Dialing Sweden in Four Easy Steps
Getting through to Sweden takes only a moment. Just keep one habit in mind, which is to leave off the leading zero.
Exit Code
Begin with your local exit code.
011 from USA/Canada.
00 from UK/Europe.
(On mobile or VoIP, a simple + does the same job)
Sweden Code (+46)
Enter +46, the code that hands your call over to Sweden's phone network.
Area Code & Number
Add the city code followed by the local number.
Remember: leave off that leading zero!
The "Drop the Zero" Rule
Inside Sweden, every area code is written with a leading '0' (Stockholm shows as 08, for instance). Calling in from another country, though, means you leave that zero off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the country code for Sweden?
Sweden's country calling code is +46. Enter it once you have keyed your own exit code (011 in the US, 00 in Europe), and place it just ahead of the area code.
Do I drop the zero when calling Sweden?
Yes, and it trips up a lot of callers. Area codes inside Sweden open with a 0 (Stockholm is 08), yet from abroad that zero comes off, giving you +46 8 and so on.
How do I call a Swedish mobile phone?
Most Swedish mobiles begin with 07, such as 070, 073, or 076. Dialing internationally, drop the zero and use +46 7 followed by the remaining digits.
Can I call Sweden for free?
Truly free options tend to bring weak audio or harvest your data. Intercalling instead gives new users a free trial to hear the line quality to Sweden, then keeps per minute rates down to just pennies after that.
