Reading a +36 number

•Mobile if the digits after +36 start with 20, 30–31, 50 or 70 (+36 20 XXX XXXX).
•Landlines start with an area code, for example +36 1 XXX XXXX for Budapest.
•Premium rate if it starts with 90–91 after +36: never call these back.
•Local time: 10:00 AM in Budapest right now.

•Don't call back a number you don't recognize. One-ring scams hang up after a ring or two so you return the call, which can add a per-minute charge on top of an international rate.
•Caller ID can be faked. The code shown is not proof of where the caller really is.
•Real callers leave a message. If it matters, they'll text, email or leave a voicemail. Otherwise, block the number.
