The history behind Croatian phone numbers

• The history of Croatia's phone numbering system can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th century when telephone services were first introduced in the country. It has evolved over the years, with changes influenced by political events, technological advancements, and the growth of the telecommunications industry.
• Early years:
• The first telephone exchanges in Croatia were established in the late 19th century, with the first public exchange opening in Zagreb in 1901. The phone numbering system at that time was rudimentary and based on local exchanges.
• Yugoslavia:
• Croatia was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and later the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1945-1991). During this period, the phone numbering system was part of a larger, federal numbering system. Long-distance calls within the country and international calls required dialing specific area codes and prefixes.
• Independence:
• Croatia declared its independence in 1991, leading to the establishment of its own telecommunications regulator and the development of a new national phone numbering system. The country code "+385" was assigned to Croatia, replacing the previous Yugoslav country code "+38".
• Modernization:
• In the years following independence, Croatia's telecommunications infrastructure underwent significant modernization and expansion. The phone numbering system was updated to accommodate the growth of fixed-line and mobile services.
• Introduction of mobile services:
• As mobile services grew in popularity, Croatia introduced mobile phone numbers. Initially, they were assigned separate area codes and prefixes but later transitioned to a more uniform numbering system. Mobile phone numbers generally start with the digit "9", followed by an additional eight digits.
• Number portability:
• In the late 2000s, Croatia introduced number portability, which allowed users to switch service providers without changing their phone numbers. This further led to changes in the phone numbering system and the allocation of new number ranges to accommodate the growing demand for telephone services.
