hívószámot

Hívószámot is a Hungarian term that translates to "calling number" or "area code." It refers to a specific numerical code that is part of a telephone number. In Hungary, hívószámot is used to identify the geographical region or a specific service provider associated with a landline phone number.

When making a phone call within Hungary, a hívószámot is dialed before the local subscriber number. For example, calling a landline in Budapest requires dialing the Budapest hívószámot. These codes are assigned to different cities and counties across the country. Mobile phone numbers in Hungary do not use geographical hívószámot in the same way; they are identified by their network operator's prefix.

International calls to Hungary also utilize a hívószámot. After dialing the international access code for the caller's country, the Hungarian country code (36) is dialed, followed by the appropriate regional hívószámot and then the local number. Understanding and using the correct hívószámot is essential for establishing a successful phone connection to a Hungarian landline. The system ensures that calls are routed correctly to their intended destination within the Hungarian telecommunications network.
