Geographic Overview
The +385 48 country-code prefix is the geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Koprivnica-Križevci County, located in the northern part of Croatia, bordering Hungary. This area is part of the Podravina region, known for its agricultural production and the city of Koprivnica, which serves as the county seat.

Dialing Formats
When dialing a fixed-line number in this region, the national subscriber number is eight digits long, beginning with the NDC '48' followed by a six-digit local number. The format for domestic calls within Croatia is: 0 48 XXX XXX. The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for national calls. For international callers, the Croatian country code (+385) replaces the trunk prefix, resulting in the format: +385 48 XXX XXX. For example, a local number in Koprivnica might be dialed as 048 123 456 from within Croatia, or as +385 48 123 456 from abroad.
Geographic Allocation and Numbering
This prefix is a geographic code, meaning that the number is tied to a physical location and the local telephone exchange. Calls to +385 48 are typically routed over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and are charged according to the caller's tariff, often as a national or international call depending on the caller's location. The code is administered by the Croatian Regulatory Authority for Network Industries (HAKOM), which oversees the national numbering plan in accordance with ITU-T E.164 recommendations.
Overlays and Number Portability
Currently, there is no overlay code for the Koprivnica-Križevci area, so the 048 prefix is unique to this region. However, number portability is available in Croatia, allowing subscribers to retain their geographic numbers even if they switch service providers. This means that a number with the 048 prefix may not necessarily be served by the original incumbent operator, but it remains associated with the geographic area for routing purposes.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the Koprivnica-Križevci area, it is possible to dial the six-digit subscriber number without the area code if the call is within the same local calling area. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. For callers from other parts of Croatia, dial 0 48 followed by the local number. For international callers, dial +385 48 followed by the local number. Always check with your service provider for applicable charges, as rates may vary.
