What is the Country Code for Switzerland?
The country code (also known as the international dialing code) for Switzerland is +41 or 0041. If you see this code before a phone number, you know it’s a Swiss phone number. If you want to call Switzerland from another country, you must always use this country code first.
Note: To make international calls, you must first dial the international access code, which varies by country. In most European countries, such as the Netherlands, Latvia, or Portugal, this is 00. So, to call Switzerland, first dial the international access code (e.g., 00), followed by the country code 41, and then the local phone number. For countries like the United States, the international access code is 011.
What Do Swiss Mobile Numbers Look Like?
Swiss mobile phone numbers consist of ten digits in total, including the area code. They always start with a 7, followed by two additional digits that indicate the mobile provider, such as 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, or 79. This is followed by seven more digits, forming the complete mobile number. For example, a full Swiss mobile number might look like this: +41 7X XXXXXXX.
