There are certain activation requirements and service restrictions that apply to using Genesys Cloud Voice in Austria.

Activation requirements

  • Geographic numbers can be assigned only if the enterprise is physically located within the area associated with the number. These numbers are based on city area codes. For example, an enterprise located in Vienna would have numbers with that city area code: (+43-1-XXX-XXXX). Numbers are not available in all cities. Availability depends on our supplier inventory and current availability in the market. The Genesys Cloud Voice Number Management interface, which allows you to purchase DID and toll-free numbers, provides the most current information about the availability of numbers in any geographic area.
  • For geographic numbers, the customer must provide a corresponding address in Austria for number activation. Austrian regulations require proof of the provided address in the form of an existing contract or invoice issued in the last 6 months for fixed line telephone service or internet connection with a fixed IP address.
  • Domestic toll-free numbers in Austria start with prefix (0800). A domestic toll-free number does not require an address for activation. These numbers can only be called within Austria from landlines and mobile phones. Note that there is a regulatory process requirement for obtaining domestic toll-free numbers in Austria. The numbers per order are limited in quantity and can take a few days to weeks for ordering/activation.
  • Customers must provide their Austria VAT number at time of number purchase.

Service restrictions

  • Porting numbers in Austria depends on specific carrier agreements and is not guaranteed. If you are not sure, you can submit the list of numbers to the appropriate porting team for verification prior to requesting a port. For more information, see Genesys Cloud Voice support.
  • Genesys Cloud Voice does not offer non-geographic numbers (NGN). However, we constantly evaluate customer requirements and may offer these numbers in the future.
