Norway’s country code is +47. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in Norway should dial Norway’s telephone country code (+47) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Norway are eight digits long – aa bbb bbb, with aa being the area code followed by the local phone number. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Norway using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Norway.

Step 2. Dial 47, Norway’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter Norway’s area code.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the national phone number you wish to call in Norway.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 47 aa bbb bbb (or +47 aa bbb bbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 47 aa bbb bbb

Norway’s area code is incorporated in eight digit phone number. Here are some Norway’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside Norway, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Norway’s country code 47. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Oslo, this would be an example of a phone number: +47 2bbb bbbb or 0047 2bbb bbb, and 011 47 2bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Norway’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the two largest local mobile phone companies -Telenor and Telia.

The mobile phone codes in Norway are one or two digit long: 4, 9, 58 or 59. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then Norway’s country code “47”, plus the 8 digit phone number including mobile code.
