📍 Geographic Location of Breda
Overview of Area Code +31 76
Area code +31 76 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Netherlands' national numbering plan, as governed by the ITU-T E.164 standard and administered by the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). This code serves the city of Breda and its surrounding municipalities in the province of North Brabant. Breda is a major urban center in the southern Netherlands, known for its historic city center, large service sector, and strategic location near the Belgian border.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The +31 76 area code covers the Breda metropolitan area, including the core city and adjacent towns such as Etten-Leur, Oosterhout, and Roosendaal (partially). The code is assigned to fixed-line services within this region, although number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when moving to other areas or switching to VoIP providers. The administrative jurisdiction falls under the province of North Brabant, and the region is part of the West-Brabant economic zone.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For local callers within the Netherlands, the area code is dialed as 076 followed by the subscriber number, which is typically 6 to 7 digits long. The complete national number is 9 digits (including the leading zero). For example, a local number might be 076 123 4567.
For international callers, the number must be dialed with the country code and without the leading zero. The international format is +31 76 123 4567. When calling from abroad, replace the '+' with your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries).
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for the Breda area; +31 76 is the sole geographic code for this region. However, due to number portability, a number with this area code may be assigned to a subscriber located elsewhere in the Netherlands. Therefore, the area code does not guarantee the caller that the recipient is physically in Breda. For emergency services, always dial 112 (European emergency number) regardless of the area code.
Usage and Services
The +31 76 code is used for both residential and business fixed-line services. Many local businesses, government offices, and public institutions in Breda use this code. VoIP providers also assign numbers with this code to customers who want a local presence. When calling a +31 76 number from a mobile phone within the Netherlands, the call is treated as a national call, and charges depend on the caller's mobile plan. For international callers, standard international rates apply.
