Questions about +36

Which country is +36?

+36, or country code 36, belongs to Hungary. No other country shares this code.

What is +36?

+36 is the code you dial before a Hungarian number when you call from outside Hungary. It replaces the 06 trunk prefix.

What is the difference between +36 and 0036?

The + stands for your own exit code. 00 is the exit code in Hungary, Europe, and most of the world, so 0036 and +36 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 36 instead.

Is the HU country code the same as +36?

No. HU is the ISO code of Hungary, used in forms, addresses, and domain lists. The number you dial is +36.

Do I drop the 06 after +36?

Yes. 06 is the Hungarian trunk prefix and works only inside Hungary. Dial +36 1 234 5678, not +36 06 1 234 5678.

Can I text a +36 number?

Yes. Write the number as +36 without its leading 06, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's rate.

How much does it cost to call Hungary?

A call to a Hungarian mobile costs more than a call to a landline. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.

Why does Budapest have area code 1?

Budapest's area code is 1, the shortest in Hungary. Every other Hungarian city uses a two digit code, such as 52 for Debrecen or 62 for Szeged.
