Telephone Numbers in The Czech Republic

Telephone Numbers In The Czech Republic

Following the break-up of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the successor states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, continued to share the 42 country code, until 1997, with the Czech Republic adopting 420 and Slovakia adopting 421.

Country Code: +420
International Call Prefix: 00
Trunk Prefix: none

On September 22, 2002, the Czech Republic adopted a closed numbering plan, with nine-digit numbers used for local and national calls, and the dropping of the trunk code 0.

Before the change, the following arrangements would have been made for calls to Brno:

Local call: xx xx xx xx National call: 05/xx xx xx xx International call: +420 5 xx xx xx xx

After the change, the dialing arrangements for calls to Brno were as follows:

Within Czech Republic: 5xx xxx xxx Outside Czech Republic: +420 5xx xxx xxx

In the case of mobile numbers, which had to be dialed in full, the only change was that the 0 was no longer used:

Within Czech Republic: 602 xxx xxx Outside Czech Republic: +420 602 xxx xxx

Famous quotes containing the words telephone, numbers, czech and/or republic:

    “It’s a hard feeling when everyone’s in a hurry to talk to somebody else, but not to talk to you. Sometimes you get a feeling of need to talk to somebody. Somebody who wants to listen to you other than “Why didn’t you get me the right number?””
    —Heather Lamb, U.S. telephone operator. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
    —Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)

    “I’m neither Czech nor Slovak ... I’m still trying to figure out who I am. I think I’m Jewish. But first I want to be human.”
    —Natasha Dudinska (b. c. 1967)

    “Who is this Renaissance? Where did he come from? Who gave him permission to cram the Republic with his execrable daubs?”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
