Calling to and within Slovakia
If you would like to call from abroad, it´s necessary to know the country code, which is for Slovakia +421 (or 00421). When calling a mobile phone number, the first three digits belong to the mobile operator. When calling a landline, following digits are the area code - e.g. for Bratislava it is 2 (or 02 if calling from within Slovakia).
When considering calling to Slovakia, bear in mind the possible time differences and schedule your calls in order to avoid unwelcome disturbing in the middle of the night.

Some of them offer additional services under their own brand or in partnership with another company (e.g. FunFón, Tesco Mobile, Juro, Radost´).
