Questions about +382
Which country is +382?
+382, or country code 382, belongs to Montenegro. Podgorica, the capital, dials with area code 020.
What is +382?
+382 is the part you dial before a Montenegro number when you call from another country. It replaces the trunk 0.
What is the difference between +382 and 00382?
The + stands for your own exit code. 00 is the exit code in Montenegro, Europe, and most of the world, so 00382 and +382 reach the same number there. From the US or Canada, dial 011 382 instead.
Do I drop the 0 after +382?
Yes. The 0 is Montenegro's trunk prefix and works only inside the country. Dial +382 30 234 567, not +382 030 234 567.
Can I text a +382 number?
Yes. Write the number as +382 without its 0, and your carrier sends the text abroad at its international rate.
