0222
Brothas and sistas!
Do you remember the time when Vienna had the telephone area code 0222?
The Postal Services — there wasn’t a “Telecom” back then — changed 0222 to the international standard 01 in the mid-90ies.
Just five minutes ago Thomas Thurner told me that the area code 0222 still works. Couldn’t believe it, but it’s true.

Wow, that’s true– I just checked! I am of course not Viennese, Austrian or even European; and had no clue that the code used to be 0222. But it’ll be fun to tell the Viennese/Austrian colleagues about their city now :-))
