Bosnia & Herzegovina uses an open numbering plan under country code +387. After the country code comes a 2-digit area or mobile prefix. Then comes a 7-digit subscriber number. Together that is a 9-digit national number. Domestic numbers often start with a trunk "0". Leave it out when you call Bosnia & Herzegovina from abroad.
Carriers & language
Bosnia & Herzegovina has 75% internet penetration. It has 3 major mobile networks: BH Telecom, m:tel, HT Eronet. VoIP is permitted and regulated by RAK (Communications Regulatory Agency). The local currency is BAM. The main language is Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian. Both shape IVR prompts, SMS content and business hours.
Europe context
Most European numbering plans follow ITU-T E.164. They use a national trunk prefix that is dropped for international dialing. Cross-border VoIP is widely supported across the region.
Skipping the exit code
Reaching Bosnia & Herzegovina from the US requires the 011 exit code ahead of +387 — skip it and the call won't connect.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
That leading 0 on a Bosnia & Herzegovina number is for domestic calls only; leave it out when dialing in after +387.
Ignoring the time difference
Bosnia & Herzegovina runs on UTC+1. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.
