Croatia Area Code
Patrice Mieczkowski
The international call prefix depends on the country of origin of the call, e.g. 00 for most European countries, and 011 from North America. For domestic calls (within the country), 0 must be dialed before the area code. The prefix for international calls from Croatia is 00 (e.g. for a United States number 00 1 xxx should be dialed).
Telephone area codes closely correspond to postal codes in Croatia and are assigned to counties. Both the Zagreb County and the City of Zagreb have the same area code (1), which is further divided into 9 areal subgroups (i.e. from 11 to 19, or 011 to 019 for calls from outside the region).
Since the adoption of mobile number portability, prefixes of existing numbers no longer guarantee that number is in the corresponding mobile network, i.e. carried by the mobile carrier that originally issued the number. Any newly issued number follows the above numbering plan.
As mandated by law, all phones detectable by, or temporarily carried by, Croatian carriers provide unlimited access to state emergency numbers free of charge at all times. The Europe-wide 112 emergency number can be used to contact local fire and police departments and emergency medical and search and rescue services.
Given below is the complete list of area codes in Croatia. The table below shows all the 19 area codes in Croatia. Croatia area codes usually have 1 or 2 digits. While calling Croatia from abroad, you need to dial the ISD code followed by the area code and finally the phone number.
Croatia, officially known as the Republic of Croatia, is a country at the Central and Southeast Europe crossroads on the Adriatic Sea.In the 6th century, Croats arrived, and then by the 9th century, they organized this territory into two ditches. At the same time, Croatia was recognized as independent internationally on 7th June 879 during Duke Branimir's reign.However, currently, Croatia has been recognized by the World Bank as one of the high-income economies. It also ranked very high in the index of Human Development, agriculture, and industrial sector. Even more, tourism is one of the most significant revenue sources here.
Postal Codes in Croatia
Postal Codes in Croatia are based on a 5-digit numeric code. In Croatia, there are twenty defined two digits zones. Zagreb County and Zagreb City have one, every other subdivision of the first level, i.e., one of the Croatian counties has its range.
From the possible 10 one-digit ranges, only five are assigned. These include:
Geography
Croatia is in Southeast and central Europe, located on the Adriatic Coast. The country is bordered by Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Herzegovina. Zagreb is the capital as well as the largest city of Croatia. It also forms the primary subdivision of the country with other twenty counties.Croatia boasts an area of 56,594 sq. km, and its population is 4.07 million.Croatia is one of the richest countries in Europe in terms of biodiversity. Forests are also present in the country significantly. Croatia contains 37,000 known species. However, the actual number lies between 50,000 and 100,000.
Climate
Most of Croatia contains a rainy continental and moderately warm climate. The average monthly temperature of Croatia is ranging from 27F in January and 64 F in July.Gorski Kotar and Lika are the coldest parts of the country where the snowy forested climate can be found at elevations higher than 1,200 meters.
Whenever I receive a call from a number that is not saved in my contacts, the Caller ID shows it incorrectly. It appears as if it's adding a country code that is not correct, or just breaking the number apart incorrectly and showing it coming in from a different country all together. This has only been going on for about a week. The numbers below are in fact US numbers, if you look at the one labeled peru, it should be (513)-393-2193 - I dont know where the extra 6 is coming from. The Argentina number, is actually 877 -698-3261. Again, no idea where the +54 is coming from and the Croatia number is 385 428 1000 - no extra numbers there, it just formatted it incorrectly.
Welcome to our Support Community! Boy, do you have an interesting issue going on. Thanks for already trying the hard reset. It's likely a setting within the phone. Which iPhone are you using? Do you have a T-Mobile SIM inserted in the phone? Are you within the US when trying to call the numbers shown? Lastly, when this started a week ago, was this after a software update or did you change any settings? I'll do my best to help get to the bottom of this!

I share exactly the same problem. Started 2 weeks ago after a T-mobile carrier up-date. My boss lives in Wisconsin and has a 920 area code. He is in my telephone book but he gets not recognized and it shows the call comes from +92 Pakistan. I even got a marketing message from T-Mobile telling that they are adding more countries to my international plan... I live in New Hampshire, area code 603 / +60 is Malaysia. Very annoying.
Has this issue been fixed? My husband and I just started experience this today. Phone calls from my work are coming up as "Greece". I'm guessing since its a 303 number it's coming up as Greece because +30 is the country code for Greece. I have had my work number saved in my phone for 8 years...so why is this just now happening?
