Area Code 58 – Roznava

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +421 58 country and area code combination is assigned to the geographic region of Rožňava, a town and district in the Košice Region of eastern Slovakia. This code covers the administrative district of Rožňava (okres Rožňava) and its surrounding municipalities, including the towns of Dobšiná and Jelšava, as well as numerous villages in the Slovak Ore Mountains (Slovenské rudohorie) and the Slovak Karst (Slovenský kras) areas. The region is known for its mining history and natural landmarks, such as the Ochtinská Aragonite Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Slovakia, the national trunk prefix '0' is used before the area code. Therefore, a local call to a Rožňava landline number is dialed as 058 XXX XXXX (where X represents the subscriber's local number). For international callers, the country code +421 is used, and the leading '0' of the national prefix is omitted. The international format is +421 58 XXX XXXX. For example, a number in Rožňava might be dialed as +421 58 123 4567 from abroad, or 058 123 4567 from within Slovakia.

Numbering Plan and Overlay Considerations

Slovakia's numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation, with geographic area codes ranging from 2 to 4 digits. The 58 code is a two-digit National Destination Code (NDC) that is not overlaid with other codes; each geographic area has a unique code. Subscriber numbers within the 58 code are seven digits long, making the total national significant number length nine digits (including the leading '0' for national dialing). There are no overlay codes in this region, so local calls do not require additional digit dialing.

Technical Notes for Callers

When calling from a mobile phone in Slovakia, the same national format (058 XXX XXXX) applies, but note that mobile operators may route calls differently based on the caller's plan. For international callers, it is essential to replace the '+' with the appropriate international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries). Additionally, if you are calling from a VoIP service, ensure that you have correctly entered the country code and area code without any leading zeros.

For businesses and residents in the Rožňava district, this code is used for fixed-line PSTN services, and it is not associated with mobile or non-geographic services. As with all geographic codes, the cost of calls to +421 58 numbers is typically higher than local calls, but lower than calls to mobile networks. Always check with your service provider for specific international calling rates.
