Country Code 386 – Slovenia

LAST UPDATE: February 12th, 2020

Calling to Slovenia

  • Do not include a leading ‘0’ in the international call sequence – it is only used in Slovenia for domestic long distance calls and domestic calls to a mobile phone.
  • A leading '+' in the phone number means 'dial your country's exit code'.
  • Calling from a mobile phone: dial from on the country where you're currently located.
  • Calling from a VoIP or satellite phone: dial from on the country where the phone is registered.

Slovenia’s country code may be mislabeled:

  • Country code 00386 (exit code of ’00’ used in many European, Asian, and African nations followed by Slovenia’s country code of ‘386’).
  • Country code 011386 (exit code of ‘011’ used in the United States and Canada followed by Slovenia’s country code of ‘386’).

When calling to a mislabeled country code, remove the exit code from the call sequence and replace it with the exit code of the country the call is dialed from.

When calling a mobile phone user, dial to the country where the mobile phone is registered, regardless of where the person is roaming.
