Want to know how to easily connect with Finland, or are you curious about requesting a Finnish phone number? This article covers everything about calling Finland: from the required country code and area codes by region to useful Finnish emergency numbers.

We’ll also explain how Dutch citizens can request a Finnish phone number, perfect if you have strong ties to a specific region in Finland or if your business wants national reach.

Additionally, we’ll show how Belfabriek can help you request phone numbers in various countries, enabling your business to grow internationally!

What is the Phone Number for Finland?

The country code for Finland is 00358. When calling Finland from abroad, you can also use +358 as the international access code. This country code is necessary to reach a phone number in Finland, just as you would use country codes for other countries like New Zealand, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

What Do Finnish Mobile Numbers Look Like?

In Finland, mobile numbers typically start with 04 or 05. For example, if you want to call a Finnish mobile number from another country, such as the Netherlands or Germany, format the number as follows: +358 50 123 45 67 (example). The 0 before the - in this case - 05 is omitted. Always remember to enter the plus sign (or 00) and the country code (358) when calling Finland.

Can Dutch Citizens Get a Finnish Number?

Yes, they can! Through Belfabriek, you can easily request three different types of Finnish phone numbers, depending on your needs. Below is a brief overview.

Local Numbers

Just like regional area codes in the Netherlands, such as 010 for Rotterdam and 020 for Amsterdam, Finland also has region-specific area codes. For example, the area code for Helsinki is 09. If your business has strong ties to the Helsinki region, you can easily request a 09 number. Belfabriek offers the possibility to register various local numbers, ensuring your business remains recognizable to callers from that region.

National Numbers

If you want national reach for your business or services, a 075 number is ideal. This number is comparable to the 085 and 088 numbers we know in the Netherlands. It offers national reach without regional dependency and can be called at local rates without additional costs. This makes it more accessible for customers and strengthens your business’s national image.

0800 Numbers

Just like in the Netherlands, Finland also has toll-free numbers or 0800 numbers. These numbers are free for the caller, as the owner of the number covers all call costs. These numbers are ideal for organizations such as charities or businesses operating in highly competitive markets. Note that Finnish 0800 numbers are only reachable within Finland and not from other countries like Denmark, Belgium, or the Netherlands.
