Geographic Overview
The +31 418 area code is a geographic destination code within the Netherlands' national numbering plan, assigned to the municipality of Zaltbommel and its surrounding communities in the province of Gelderland.

Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in this region from within the Netherlands, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number, omitting the country code. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0418 123456. From abroad, callers must use the international prefix (typically + or 00), followed by the Netherlands country code 31, the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number: +31 418 123456.
Numbering Structure
Subscriber numbers within the 418 area code consist of six digits, making the total national significant number length (excluding trunk prefix) nine digits (including the area code). This structure aligns with the ITU-T E.164 recommendation for the Netherlands, which mandates a maximum of 12 digits for international numbers. The allocation of six-digit subscriber numbers is typical for geographic codes serving smaller municipalities.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the 418 area code, it is possible to dial only the six-digit subscriber number when calling another local number, as the network recognizes the call as local. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format. For international callers, it is essential to drop the leading zero of the area code when dialing from abroad. For example, a caller from the United States would dial 011 31 418 123456.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
Geographic area codes in the Netherlands are administered by the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). The 418 code is not subject to overlay or area code changes as of the latest updates. Number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, but the geographic significance of the code remains tied to the original location. Calls to 418 numbers are typically charged at standard national rates for landline calls, depending on the caller's own tariff plan.
