Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The Swedish area code 295 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Örbyhus–Dannemora region, located in the northern part of Uppsala County (Uppsala län) in the historical province of Uppland. This numbering area encompasses the urban settlements of Örbyhus and Dannemora, along with surrounding rural localities within the Tierp and Östhammar municipalities.

Dialing Formats and Number Structure
Within Sweden, calls to the 295 area code require the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. The complete national dialing format is:
- 0 295 XX XX XX (when calling from a Swedish landline or mobile)
From abroad, callers must use the international prefix (typically 00 or +), followed by Sweden's country code 46, then the area code without the leading trunk prefix, and the subscriber number:
- +46 295 XX XX XX
Local numbers within the 295 area typically consist of 6 digits after the area code, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 9 digits (excluding the trunk prefix).
Caller Instructions
For local callers (within the 295 area): If you are dialing another subscriber within the same area code, you may be able to use the local number without the area code, depending on your telephone service provider. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format (0 295 ...).
For national callers (from other Swedish area codes): Dial 0 295 followed by the local subscriber number. Do not omit the leading 0.
For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 46, then 295, and finally the local subscriber number. Do not include the leading 0.
Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan for Sweden, there are no overlay codes for the 295 area. The area code is geographically specific and not subject to number portability between geographic areas, although fixed-line number portability within the same geographic area is possible. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) manages the allocation of these codes.
Practical Examples
- Calling a subscriber in Örbyhus from Stockholm: 0 295 12 34 56

- Calling from the United States: 011 46 295 12 34 56
This area code is part of Sweden's closed numbering plan, meaning that all national numbers must be dialed in full, including the trunk prefix, even for local calls.
