Telephone numbers in Serbia are administered by Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Postal Services (RATEL), an independent regulatory authority.[1] Thetelephone country code ofSerbia is 381. The country has an opentelephone numbering plan, with most numbers consisting of a two- or three-digit area codes and six to seven digits for the subscriber number.
Thetelephone country code of Serbia is 381.Serbia and Montenegro received this country code following the breakup of theSocialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992, which used country code 38.Montenegro switched to382 after its independence in 2006.[2]
An example for calling telephones in Belgrade, Serbia is as follows:
For domestic calls (within the country), 0 must be dialled before the area code.
For calls from Serbia, the prefix for international calls was 99, but was changed to 00 on 1 April 2008, in accordance to the recommendations of theInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU), and matching the majority of European countries.[3] (e.g. for aUnited States number 00 1 ... should be dialled).
Area codes in Serbia have been largely unchanged since the time ofSocialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. AsSocialist Republic of Serbia had been assigned codes starting with 1, 2 and 3, they were simply carried over by Serbia after the breakup.

Until 2013,Telekom Srbija had a monopoly on fixed telephony services. When the new regulation came in force, competition became allowed in this field as well, and other operators entered the market, using alternative communication infrastructure:
There are three activemobile operators in Serbia (without Kosovo):
and threevirtual mobile operators:
The calling codes are assigned to the operators using the following scheme:
| Code | Usage |
|---|---|
| 60, 61, 68 | A1 |
| 62, 63, 69 | Yettel Serbia |
| 64, 65, 66 | mts |
| 677 | Globaltel (MVNO) |
| 678 | Vectone Mobile (MVNO) |
Calling codes in the table are assigned to new customers by the respective provider. However, since 2011 customers can change the operator and retain the old calling code (along with the rest of the phone number). Thus, calling codes do not necessarily reflect the operator. It is not possible, however, to transfer a mobile number to a land-based operator and vice versa.
The following special telephone numbers are valid across the country:
