Rijeka 12.indd - In Your Pocket

Making the call
You’ve memorised the misleadingly simple code breakdown,
and are ready to take the plunge (let’s hope you‘ve
decided not to drop that tricky calculus course). Local
Calls: Here’s the trick: dial the subscriber’s six- or sevendigit
number, and place the greasy receiver to your ear.
National Calls: Dial the Croatian city code (051 if you’re
calling Rijeka for instance) followed by the subscriber’s
number. Calling Abroad: Dial 00 (the international
access code), the appropriate country code, a city or
area code if applicable and the subscriber’s number.
Calling Croatia from Abroad: Dial your international
access code, 385 (Croatia’s country code), the city code
(dropping the initial 0) and the subscriber’s number.
Calling a Mobile: Mobile numbers are 9 or 10-digits
and begin with either 091, 092, 095, 098 or 099. Dial
the subscriber’s number and wait for a human voice.
For an international call to a Croatian mobile, dial your
international acess code, 385 (country code), drop the
0, and then dial the remaining 8 digits.

Mobile phones
Mobile phone use in Rijeka is typical to most everywhere
in Europe: they appear to be permanent growths that
have attached themselves to ears or cheeks. Unique
however, are the numerous and exciting tonal renditions
of show-tunes and 80s glam-rock that shatter the
most tranquil of moments. It seems that churches and
cinemas remain the only structures holy enough to
warrant the tragic silent-mode designation in this central
European location. The networks that exist are VIP (091),
T-Mobile (098, 099) and Tele 2 (095) and their SIM cards
can be bought all over the place. Buy pay-as-you-go cards
in news kiosks, or top up at a cash machine.
