Geographic Allocation and Numbering
This prefix is a geographic number, meaning it is tied to a specific physical location and is used for fixed-line PSTN services. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) administers the national numbering plan, and this prefix is allocated to local exchange areas. Subscriber numbers within this prefix are typically assigned to residential and business landlines. It is important to note that number portability allows users to retain their numbers when changing operators, but the geographic association remains with the original exchange area.
Calling Instructions
- Local callers: When dialing from another Swedish landline or mobile, simply dial 0915 followed by the 6-digit subscriber number. No additional area code is needed if calling from within the same numbering area, but it is safe to always include the area code.
- International callers: Dial the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile), then the Swedish country code 46, then the area code 915 without the leading zero, and finally the subscriber number. Example: +46 915 123 456.
Overlay and Numbering Changes
As of the latest PTS updates, there are no overlay codes or planned changes for the 915 area. The numbering plan remains stable, and the prefix is exclusively used for geographic fixed-line services. However, with the migration towards IP-based telephony, some subscribers may use VoIP services, but the number retains its geographic significance for emergency services and caller identification.
