For international callers, the full E.164 format is +36 54 XX XX XX. The leading trunk prefix '0' is used only for domestic calls within Hungary; international callers must omit it.

Caller Instructions
Local callers within the same area code can typically dial the 6-digit subscriber number without the area code, depending on the operator's local dialing plan. However, for calls from other Hungarian regions, dial 0 54 followed by the subscriber number. International callers should use their country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America) followed by 36 54 and the subscriber number.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The +36 54 prefix is a geographic allocation under the Hungarian Communications Authority (NMHH). It is primarily used by traditional fixed-line operators, but since the liberalization of the Hungarian telecom market, alternative carriers and VoIP providers may also offer numbers with this prefix, subject to number portability rules. Subscribers can retain their +36 54 numbers when switching providers, but the geographic association remains tied to the Berettyóújfalu exchange area. Overlay codes have not been introduced in this region, so no additional area codes are required for new lines.
For businesses, having a local Berettyóújfalu number can enhance trust among regional customers and reduce the cost of local calls. However, note that calls to +36 54 numbers from mobile networks may incur higher tariffs depending on the caller's plan, and international rates vary by operator.
