📍 Geographic Location of Szerencs
Geographic Overview
The Hungarian area code +36 47 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Szerencs and its surrounding administrative district in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, northeastern Hungary. This allocation follows the ITU-T E.164 international numbering standard, ensuring unambiguous global routing. The code covers Szerencs itself, along with nearby settlements such as Bekecs, Legyesbénye, Mád, Mezőzombor, and Taktaharkány, which form part of the Szerencs District.
Dialing Formats and Procedures
For callers within Hungary, the national trunk prefix 0 is dialed before the area code, followed by the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 47 XX XX XX, where the subscriber number typically consists of six digits. For example, a local Szerencs number might be dialed as 0 47 123 456 from any other part of Hungary.
International callers must replace the trunk prefix with Hungary's country code +36, omitting the leading zero. Thus, the same number is dialed as +36 47 123 456 from abroad. When calling within the same geographic area (i.e., from another Szerencs number), it is possible to dial only the six-digit subscriber number, omitting the area code, depending on the local network configuration.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The Hungarian National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH) administers numbering resources. The 47 area code is a geographic code, meaning that the tariff for calls to this number is typically based on the caller's location and the distance, although many modern fixed-line plans offer flat-rate national calling. The code is not portable to mobile networks; however, number portability within the fixed network is possible, allowing subscribers to retain their number when changing service providers within the same geographic area.
For businesses and residents in Szerencs, having a local geographic number can enhance local presence and trust. Callers from abroad should note that international rates apply, and it is advisable to check with their service provider for specific charges.
