Mobile phones<br />
Mobile phone use in Dubrovnik is typical to most everywhere<br />
in Europe: they appear to be permanent growths<br />
that have attached themselves to ears or cheeks.<br />
Unique however, are the numerous and exciting tonal<br />
renditions of show-tunes and 80s glam-rock that shatter<br />
the most tranquil of moments. It seems that churches<br />
and cinemas remain the only structures holy enough to<br />
warrant the tragic silent-mode designation in this central<br />
European location. The networks that exist are VIP (091),<br />
T-Mobile (098) and Tele 2 (095) and their SIM cards can<br />
be bought all over the place. Buy pay-as-you-go cards in<br />
news kiosks, or top up at a cash machine. SIM Cards<br />
Purchase a Croatian SIM card from one of the following.<br />
They all have numerous selling points throughout the city<br />
if the below addresses aren’t convenient for you.<br />

Making the call<br />
You’ve memorised the misleadingly simple code breakdown,<br />
and are ready to take the plunge (let’s hope you<br />
decided not to drop that tricky calculus course). Local<br />
Calls: Here’s the trick: dial the subscriber’s six- or sevendigit<br />
number, and place the receiver to your ear. National<br />
Calls: Dial the Croatian city code (020 if you’re calling<br />
Dubrovnik for instance) followed by the subscriber’s<br />
number. Calling Abroad: Dial 00 (the international<br />
access code), the appropriate country code, a city or<br />
area code if applicable and the subscriber’s number.<br />
Calling Croatia from Abroad: Dial your international<br />
access code, 385 (Croatia’s country code), the city<br />
code (dropping the initial 0) and the subscriber’s number.<br />
Calling a Mobile: Mobile numbers are 10-digits and<br />
begin with either 091 or 098. Dial the subscriber’s<br />
number and wait for a human voice.<br />

The advent of well priced tickets for domestic<br />
flights means that most people in Dubrovnik get around<br />
the country by plane. There are a limited number of tickets<br />
selling for rock bottom prices - a single to Zagreb can cost<br />
as little as 200kn, but you must reserve your ticket well in<br />
advance - or strike it lucky - to get these. <strong>In</strong>ternational flights<br />
are also becoming more affordable with the arrival of budget<br />
airlines such as Sky Europe, Germanwings and Norwegian Air<br />
Shuttle. See the airline websites for reservations. Getting<br />
there: Catch a bus from the main coach station, tickets cost<br />
getting around<br />
35kn one way, or call a taxi (200kn). Check with your airline<br />
for the bus timetable. If you take your car there’s a long stay<br />
car park (30kn per day).<br />
