Phone

According to Abbreviationfinder.org, the country code is 00381. There are still a few public red phone boxes in Serbia. They can be used almost exclusively with telephone cards. Telephone cards (halo cards) for public telephones (halo govornice) are available in post offices, shops and kiosks. Emergency calls are free at Halo booths.

Mobile phone

GSM 900/1800, 2G, 3G and 4G. Mobile operators include Telekom Srbjia and Telenor. There are international roaming agreements with German, Austrian and Swiss providers. The network coverage is very good almost nationwide. It may be worth purchasing a Serbian SIM card or prepaid cards from local providers. Tip: The free app “Belgrade Talking” serves as an informative audio guide in English for the sights of Belgrade.

Internet

Providers include Telenor and Telekom Srbjia, among others. In Serbia there are over 112.00 public and free WiFi hotspots. Internet cafes can be found in the big cities. Mobile surfing on the Internet is also made possible, among other things, by the chargeable Wi-Fi hotspots from Goodspeed.
