How many digits does a Swedish phone number have?
Mobile and landline lengths according to the Swedish numbering plan.
Short answer
A Swedish mobile number has 9 digits after the country code +46, or 10 digits including the leading 0 when you dial inside Sweden, for example 070-123 45 67. Other numbers vary, and the numbering plan allows 7 to 13 digits excluding the country code.
Why
- According to the PTS numbering plan, the mobile ranges 70, 72, 73, 76 and 79 have a fixed length of 9 digits excluding the country code.
- PTS states that the minimum number length excluding the country code is 7 digits and the maximum is 13 digits.
- Telia shows a Swedish mobile number as 07X-XXX XX XX on its registration page, which is 10 digits including the zero.
Details
Most area codes with their numbers also reach at most 9 digits after the country code, according to the PTS plan, while numbers for mobile broadband and machine-to-machine services in the 71 series have 13. Emergency calls use the short number 112, see the emergency number in Sweden, and operators are listed under telecom and internet providers in Stockholm.
Tip
Count the digits after removing the leading 0: a normal Swedish mobile number then has 9. If a form asks for a number with country code, enter +46 and those 9 digits.
What may differ
Landline numbers differ more: the length depends on the area code, and PTS lists most area codes with a maximum of 9 digits and a few with 12 or 13.
Common misconception
All Swedish phone numbers have the same length.
What actually happens
PTS says the length excluding the country code runs from 7 to 13 digits, and only the mobile ranges 70, 72, 73, 76 and 79 are fixed at 9.
