📍 Geographic Location of Tibro
Geographic Overview
The Swedish area code 504 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the locality of Tibro, a town and municipality in Västra Götaland County, western Sweden. Tibro is situated approximately 25 kilometers southeast of Skövde and is part of the historical province of Västergötland. The code serves the entire Tibro Municipality, including the central town and surrounding rural areas.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Tibro landline from within Sweden, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code, followed by the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 504 XX XX XX, where the subscriber number typically consists of six digits. For example, a local number might be 0504-12 34 56.
From outside Sweden, callers must use the international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), followed by Sweden's country code 46, then the area code without the leading zero, and finally the subscriber number. Thus, the international format becomes +46 504 XX XX XX. For instance, +46 504 12 34 56.
Local and International Caller Instructions
Local callers within Tibro can often dial the six-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on their telephone exchange. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format. Callers from other parts of Sweden must always include the trunk prefix and area code. International callers should note that the leading zero is omitted after the +46 country code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for Tibro; the 504 code is exclusively used for this geographic area. The subscriber numbers are allocated by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) to local fixed-line operators and service providers. Number portability allows subscribers to retain their 504 numbers when switching providers, but the number remains tied to the geographic area.
Usage and Services
The 504 code is primarily used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. Businesses and residents in Tibro rely on this code for their landline communications. While mobile numbers in Sweden use non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 70, 72, 73), the 504 code is strictly for fixed-line services. Calls to 504 numbers are typically charged at standard national rates, depending on the caller's tariff.
