Regulatory and Technical Notes
Sweden's numbering plan is administered by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS). Geographic area codes are assigned based on the subscriber's physical location, and numbers are not portable outside the geographic area. However, with the advent of VoIP and fixed-wireless services, some subscribers may be served by alternative technologies, but the geographic association remains for routing purposes. Overlays are not currently applied to this area code, so the 5-digit subscriber number length is standard. For emergency services, callers should dial 112, which is routed based on the caller's location.
