This code covers the urban area of Ånge and the surrounding rural districts, including the localities of Torpshammar, Fränsta, and Ljungaverk.

From abroad, callers must use the international prefix (typically + or 00), followed by Sweden's country code 46, and then the area code without the leading zero. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +46 690 12345.
