📍 Geographic Location of Hoting
Geographic Overview
The Swedish area code 671 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the locality of Hoting, situated in the northern part of Sweden within Jämtland County. Hoting is a small town in Strömsund Municipality, known for its proximity to the Hoting Lake and as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness. The code serves the town and its immediate rural surroundings, including nearby villages and recreational areas.
Dialing Formats
For callers within Sweden, the national trunk prefix 0 must be dialed before the area code. Thus, a local call to a Hoting landline number is placed as 0671-XXXXX, where the subscriber number typically consists of five digits. For international callers, the Swedish country code +46 replaces the leading zero, so the number is dialed as +46 671 XXXXX (or +46671XXXXX when written without spaces). It is important to note that the area code is an integral part of the full national significant number, which totals eight digits (excluding the trunk prefix).
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Hoting may sometimes omit the area code if their telephone service provider supports local dialing, but it is safer to always include the full national number to avoid misrouting. Callers from other Swedish regions must dial 0671 followed by the five-digit subscriber number. International callers should dial their international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile phones), then 46, then 671, and finally the five-digit number. For example, a call from the United States would be placed as 011 46 671 XXXXX.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
As a geographic code, 671 is administered by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) and is allocated for fixed-line services. Subscriber numbers under this code are typically assigned to traditional PSTN lines, but they may also be used by VoIP providers that offer fixed-line equivalents. Number portability allows subscribers to retain their Hoting number when switching providers, but the geographic association remains tied to the original location. There are currently no overlay codes in Hoting, so the 671 area code is unique for this region.
When dialing from abroad, be aware that some countries require a different international prefix, but the core format remains consistent. Always verify the exact subscriber number length, as some older lines may have fewer digits, though the standard is five. For any discrepancies, consult your telephone service provider.
