Area Code 29 – Monor

Geographic Overview of Area Code +36 29

Area code +36 29 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Monor telephone exchange area in Hungary. This numbering area falls under the administrative jurisdiction of Pest County, within the Central Hungary statistical region. The primary city served is Monor, a town located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Budapest. The code also covers surrounding settlements and villages within the Monor district, including but not limited to Bénye, Csévharaszt, Gomba, Káva, Monorierdő, Nyáregyháza, Péteri, and Vasad. This area is part of the Budapest metropolitan area's commuter belt, with many residents working in the capital.

Dialing Formats

When dialing a landline number within the Monor area, the standard national format is:

• Local dialing (within the same exchange): Typically, only the subscriber number is required, but in Hungary, due to closed numbering plan, you must always dial the full national number, including the area code, even for local calls. Therefore, local calls are dialed as 29 XXX XXX (where X represents the subscriber digits).
• National dialing (from other parts of Hungary): Dial 29 XXX XXX (without the leading trunk prefix '0' if using the international format; but within Hungary, you dial 06 29 XXX XXX).
• International dialing (from abroad): Dial +36 29 XXX XXX (or 00 36 29 XXX XXX from most countries).

For example, a typical Monor landline number might be +36 29 500 123. When calling from the United States, you would dial 011 36 29 500 123. From the United Kingdom, you would dial 00 36 29 500 123.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T and NMHH (National Media and Infocommunications Authority) data, there is no overlay code for the Monor area. The area code 29 is exclusively used for geographic numbers in this region. Subscriber numbers within this code are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a total national significant number length of 8 digits (excluding the leading '0' trunk prefix). The Hungarian numbering plan is closed, meaning that the full national number must always be dialed, even for local calls.

Caller Instructions

• For local callers: Always dial 29 followed by the 6-digit subscriber number, even if you are calling from a phone in the same area code.
• For international callers: Replace the trunk prefix '0' with the country code +36 and then dial 29 followed by the subscriber number. Do not add any extra '0' before the area code.

This area code is part of Hungary's geographic numbering plan, ensuring that calls are routed to the correct physical exchange. For any number portability inquiries, note that geographic numbers can be ported to other operators, but the area code remains indicative of the original geographic location.
