Which country uses the +46 calling code?

+46 is the country calling code for Sweden. It goes before the national telephone number when calling from abroad.

How do I call Sweden from abroad?

Use +46, then the complete national number in international format. The + stands for the international access prefix of the country you are calling from. Follow the leading-digit rule below before entering the rest of the number.

Omit the domestic trunk prefix 0 after +46. Keep the area or mobile prefix and every remaining digit. The national 0 is not part of the international number.

Swedish riktnummer consist of a domestic 0 followed by a one-, two- or three-digit destination code. Within an area, fixed-line dialling may use the subscriber number; include the area code when calling between areas. From abroad replace the initial 0 with +46. The 010 range is location-independent, whilst 020 is for freephone services.

Is +46 an area code or an ISO country code?

+46 is a telephone country calling code. An area code identifies a smaller numbering area, whilst ISO country codes are letter identifiers used in other systems. They are not interchangeable.

Does a +46 number prove where the caller is?

No. The country calling code describes the number's numbering plan, not the caller's live location or identity. People can travel, use internet calling or keep a number after moving. Caller ID can also be spoofed.
