This region is part of the larger Luleå municipality and lies along the Lule River, approximately 60 kilometers northwest of the city of Luleå.

Dialing Formats

- National callers from other parts of Sweden must dial 0928 followed by the subscriber number, e.g., 0928-12345.
- International callers should use the format +46 928 12345, omitting the leading zero.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations

The number length is fixed at nine digits for national dialing (including the leading zero), and ten digits for international dialing (including the country code). This structure is consistent with the E.164 standard. Subscriber numbers within 0928 are allocated to local fixed-line operators, and number portability is available, allowing users to retain their numbers when switching providers, although the geographic association remains tied to the Harads exchange.
