📍 Geographic Location of Akershus
Geographic Overview
The Norwegian telephone numbering plan, governed by the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom), allocates the geographic area code 67 to the Akershus region. This area, historically known as Akershus county, surrounds the capital Oslo and includes major municipalities such as Bærum, Asker, Lillestrøm, and Lørenskog. The code serves both residential and business subscribers within this densely populated region.
Dialing Formats
When calling a number in the Akershus region from within Norway, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, a local call to a fixed line in Bærum would be dialed as 067 12 34 56. However, from outside Norway, the international format is used: +47 67 12 34 56 (or 0047 67 12 34 56 from countries using the international prefix 00). Note that the leading zero is omitted in the international format.
Number Structure and Overlays
Norwegian geographic numbers consist of the area code (2 digits for 67) followed by an 8-digit subscriber number, making a total of 10 digits when including the leading trunk prefix. Unlike some countries, Norway has not implemented overlay codes; each geographic area retains a unique area code. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when moving between operators, but the geographic code remains tied to the original location.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Norway): Dial the 8-digit subscriber number directly if calling within the same area code, or dial 0 + 67 + the 8-digit number when calling from other Norwegian regions.
- International callers: Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile), then 47 (Norway's country code), followed by 67 and the 8-digit subscriber number. Example: +47 67 12 34 56.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
Geographic numbers in Norway are primarily assigned to fixed-line services, but they can also be used for VoIP services that are tied to a physical location. The code 67 is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in Norway begin with 4, 9, or 58. As of 2024, Akershus is part of the larger Oslo metropolitan area, and the code 67 covers a significant portion of the region's administrative and commercial activity.
