Croatia

According to ALLCITYCODES.COM, the area code of Croatia is +385, which was adopted in 2003 when the country switched to the ITU-T E.164 numbering system. The code is divided into two parts: ‘+’ and ‘385’. The ‘+’ indicates that the number is international and the ‘385’ identifies the country as Croatia. In Croatia, telephone numbers are usually nine digits long and are divided into four parts: a two-digit area code, a three-digit exchange code, a two-digit line number and an optional one-digit service code. Area codes indicate the geographic region of the phone number and are used to route incoming calls to their respective locations. Exchange codes identify specific local calling areas within each geographic region, while line numbers identify individual subscribers within each local calling area. Service codes are used to access special services such as voicemail or mobile networks. Croatia has seen advances in telecommunication services over recent years, with mobile phone penetration rates increasing rapidly across both rural and urban areas of the country. This has been driven by increased investment in infrastructure improvements as well as technological advancements such as 5G networks being rolled out in major cities across Croatia. As such, it is important for businesses operating within Croatia to ensure they are using the correct area codes when making calls within the country as well as when communicating with other countries around the world.
