📍 Geographic Location of Stugun
Overview of Area Code 695 (Stugun, Sweden)
Area code +46 695 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the locality of Stugun, a small town situated in the Ragunda Municipality within the county of Jämtland, in the central-northern part of Sweden. This code is part of the Swedish national numbering plan administered by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) under the ITU-T E.164 international standard. The region is characterized by its proximity to the Indalsälven river and its scenic landscapes, though the code serves a sparsely populated area.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The +46 695 prefix covers Stugun and its immediate surroundings, including smaller villages and rural areas within the Ragunda Municipality. It is a classic example of a small-town geographic code, where the number range is limited due to the low population density. The administrative center of the municipality is Hammarstrand, which is served by a different area code (+46 696), so callers should be mindful of the distinction when dialing within the region.
Dialing Formats and Usage
When calling a subscriber in Stugun from within Sweden, the national trunk prefix 0 is used, followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. The local numbers in this area typically consist of 5 to 7 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 8 to 9 digits (including the leading 0). For example, a local number might appear as 0695-XXXXX when written in the national format.
From abroad, callers must use the international prefix (e.g., 00 or +) followed by the Swedish country code 46, then the area code without the leading zero, and finally the subscriber number. For instance, if the local number is 12345, the international format would be +46 695 12345. It is important to note that the area code is an integral part of the number and cannot be omitted when dialing from outside the local area.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest PTS updates, there is no overlay plan for this area code, meaning that the 0695 prefix is exclusively used for Stugun and its vicinity. Number portability is available in Sweden, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, but this does not affect the geographic association of the code. The code is primarily used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services, though some mobile operators may assign numbers from this range for specific business lines, but such use is non-geographic in practice.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Stugun, it is possible to dial the subscriber number directly without the area code if the call is made within the same local calling area. However, for all other calls within Sweden, the full national format (0-695-XXXXX) is required. International callers should always use the +46 695 format to ensure proper routing. It is advisable to check with your service provider for any specific dialing requirements, especially when using VoIP or mobile services.
