Number details

What to check before using the 36 country code

Country codes are only one part of an international phone number. Exit codes, area codes, mobile prefixes, and local numbering rules can change how the final number should be dialed.

Exit code or plus format

On a mobile phone, the plus sign usually replaces exit codes such as 00 or 011. From a landline, use the international access code for the country you are calling from, then 36.

Country calling code, dial code, or prefix

People may call 36 the Hungary country code, country calling code, phone code, dial code, or international prefix. In each case, use +36 before the rest of the Hungary number.

Mobile phone or landline

After +36, the next digits may be an area code, mobile prefix, service prefix, or local number. Check whether you are calling a mobile phone or landline because rates can differ.

Hungary country code +36

Hungary country code, Hungary phone code, Hungary area code, Hungary code, Hungary calling code, Hungary dialing code, Hungary tel code, 36 country code, and prefix Ungaria searches usually refer to +36.

Drop domestic 06 from abroad

Hungary uses 06 for domestic long-distance dialing. In international format, do not dial 06; use +36 followed by the area or mobile code and the subscriber number.

Budapest and geographic area codes

Budapest uses area code 1, so a Budapest landline can be written as +36 1 234 5678. Many other Hungarian geographic codes are two digits and use eight national digits after +36.

Hungary mobile numbers

Hungary mobile and non-geographic numbers commonly use codes such as 20, 30, 31, 50, or 70 with nine national digits after +36. Number portability means the prefix alone may not prove the current carrier.

Nearby country-code searches

Romanian, Austrian, Dutch, UK, and US phone-number searches in the Hungary sheet are separate destination intents. Use +36 for Hungary, +40 for Romania, +43 for Austria, +31 for the Netherlands, +44 for the UK, and +1 for the US or Canada.
