📍 Geographic Location of Åsele
Geographic Overview
The +46 941 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Åsele region in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden. This area code covers the municipality of Åsele and its surrounding localities, including the central town of Åsele and smaller communities such as Fredrika and Dorotea (the latter partially). The region is characterized by its vast forests, rivers, and low population density, with the municipal seat serving as the primary administrative and commercial hub.
Dialing Formats
For local callers within Sweden, the area code is dialed with a leading zero: 0941. The subscriber number length varies between 5 and 7 digits, resulting in a total national significant number length of 8 to 10 digits (including the leading zero). For example, a local number might be dialed as 0941 123 45 or 0941 123 456 7.
For international callers, the leading zero is omitted, and the country code +46 is used. The international format becomes +46 941 123 45 or +46 941 123 456 7. When dialing from abroad, replace the '+' with your country's international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America).
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Sweden): Dial the full national number, including the trunk prefix '0'. Example: 0941 123 45.
- International callers: Dial your international access prefix, then Sweden's country code 46, then the area code without the leading zero, followed by the subscriber number. Example: +46 941 123 45.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The 941 code is administered by the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS). It is a geographic number, meaning it is tied to a physical location and is primarily used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services. As with all Swedish geographic codes, number portability is available, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, but the number remains associated with the original geographic area for routing purposes. There are no overlay codes currently planned for this region, so the 941 code remains the sole geographic code for the Åsele area.
