Dialing Formats
For callers within Sweden, the local format requires the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number: 0345-XXXXX. Subscriber numbers in this area typically consist of five to six digits, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 8 to 9 digits. When dialing from abroad, the international format is +46 345 XXXXX (or 0046 345 XXXXX from countries using the international prefix 00). The leading zero of the area code is always dropped in international dialing.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Sweden): Dial the full national number, e.g., 0345-12345. Even if you are physically inside the Hyltebruk area, you must include the area code, as Swedish numbering does not use local dialing without the trunk prefix.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by Sweden's country code 46, then the area code 345 without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. Example: 00 46 345 12345.
Numbering and Overlay Considerations
Sweden's numbering plan is regulated by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS). Geographic area codes like 0345 are assigned to fixed-line services, but number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators or moving within the same geographic area. There are no overlay codes currently active in this region; the 0345 code serves exclusively the Hyltebruk–Torup area. However, due to the decreasing use of fixed lines, some numbers may be used for VoIP services, but the geographic association remains for routing and emergency services.
For businesses and residents, it is essential to display numbers in international format (+46 345 XXXXX) on websites and global directories to ensure accessibility for international clients. When calling from a mobile phone, the same dialing rules apply; no special prefixes are needed.
