Montenegro Postal Codes and Dialling Codes 2026: 81000 Podgorica, 85310 Budva, Country Code +382, Area Codes for Every Town and Mobile Number Porting

Montenegro's international dialling code is +382, and every municipality has a five-digit postal code: Podgorica 81000, Nikšić 81400, Budva 85310, Kotor 85330, Bar 85000, Herceg Novi 85340. Landlines use a two-digit area code with a zero in front (020 for Podgorica, 033 for Budva, 032 for Kotor and Tivat), and mobile numbers start with 06. From abroad you dial +382, the area code without the zero and the subscriber number. When you switch mobile operator you keep your number free of charge, and the transfer takes no more than two working days.

This guide lists the postal and area codes of every municipality, explains how to dial at home and from abroad and how number porting works.

What are the postal and area codes by municipality?

• In Podgorica the delivery post office has the code 81000, while the counters around the city have their own codes from 81101 to 81127; on mail for the city you normally write 81000.
• Coastal places have their own post offices: Bečići 85316, Sveti Stefan 85315, Sutomore 85355, Igalo 85347, Bijela 85343, Risan 85337 and Perast 85336.
• On an envelope the postal code goes before the place name, for example "Slobode 1, 81000 Podgorica", which is how the Montenegrin Post writes its own address.
• The Montenegrin Post publishes the address, postal code and opening hours of each of its 165 branches.

How do you dial a number in Montenegro and from abroad?

• An international number consists of the country code 382 and the national number, and from abroad you first dial 00 or +.
• A landline national number has eight digits: a two-digit area code and a six-digit subscriber number.
• The zero before the area code is not part of the national number, so from abroad you dial +382 20 and the six subscriber digits for Podgorica.
• When you call a landline in the same area you dial only the six subscriber digits; from another area or from a mobile phone you also dial the area code, for example 020.
• Mobile numbers have a two-digit access code starting with 6 and a six-digit subscriber number, and virtual mobile operators use codes that start with 65.
• From Montenegro to another country you dial 00 or +, the other country's code and the number under that country's numbering plan.

How do you keep your mobile number when you switch operator?

• Switching operator and porting your number cost the customer nothing.
• You apply to the new operator with an identity document, the last bill of your current operator and proof that you paid it; the same request also ends your old contract.
• A mobile number is ported within two working days at the latest, and you can also ask for an exact date no earlier than two working days and no later than 30 days after the request.
• On the day of the transfer you cannot use the services between 13:00 and 16:00.
• You can port the same number again only 60 days after the previous transfer.
• Because of porting, the first digits no longer reliably show the operator; you can check which network a number belongs to on the website of the Agency for Electronic Communications.
