Overview of Dutch Mobile Prefix 064
In the Netherlands, the national numbering plan follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations, with country calling code +31. Mobile numbers are non-geographic and are identified by a two-digit mobile prefix that begins with '06' when dialed nationally. The prefix 064 is part of this range and is used exclusively for mobile services. When dialing from abroad, the leading '0' is dropped, and the number is formatted as +31 64 ....
Number Structure and Formatting
Dutch mobile numbers consist of a national significant number (NSN) of nine digits, including the mobile prefix. Thus, a full mobile number with prefix 064 comprises the prefix '064' followed by seven additional digits, resulting in a total of ten digits when dialed within the Netherlands. For international callers, the number is written as +31 64 followed by seven digits, with no leading zero. For example, a typical number might be +31 64 123 4567.
Allocation and Portability
The prefix 064 is allocated to mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) under the authority of the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). These numbers are not tied to a specific geographic location, enabling users to retain their number when moving within the country. Mobile number portability (MNP) is fully implemented, allowing subscribers to switch operators while keeping their existing number, including those starting with 064.
Dialing Instructions
- Domestic calls: Dial the full 10-digit number, e.g., 064 123 4567.
- International calls to the Netherlands: Dial your country's exit code, then 31, then 64, followed by the seven-digit subscriber number. For example, from the US/Canada: 011 31 64 123 4567.
- Calls from the Netherlands abroad: Dial the international prefix 00, then the destination country code, etc.
Usage and Services
Numbers with prefix 064 support all standard mobile services, including voice, SMS, MMS, and mobile data (4G/5G). They are used for both personal and business purposes. As non-geographic numbers, they are not subject to regional tariffs; instead, call charges depend on the caller's plan and the recipient's network. When receiving calls from abroad, the called party may incur international roaming charges if outside the Netherlands, but incoming calls while in the Netherlands are typically free for the receiver.
Regulatory Considerations
The ACM oversees the assignment and management of numbering resources. Mobile numbers, including those starting with 064, are issued in blocks to operators, who then assign them to subscribers. There are no overlay or area-code-specific restrictions for mobile numbers, as they are inherently non-geographic. For VoIP or fixed-line services, different prefixes apply.
For businesses, using a 064 number can enhance accessibility, as it is recognized as a standard mobile number. When integrating such numbers into customer communication, ensure proper formatting in international contexts to avoid dialing errors.
