From the United States, dial **011** to place an international call, then **387** for Bosnia and Herzegovina, then the area code (drop any leading 0), followed by the local number. With Telvio you dial the same format — no prefix change needed.

## Exit codes by source country

The exit code depends on where YOU are calling from. On mobile phones and VoIP apps, use + instead.

| Calling from | Exit code | You dial |
| --- | --- | --- |
| United States / Canada | 011 | 011 387 ... |
| United Kingdom | 00 | 00 387 ... |
| Australia | 0011 | 0011 387 ... |
| Most of Europe | 00 | 00 387 ... |
| Japan | 010 | 010 387 ... |
| From a mobile / VoIP app | + | +387 ... |

## Bosnia and Herzegovina phone number format

Country code +387

Trunk prefix 0 (drop when dialing from abroad)

Example +387 33 123 456

## Common mistakes

- ✕ Keeping the leading 0 when dialing from abroad. Drop it — it is only for domestic calls within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- ✕ Using the wrong exit code. Each country has its own (US: 011, UK: 00). On mobile, just use +.
- ✕ Forgetting the country code +387. Without it, the call will fail or route locally.

## Country codes that get mistaken for +387

A wrong country code does not fail cleanly. It connects — to a stranger in another country — and it bills. These are the codes a caller most plausibly dials instead of +387 when calling Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The reliable habit is to store Bosnia and Herzegovina numbers with the plus sign and the full code — +387 — rather than typing them each time. A number saved in full international form dials correctly from any country you happen to be in, and removes the whole class of mistake above.

## Calling out of Bosnia and Herzegovina

To dial an international number from inside Bosnia and Herzegovina, start with the exit code 00, then the destination country code, then the number without its own trunk prefix. The exit code belongs to the country you are calling FROM, not the one you are calling.

On a mobile, press and hold the 0 key until a plus sign appears and dial the number in full international form instead. The plus tells the network to work out the exit code itself, so the same saved number dials correctly whether you are at home or abroad — no need to remember 00 at all.
