You’ve memorised the misleadingly simple code breakdown,
and are ready to take the plunge (let’s hope you
decided not to drop that tricky calculus course):
Local Calls: Here’s the trick: dial the subscriber’s sixor
seven-digit number, and place the greasy receiver
to your ear.
National Calls: Dial the Croatian city code (023 if you’re
calling Zadar 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 digits.
Mobile phones
Mobile phone use in Zadar 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) 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. SIM Cards
Purchase a Croatian SIM card from one of the following.
They all have numerous selling points throughout the city
if the below addresses aren’t convenient for you.

Post
If all you need to do is send a postcard or a letter, you can
buy stamps on pretty much any kiosk, just make sure
they’re right value for what you are sending and where.
Once you put it on, drop your mail in any post box. These
are the small yellow boxes attached to buildings around
town.
