic allocation within the Luxembourg national numbering plan, specifically associated with the locality of Wormeldange. Wormeldange is a small commune situated in the canton of Grevenmacher, in the eastern part of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, along the Moselle River. This area is known for its vineyards and wine production, forming part of the 'Moselle Luxembourgeoise' wine region. The prefix 2476 is used for fixed-line telephone services within this commune and its immediate surroundings, including the villages of Wormeldange-Haut, Machtum, and Ehnen.
Dialing Procedures
Luxembourg uses a closed dialing plan, meaning that the full national number must always be dialed, even for local calls. The national significant number (NSN) for geographic numbers is 9 digits long, beginning with the digit '2' for fixed-line services. The prefix 2476 is part of this 9-digit number. For example, a local number in Wormeldange might be formatted as 2476 1234 (a total of 9 digits).
- Local calls (within Luxembourg): Dial the full 9-digit number, e.g., 2476 1234. There is no trunk prefix like '0' in Luxembourg.
- International calls from abroad: Dial the international access code (00 or +), then the Luxembourg country code 352, followed by the full 9-digit number. For example, from the United States, you would dial 011 352 2476 1234 or +352 2476 1234 from a mobile phone.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The Luxembourg Institut Luxembourgeois de Régulation (ILR) oversees the allocation of numbering resources. Geographic numbers like those starting with 2476 are typically assigned to fixed-line operators, such as POST Luxembourg, which historically holds the majority of such ranges. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their 2476 numbers when switching to other fixed-line or VoIP providers, so the prefix does not guarantee the underlying technology or operator.
As with all Luxembourgish geographic numbers, calls to 2476 numbers are charged according to the caller's tariff plan. For callers within Luxembourg, these are usually included in national call bundles. For international callers, standard international rates apply. It is important to note that Luxembourg does not use area codes in the traditional sense; the entire country is one numbering plan area, and the first digit '2' indicates a fixed-line service, but the following digits (including 2476) denote the specific exchange area.
For businesses or residents in Wormeldange, having a 2476 number provides a local presence, which can be beneficial for local customer trust. When dialing from abroad, always include the country code +352 and drop any leading '0' if present, though in Luxembourg no leading zero is used.