I am currently having this issue as well. Honestly, my issues started at the same time, and I have done all the tricks to get this to work properly. This is a T-Mobile issue, and not an IPhone issue. I also have a personal phone I use with a different provider, and I don't have this issue at all....this is the programming done on T-Mobiles end, and they need to fix it....
Feb 21, 2019 - same issue here on all our T-Mobile iPhones. The other family iPhones / colleague iPhones with different carriers using the same current 12.1.4 iOS don't have this issue. It does not seem to make a difference if the incoming caller in my address book or not, nor does it make a difference if they are in my address book and their number has +1 at the front .... most of my incoming calls from local US numbers are all appearing as international inbound calls. For example I live in 610 area code and calls are coming in as +61 Australia.
I have been working with T-Mobile tech support. The reset the caller the ID on all the phones (disable / re-enable / re-entered the names) and reset the Home Locator Registry. it has been 3 days and it *seems* to have fixed the problem on the phones. We are monitoring and will wait for a full week from today before closing the ticket.
If you check under 'phone' in setting (iPhone users), the 'My Number' probably has a + in front of your phone number. I tried removing the + by re-entering my phone number and it would not accept the change.
I just purchased an Apple iPhone one week ago and it is now having this issue after using it for five days. I am not sure what is going on. It is really frustrating when loved ones are calling in and it is recognizing the phone number from a foreign country. Please let me know what can be done and how I can get this fixed.
The results with a small "plus in a box" to the right of the number are businesses. If you click on that icon you will go to a map showing where the business is located.
The village/town/city is the first name to appear to the right of the name. Most villages are linked to maps which means that if you click on the village name, a small map will be shown. In some cases the street address is also linked. This means it's a city or larger town. If you click on that link, you will go to a street map. Note that Croatian letters with the diacritical marks are shown. This is a good way to check the proper Croatian spelling of a name.
Information on the meaning of "Pok." which is found after many names is at the bottom of this page.
The phone number is to the right. The country code for Croatia is 385. The + in front of it is for the code that you must use to call out of your country (for the US it's 011). The area code is shown after "(+385)". For example, for #12 the area code is "23". The area code, by the way, is also the first 2 numbers of the postal code (except for cell phones). However, the postal code for Zagreb is "1" if you are calling from outside of Croatia, and "01" if you are calling from inside Croatia. A map of these area codes and corresponding counties can be seen here. This can help narrow your search if you are trying to locate the village. To find postal codes, go here (also see more information below).
For line #19 the area code is "98". This (and any area code starting with a 9) is a cell phone. These can be in any part of Croatia but here the village is given (Sinj). The full address is often not given with cell phones. A letter addressed to just a name and village (without the street address) will often get to the right person in villages but probably not in larger towns and definitely not in cities. Not all cell phones have been set up (by the user) to receive calls from outside of Croatia.
Any information after the town or city name should go on line 2 of the address (below the person's name). For example, in #24 above, the address is:
Ana Ivkovic
Koprivnic"ka 29
HR-xxxxx, Varaz"din
Croatia, Europe
But now we must find the postal code for Varaz"din. To do this, go here:
=193
Part of the screen will look like this:
But this database is not as easy to use as the on-line phone directory. Here you must use the Croatian alphabet. So if your address has a village with no diacritical marks on any of the letters, then you are home free. (See about the Croatian alphabet here and about how the Croatian alphabet is shown on this website here.) But you will see that "Varazdin" gets no results. So the Z is probably the Z with a small v over it. If you know how to enter it from your English-based keyboard, great. But otherwise click on one of the choices under "town within counties" on the right column, look around until you find the appropriate letter somewhere within a village name, and copy the single letter (upper or lower case, it makes no difference). Then go back to the form and fill in Varaz"din and you will see a result like this (we used the upper case Z").
In this case, the top result is the right one. 42000 is the postal code. If it was one of the other villages, it would have had the full village name in the address shown in the on-line phone directory.
This is sure a tedious process but it's the best we can do until they change the database to accept English-only letters (as the phone company has done).
Misc. information in the on-line phone book
There is some information in the Croatian on-line phone book that can help you in addressing a letter or in finding the right person. Let's check over this list of Ante Ivkovic's, below.
"Pok." after a name means "of the deceased". (pok. = pokonji) Numbers 67-71 above are giving their deceased father's name to help better identify themselves. Notice that there are 3 Ante Ivkovic's in the same village of Brnaze. Putting the deceased father's name after the person's name on an evelope is the proper way to get the letter to the right person.
