📍 Geographic Location of Kaposvar
Geographic Overview
The +36 82 country and area code combination is assigned to the geographic region of Kaposvár, the administrative capital of Somogy County in southwestern Hungary. This numbering area covers Kaposvár and its surrounding settlements, including towns such as Dombóvár, Marcali, and Nagyatád. The area code is used for fixed-line telephone services within this designated region, following the Hungarian national numbering plan (ITU-T E.164).
Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in the Kaposvár area from within Hungary, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 06, followed by the area code 82 and the subscriber's six-digit number. For example, a local number such as 123 456 would be dialed as 06 82 123 456 from anywhere within the country. From abroad, callers must use the international access code (typically 00 or +), followed by Hungary's country code 36, the area code 82 (without the leading zero), and the six-digit subscriber number. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +36 82 123 456 internationally.
Local and International Call Guidance
For local callers within the Kaposvár area, it is possible to dial only the six-digit subscriber number when calling another fixed-line subscriber in the same area code. However, for calls from mobile phones or from other geographic areas, the full national format (06 82 ...) is required. International callers should note that the leading zero of the area code is omitted when using the international format. It is also important to be aware that Hungarian fixed-line numbers are not portable across geographic areas; the 82 prefix indicates the physical location of the line, though number portability within the same area is available.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The Hungarian National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH) administers the national numbering plan. The 82 area code is classified as a geographic code, and its use is restricted to fixed-line services. As with other Hungarian geographic codes, the maximum number length for a complete international number is 9 digits (country code + area code + subscriber number). No overlay codes have been introduced for the Kaposvár area, so the 82 prefix remains the sole geographic code for this region. Callers should always verify the current dialing procedures, as changes may occur due to regulatory updates.
