📍 Geographic Location of Årjäng
Overview of Area Code 573
Area code 573 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Swedish national numbering plan, assigned to the municipality of Årjäng in Värmland County, western Sweden. It covers the town of Årjäng and its surrounding rural localities, including areas near the Norwegian border, such as Töcksfors and Lennartsfors. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and calls to this region are routed via the public switched telephone network.
Dialing Formats
When calling a subscriber within Sweden, the national trunk prefix 0 is used, followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. For example, a local number might be formatted as 0573-XXXXX (where X represents the 5- to 7-digit subscriber number). Internationally, callers must use Sweden's country code +46, drop the leading zero, and dial +46 573 XXXXX. For instance, a complete international number could appear as +46573XXXXX.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
Årjäng is a small municipality with a population of around 10,000, known for its border trade and scenic landscapes. The area code 573 is administered by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), which oversees the national numbering plan. Subscriber numbers within this code typically have a length of 5 to 7 digits, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 8 to 10 digits (including the leading '0' for national dialing).
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest PTS data, there is no overlay code for 573, meaning that local calls within the area can be made using the 7-digit subscriber number without the area code, provided both parties are within the same charging group. However, for calls from other Swedish regions or from abroad, the full national or international format is required. It is important to note that number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, but the geographic significance remains tied to the original assignment.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Årjäng, dialing the 7-digit subscriber number is sufficient. For callers from other parts of Sweden, dial 0573 followed by the subscriber number. For international callers, dial +46 573 followed by the subscriber number, omitting the leading zero. Always verify the correct number length, as some older numbers may have fewer digits.
