Overview of the Dutch Mobile Prefix 062
The prefix 062 is a non-geographic mobile network prefix within the Netherlands' national numbering plan, governed by the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). It is part of the broader 06 range, which is exclusively allocated to mobile services. Unlike geographic area codes, 062 numbers are not tied to any specific region or city, making them portable across the country and even across different mobile network operators.
Numbering Structure and Dialing Format
Dutch mobile numbers consist of a national significant number (NSN) of nine digits, beginning with 06, followed by an eight-digit subscriber number. For the 062 prefix, the format is 062 XXXXXXX (e.g., 062 1234567). When dialing internationally, the country code for the Netherlands is +31, and the leading zero of the national prefix is dropped. Thus, the international format becomes +31 62 XXXXXXX (e.g., +31 62 1234567).
Assignment and Portability
Numbers starting with 062 are allocated to various Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in the Netherlands. However, due to mobile number portability (MNP), a 062 number may no longer be associated with its original operator. This means that when calling a 062 number, the caller cannot assume the recipient's network based solely on the prefix. This portability is a key feature of the Dutch numbering plan, ensuring consumer freedom and competition among providers.
Calling Instructions
For callers within the Netherlands, dialing a 062 number requires only the national format: 062 XXXXXXX. There is no need to include an area code, as these numbers are non-geographic. For international callers, the correct dialing sequence is: +31 62 XXXXXXX (or the international access code of the originating country followed by 31 62 XXXXXXX). It is important to omit the leading zero when dialing from abroad.
Usage and Services
062 numbers are used for voice calls, SMS, and mobile data services. They support standard mobile features such as call forwarding, conference calling, and international roaming. As with all Dutch mobile numbers, calls to 062 numbers are typically charged according to the caller's mobile plan, and there are no special premium rates associated with this prefix. For businesses, 062 numbers are often used for direct employee contact, and they can be integrated with VoIP systems for cost-effective communication.
Regulatory Considerations
The ACM regulates the allocation and use of 062 numbers, ensuring compliance with the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC). Operators must adhere to strict guidelines regarding number allocation, porting, and service quality. For end-users, this means reliable service and the ability to switch providers while retaining their number, a practice that is well-established and user-friendly in the Netherlands.
