Making <strong>the</strong> call<br />
You’ve memorised <strong>the</strong> misleadingly simple code breakdown,<br />
and are ready to take <strong>the</strong> plunge (let’s hope you<br />
decided not to drop that tricky calculus course). Local<br />
Calls: Here’s <strong>the</strong> trick: dial <strong>the</strong> subscriber’s six- or sevendigit<br />
number, and place <strong>the</strong> receiver to your ear. National<br />
Calls: Dial <strong>the</strong> Croatian city code (020 if you’re calling<br />
Dubrovnik for instance) followed by <strong>the</strong> subscriber’s<br />
number. Calling Abroad: Dial 00 (<strong>the</strong> international access<br />
code), <strong>the</strong> appropriate country code, a city or area<br />
code if applicable and <strong>the</strong> subscriber’s number. Calling<br />
Croatia from Abroad: Dial your international access<br />
code, 385 (Croatia’s country code), <strong>the</strong> city code (dropping<br />
<strong>the</strong> initial 0) and <strong>the</strong> subscriber’s number. Calling a<br />
Mobile: Mobile numbers are 9 or 10-digits and begin with<br />
ei<strong>the</strong>r 091, 092, 095, 098 or 099. Dial <strong>the</strong> subscriber’s<br />
number and wait for a human voice. For an international<br />
call to a Croatian mobile, dail your international acess<br />
code, 385 (country code), drop <strong>the</strong> 0, and <strong>the</strong>n dial <strong>the</strong><br />
remaining digits.<br />
Mobile phones<br />
Mobile phone use in Dubrovnik is typical to most<br />
everywhere in Europe: <strong>the</strong>y appear to be permanent<br />
growths that have attached <strong>the</strong>mselves to ears or<br />
cheeks. Unique however, are <strong>the</strong> numerous and exciting<br />
tonal renditions <strong>of</strong> show-tunes and 80s glam-rock<br />
that shatter <strong>the</strong> most tranquil <strong>of</strong> moments. It seems<br />
that churches and cinemas remain <strong>the</strong> only structures<br />
holy enough to warrant <strong>the</strong> tragic silent-mode designation<br />
in this central European location. The networks<br />
that exist are VIP (091), T-Mobile (098) and Tele 2<br />
(095) and <strong>the</strong>ir SIM cards can be bought all over <strong>the</strong><br />
place. Buy pay-as-you-go cards in news kiosks, or top<br />
up at a cash machine.<br />
