Calling from Hungary to foreign countries is pretty much the same as anywhere else. Almost all foreign countries can be direct-dialled. For calling local numbers, no prefix codes are required. Also, find a list of emergency telephone numbers here.
In Hungary there are no rules on how to answer the telephone. You can simply say “ Hello” or “Igen” or “Tessék” and give your name as well.
Dialling local numbers in Hungary:
If you are not sure how to dial a number, just always add the country and area prefix, this will work in any case.
To make a call from a mobile phone to a fixed line number, you always have to dial (06) and the two-digit area prefix.
To call from a mobile to another mobile phone, you must add the prefix code of the mobile service provider of the person you are calling (0620 for Pannon GSM, 0630 for T-Mobile and, 0670 for Vodafone). If you are at the same mobile service provider, just call the number directly without the prefix.
If you are not sure how to dial a number, just always add the country and area prefix, this will work in any case. (eg: 0620…, 0630…, 0670…).
If you have a telephone connection at T-Home, you will get your phone book or a CD-ROM at the post office annually.
In the phone book you can find all numbers in alphabetical order from your locality and often there are also lists of localities on the outskirts. In addition there are the yellow pages ( Arany Oldalak), which have categories ranging from doctors and pharmacies to businesses and craftsmen.
