The View from Liverpool
Liverpool built its identity as a port, and port cities develop their own relationship with distance — you know someone is always somewhere else. The city has one of England's oldest settled Chinese communities, dating back to the nineteenth century, and one of the oldest West African communities, both consequences of the shipping trade. International calling here is less about recent immigration waves and more about long, deep corridors that have been running for generations.
The mainstream carrier landscape in Liverpool is the same as the rest of England. EE tends to have strong coverage here, and the standard international add-on products apply: usually a monthly bolt-on covering a fixed list of destinations, with separate rates for countries outside that list. China sits in most carriers' included-or-cheap tier these days, which suits the Chinese community. West African destinations — Nigeria, Ghana — are pricier and less consistently covered. Liverpool also has a growing student population at the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores, which brings a fresh wave of callers to Asia and Africa who compare per-minute rates rather than buying monthly add-ons.
Liverpool's International Communities
Liverpool's Chinese community in and around the Chinatown district near Nelson Street is one of the oldest in Europe, with roots in the 19th-century shipping trade. Though smaller than Manchester or London's Chinese communities in raw numbers, it is among the most historically rooted in Britain, and calling to Guangdong and Hong Kong has been part of local life here for longer than almost anywhere else in the country. A West African community — predominantly Nigerian and Ghanaian — traces its own origins to the same seafaring era. More recently, Somali families, Welsh-speaking migrants from rural Wales (who keep cultural ties rather than international ones), and students from China, Nigeria, and Malaysia add contemporary calling traffic to a city with an already cosmopolitan baseline.

Telecommunications in Croatia
Croatia has a well-developed telecommunications infrastructure supported by several key mobile network operators. The major carriers include Hrvatski Telekom (HT), A1 Hrvatska, and Tele2, each offering extensive services across the country. As of 2023, Croatia boasts substantial 4G coverage, with over 90% of the population having access. The rollout of 5G networks has also begun, primarily in urban areas, enhancing internet speeds and connectivity.
Landline services remain prevalent, particularly in rural regions, where mobile phone coverage may be spotty. However, the trend is shifting toward mobile usage, with most Croatians owning a smartphone and relying on it for daily communication. According to the Croatian Regulatory Authority for Network Industries (HAKOM), mobile phone penetration is above 120%, indicating that many individuals own multiple devices. This shift underscores the increasing preference for mobile communication over traditional landlines in both urban and rural settings.
Dialing Croatia from Abroad
To make a call to Croatia from abroad, follow these simple steps. First, dial your country's international access code (also known as the exit code). For example, in the United States, this is 011. Next, input Croatia's country code, which is +385. After that, dial the area code without the initial zero, followed by the local phone number.
Croatia's area codes vary depending on the region, with major cities such as Zagreb (1), Split (21), and Rijeka (51) having distinct codes. When calling mobile numbers, the format remains similar, but you should be aware that mobile numbers in Croatia typically begin with the prefixes 9 or 95. Importantly, there are no special prefixes required for dialing mobile vs. landline numbers, aside from the area code. For example, a call to a Zagreb landline would look like this: 011 + 385 + 1 + local number, while a call to a Split mobile would be: 011 + 385 + 9 + local number.
Best Times to Call Croatia from Liverpool
Croatia operates on Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1, and Central European Summer Time (CEST), UTC+2 during daylight saving time from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. When calling, it is important to consider typical daily schedules. Most Croatians start their workday around 8 AM and finish by 5 PM, making these hours ideal for business calls.
However, it’s wise to avoid calling too early in the morning or late in the evening. Lunch breaks typically occur between noon and 1 PM, during which many people might be unavailable. Weekends are generally more relaxed, with many Croatians spending time with family or engaging in leisure activities, so it's best to schedule personal calls during weekdays. Additionally, be mindful of national holidays, such as Statehood Day (June 25) and Christmas Day (December 25), when many businesses will be closed.
Calling Etiquette in Croatia
When communicating over the phone in Croatia, etiquette varies between formal and informal settings. Croatians typically answer calls with a friendly "Halo?" or "Dobar dan" (Good day) for more formal situations. In personal contexts, informal greetings like "Hej" or "Bok" (Hi) are common among friends and family.
Cold calling is not widely accepted in Croatia, particularly in business contexts. It is generally preferred to establish contact through email or mutual acquaintances before making a phone call. For business communications, maintaining a respectful tone is essential, especially when addressing someone with a professional title. Personal calls, on the other hand, may be more relaxed, allowing for casual conversation. Understanding the context—be it personal or professional—helps in navigating communication effectively and shows respect for cultural norms.
Mobile vs Landline Numbers in Croatia
Croatian mobile numbers are easy to spot: they begin with 9 (or 91, 92, 95, 97, 98, 99) after the +385 country code. The three main operators — Hrvatski Telekom, A1, and Tele2 — all use 9x prefixes for their mobile ranges. Geographic landlines, by contrast, carry area codes: Zagreb is 1, Split is 21, Rijeka is 51, Osijek is 31, and coastal towns have their own distinct codes. A number starting with 385-1 is a Zagreb landline; 385-91 is a mobile wherever the person happens to be. Landlines in Croatian homes and offices are still actively used, and office direct-dial numbers are worth having for business contacts in Zagreb's corporate district. Calling rates to fixed lines are generally lower than to mobiles, which adds up on longer calls.
Why Liverpool Callers Switch to VoIP
For a community as historically rooted as Liverpool's Chinese families, the technology for calling home has changed more times than the need to do it. Calling cards through Chinatown shops were a fixture for decades. Carrier add-ons now price calls to China reasonably on most of the major networks. The remaining gaps fall on West Africa: Nigeria and Ghana call rates through standard UK add-ons tend to run higher, and mobile numbers on those networks can cost more than landlines on already-expensive plans. Data-based calling levels that gap. It also suits the university student population, which tends to buy SIMs without international add-ons and then call home from Wi-Fi on campus or in rented houses — a pattern where per-minute data rates beat monthly bolt-ons for anyone calling fewer than a few hours a month.
Saving on Regular Calls to Croatia
Croatia follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and shifts to CEST (UTC+2) in summer, aligning with the EU's standard daylight saving schedule — clocks change on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October. From the US East Coast, the gap is six or seven hours depending on the season; from the UK, one or two hours. Business hours cluster tightly from 8 AM to 4 PM, with many workers finishing earlier than their Western European counterparts. That narrow window means morning calls from North America fall overnight local time. For regular business callers, midday your time lands well in Croatia's afternoon. The tourist season runs June through September, when coastal contacts — Dalmatia especially — may be harder to reach during peak summer weeks. August is the quietest month for Zagreb's corporate life.
