Montenegro numbering plan & how to dial
Montenegro's numbering plan is open, sitting under country code +382: a 2-digit prefix followed by a 7-digit local number, 9 digits combined. Numbers are often shown with a leading "0" for domestic use — drop it when dialing in from abroad.
Mobile coverage in Montenegro comes from 3 major networks — Crnogorski Telekom, ONE (Telenor), m:tel CG — with internet penetration at 79%. VoIP is permitted and regulated by EKIP (Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Services). Language (Montenegrin) and currency (EUR) both matter here for IVR, SMS, and scheduling support around local business hours.
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
Montenegro calls from the US need 011 first, then +382 — the exit code isn't optional.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Montenegro number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +382 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
Before dialing Montenegro, check the local clock — it runs on UTC+1, and off-hours calls tend to go unanswered.

FAQ
Calling Montenegro — frequently asked questions
Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro. A local +382 number is recognisable to callers there and nationwide, which is part of why presenting local caller ID tends to improve answer rates across the whole country, not just the capital.
Montenegro's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is ME, distinct from its dialing code (+382). The ISO code is used in things like domain names and shipping forms, while the dialing code is what actually routes a phone call.
The subscriber portion of a Montenegro number is 7 digits, after the country code and area/mobile prefix. That's the part that identifies the specific line once the call has been routed to the right network.
Yes — calls to Montenegro are billed per second, not rounded up to the minute, starting at $0.026/min. Per-second billing means a 45-second call costs less than a full minute, unlike carriers that round every call up.
The major networks in Montenegro are Crnogorski Telekom, ONE (Telenor), m:tel CG. Twiching interconnects with Tier-1 carriers for direct delivery to these networks, rather than routing through cheaper wholesale transit that can degrade call quality.
Montenegro is in Europe. 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.
