Country Code vs. Area Code
+49 routes a call to the Germany numbering plan. A geographic area code then narrows a fixed-line call to a numbering area. Do not create a second “49 area code” page for the same country-code intent.

National Number Format
Generally 3–13 digits after +49; geographic codes vary in length.
A German local network area does not necessarily match municipal or state boundaries. Germany also observes seasonal daylight saving time, and mobile prefixes cannot reliably identify a current operator after portability.
