📍 Geographic Location of Ramsele
Geographic Overview
The Swedish area code 0623 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the locality of Ramsele, situated in the Sollefteå Municipality within Västernorrland County. This region lies in the historical province of Ångermanland, in central Sweden. The code covers Ramsele and its immediate surroundings, including smaller villages and rural areas that rely on the Ramsele exchange for fixed-line telephony services.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Ramsele number from within Sweden, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber's five-digit local number. The complete national format is 0 623-XX XXX (where X represents digits). For example, a local number might be 0623-123 45.
For international callers, the Swedish country code +46 replaces the leading zero. Thus, the international format becomes +46 623-XX XXX, with the area code written without the initial zero. For instance, to call a Ramsele number from abroad, one would dial +46 623 123 45.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Ramsele can often dial just the five-digit subscriber number for calls within the same exchange, depending on the operator's local dialing rules. However, for calls from other parts of Sweden, the full national format 0623-XX XXX is required. Foreign callers must use the international prefix of their country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America) followed by 46 623 and the local number.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
Area code 0623 is part of the Swedish numbering plan administered by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS). It is a geographic code, meaning that the tariff for calls to this number is typically based on the distance from the caller's location, although with modern flat-rate plans, this distinction is often irrelevant. As with all Swedish geographic codes, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching fixed-line operators, but the number remains associated with the Ramsele area. No overlay codes are currently planned for this region, so the five-digit subscriber numbering remains standard.
