Hungary

According to ALLCITYCODES.COM, the area code of Hungary is +36. This code is used when making phone calls to Hungary from other countries. It is also used for international text messages sent to and from Hungary. The area code of Hungary is divided into two regions, each with its own unique two-digit prefix. These prefixes are used in combination with the seven-digit local numbers to make a nine-digit phone number. For example, if you wanted to call someone in Budapest, the area code would be 1 followed by a seven-digit local number. Different areas may have different calling plans, so it’s important to check with your service provider before making an international call. In addition to providing access to landlines, the area code of Hungary can also be used for mobile phones. Mobile numbers start with a three-digit prefix followed by a six-digit number. For example, if you wanted to call someone in Budapest on their mobile phone, the area code would be 36 followed by a six-digit local number. It’s important to note that some mobile networks require an additional two or three digits after the initial three digits of the prefix; again, it’s best to check with your service provider before making any international calls or sending texts from abroad. To make an international call from within Hungary, dial 00 followed by the country code and then the full nine or 10 digit phone number you wish to reach; for example, 001 6151234567 for a call to Nashville in Tennessee (country 1 and city 615). When calling within Hungary itself there is no need for an area or country code – simply dial the seven or eight digit local number without any preceding zeros or symbols. Hungary is a parliamentary representative democratic republic. The Prime Minister is the head of government and the President is the head of state. The Prime Minister is elected by the National Assembly, while the President is elected by the general public.
