Dialing Instructions within or to Hungary
How to dial our numbers: +36 1 7866658 – landline or +36 30 6745457 – mobile (cellular)?
Using phones in Hungary can be confusing at first, but here are instructions how to do it.
If you dial a landline from another landline phone in the same area in Hungary, then you do not have to use any prefixes, just dial the number. In our case: 7925080 or 7866658.
If you are calling a number with a different area code, e.g. from another town or from a Hungarian SIM card bearing Mobile phone, then you have to dial the prefix 06 or +36 followed by the area code and the number.
For example to dial our office number outside Budapest you need to dial: 06 1 7925080 or 06 1 7866658.
Similarly, to call any mobile phones from a landline or a Hungarian mobile phone inside Hungary you need to dial 06 followed by the 9-digit mobile number, in our case: 06 30 6745457.
The most certain way to reach a mobile phone from anywhere to everywhere in the world is to dial the prefix + followed by the country code, the mobile area code and the number. To reach us from any local or international mobile phone inside and outside Hungary you need to dial: +36 30 6745457.
