Sweden Country Code

Sweden’s phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

Sweden’s Country Code is +46

Sweden’s country code is +46. 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 Sweden should dial Sweden’s telephone country code (+46) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Sweden are ten digits long – aa bbb bbbb, with aa being the area code followed by the 5 to 8 digit local phone number. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Sweden 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 Sweden.

Step 2. Dial 46, Sweden’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter Sweden’s area code. Don’t use the digit “0” when calling from outside of the country.

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

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 46 aa bbb bbbb (or +46 aa bbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 46 aa bbb bbbb

Sweden’s area codes are one to three digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the digit “0” when calling overseas. Here are some Sweden’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside Sweden, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Sweden’s country code 46. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Stockholm, this would be an example of a phone number: +46 8 bbbb bbbb or 0046 8 bbbb bbbb, and 011 8 bbbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Sweden’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the four largest local mobile phone companies -Telia, Telenor, Tele2, and Tre .

The mobile phone numbers in Sweden start with “7“. 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 Sweden’s country code “46”, plus the nine phone number including the mobile code “7“.

For example, enter 011 46 7a bbb bbbb or +46 7a bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.
