Swedish phone numbers

The country code for Sweden is +46. If you see +46 in front of a phone number, it is a Swedish phone number. If you want to call Sweden yourself, dial country code +46 before the phone number.

Local Swedish numbers

With a local Swedish number, you bind your brand to a specific city or region. For example, it is possible to take a phone number in the area code of Stockholm, Malmö or Gothenburg. This immediately creates trust and you address a clear market. This option is perfect for companies that open one branch in a particular city in Sweden.

010 numbers: National Swedish numbers

Numbers with the 010 area code are not tied to a specific city or region.

These Swedish numbers have a national image and can be called at a local rate. Many companies that are active throughout Sweden opt for a Swedish 010 phone number.

020 numbers: Free Swedish numbers for callers

The numbers with the 020 prefix are numbers that are free for callers.

With this type of toll-free number, you attract a maximum number of callers, which is ideal if you, for example, want to build a list of contacts or customers or want to project a very customer-friendly image.

077 numbers: national Swedish numbers

The Swedish 010 numbers are almost running out and that is why there are now also the 077 numbers.

These are again national numbers, not tied to a city or region and can be called at a local rate. For many companies, this is the perfect Swedish number.
