Enter your call length, or a number to see its exact rate:

A 30-minute call at Verizon's $1.79 per minute costs $53.70. On 002call it is about $0.60.

Numbers that start with 80 or 90

80 numbers are free inside Hungary and often can't be reached from abroad. Look for a regular +36 number on the organisation's website.

When to call

Hungary has one time zone, Central European Time. The cards below show your time and the time in Budapest.

Clocks go back on 25 October 2026 and forward on 28 March 2027, on the same dates as the rest of the EU, so the time difference can shift by an hour for a few weeks if your country changes on other dates.

Call quality

A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).

• Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
• Use headphones to avoid echo.
• Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
• Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
