Caller Instructions
- Local callers within Pirot: In many fixed-line networks, local calls can be made using only the six-digit subscriber number, without the area code. However, due to number portability and multi-operator environments, it is recommended to always dial the full domestic format 010 XXXXXX to ensure proper routing.
- Domestic callers from other regions of Serbia: Dial 0 followed by 10 and the subscriber number: 010 XXXXXX.
- International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America), then Serbia's country code 381, then the area code 10 (without the leading zero), and the six-digit subscriber number: +381 10 XXXXXX.
