🇭🇺 Fax to Hungary: Leave Out the 06 and Type 8 Digits
Choose Hungary in the country list, and +36 is added for you. Then type the Hungarian number without the 06 that is written in front of it, so a Budapest number written 06 1 234 5678 is entered as 12345678. A fax of up to 3 pages costs $4.99, and each extra page is $0.99.

The 06 at the Start and How to Enter the Number
Hungarian numbers work a little differently. Inside Hungary, people dial 06 before the area code, not just a single 0. The International Telecommunication Union lists 06 as Hungary's national prefix, and it is never dialed from abroad. So you remove both digits, the 0 and the 6, and then type the rest.
Hungary's numbering plan, updated with the ITU in 2026, gives landline numbers a length of 8 digits after +36. Budapest has the one-digit code 1, and other cities have two-digit codes. Here are examples using codes from that plan:
| City | Written in Hungary | Typed in our box |
|---|---|---|
| Budapest | 06 1 234 5678 | 12345678 |
| Debrecen | 06 52 123 456 | 52123456 |
| Szeged | 06 62 123 456 | 62123456 |
| Győr | 06 96 123 456 | 96123456 |
A Hungarian landline fax number should therefore be exactly 8 digits in our box. If you count 10 digits, the 06 is probably still there. Mobile numbers start with 20, 30, 31, 50 or 70 and have 9 digits, and a mobile phone normally cannot receive a fax.
What it costs
The price for Hungary is $4.99, and it covers any fax of 1, 2 or 3 pages. Every additional page costs $0.99, and you see the exact total before you pay.
As a worked example, 5 pages cost $6.97, which is $4.99 plus two extra pages at $0.99 each. If you send 10 pages, the total is $11.92.
You do not need an account, and nothing renews by itself after the fax is sent.
How to send it
Add a PDF, a Word file or a photo of each page. You can add up to 10 files, up to 100MB in total, and they are sent as one fax.
Select Hungary in the country list. The code +36 then appears next to the number box.
Type the number without the 06 in front. A Budapest landline becomes 8 digits starting with 1.
The price is $4.99 for up to 3 pages and $0.99 for each extra page. The total is shown before you pay.
Delivery usually takes a few minutes; some international routes can take up to about 30 minutes. If the fax fails, you are refunded automatically.
Who sends faxes to Hungary? People in the United States fax Hungary for many ordinary reasons, for example to reach an embassy or consulate, a university office, a bank, or a business partner who asked for a signed page by fax.
Cover page
Before you send, it is worth adding one simple page at the front. Please include the recipient's name and department in Hungary, your own name and how to reach you, the total number of pages, and any case, invoice or reference number. Our service does not add a cover page or print anything on your document, so this page is the only introduction the recipient will see.
When the fax does not go through
If a fax to Hungary does not go through, please first check that the number was typed as shown above. A busy line or a machine that is turned off can also stop a fax, so it is best to send during office hours. Hungary is usually six hours ahead of US Eastern Time, so a fax sent at 9 in the morning in New York arrives at about 3 in the afternoon in Budapest.
A failed fax is refunded automatically, so trying again does not cost you twice. When it is delivered, the confirmation email shows the destination number, the page count and the time it was sent in US Eastern Time.
Receiving a reply
Some offices in Hungary prefer to reply by fax. For that, GetAFax.com gives you a private US fax number that works for 24 hours, costs $5, accepts up to 30 pages, and delivers each incoming fax to your email as a PDF.
