Bosnia & Herzegovina numbering plan & how to dial
Bosnia & Herzegovina uses an open numbering plan under country code +387. After the country code, a 2-digit area or mobile prefix is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, giving a 9-digit national number. Domestic numbers are often written with a leading trunk "0" that is omitted when dialing Bosnia & Herzegovina from abroad.
Bosnia & Herzegovina has 75% internet penetration and is served by 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 and the primary language is Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Most European numbering plans follow ITU-T E.164 with a national trunk prefix that is dropped for international dialing, and 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.

FAQ
Calling Bosnia & Herzegovina — frequently asked questions
Bosnia & Herzegovina uses an open plan: a separate 2-digit area or mobile prefix followed by a 7-digit subscriber number. The prefix is what routes the call to the right region or network once it lands in the country.
3 major networks serve Bosnia & Herzegovina: BH Telecom, m:tel, HT Eronet. Twiching interconnects directly with these carriers over Tier-1 routes rather than relying on third-party transit.
Most European numbering plans follow ITU-T E.164 with a national trunk prefix that is dropped for international dialing, and cross-border VoIP is widely supported across the region. In Bosnia & Herzegovina specifically, that's overseen by RAK (Communications Regulatory Agency), which sets the compliance bar Twiching's routes are built to meet.
No — Bosnia & Herzegovina isn't part of the NANP. It has its own country code, +387, under the international E.164 numbering system, which is why calls from the US need the 011 exit code first.
A recognisable +387 number tends to get answered more often than an unfamiliar international one — that's the main reason to present local caller ID in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Unknown foreign numbers are frequently screened or ignored, which can quietly suppress answer rates on outbound sales and support calls.
Yes, where locally supported — a single Twiching Bosnia & Herzegovina number can handle both voice calls and SMS. That avoids the overhead of provisioning and managing two separate numbers for one customer-facing line.
