How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Norway

Norway’s country calling code is +47, and most Norwegian phone numbers (both landlines and mobiles) are 8 digits. A key “gotcha” compared with many European countries: Norway has no national trunk prefix (no leading 0) for normal geographic/mobile numbers. So if you have a Norwegian number, you typically dial the full 8 digits inside Norway, and from abroad you dial +47 followed by the same 8 digits—nothing to drop. Norway’s international access code when calling out of Norway is 00 (though on smartphones you can always use +).

In everyday use, Norwegians still talk about “area codes,” but they’re really just leading digits that hint at geography for fixed lines (for example, Oslo numbers often start with 2, Bergen with 55, Trondheim with 73), while mobile numbers typically start with 4 or 9 (commonly written in the pattern 4XX XX XXX / 9XX XX XXX). The dialing pattern remains the same: for a Norwegian mobile or landline from abroad, dial +47 plus the full national number.

What are the emergency numbers in Norway

What are the city and area codes in Norway

Dialing tip: Norway is a closed plan for normal numbers—treat the “area code/prefix” above as just the first digits of the 8-digit number, not something you add/remove. International dialing is simply +47 + the full 8 digits.

City	Area Code	International Dialing Format
Oslo	2	+47 2X XX XX XX
Bergen	55	+47 55 XX XX XX
Trondheim	73	+47 73 XX XX XX
Stavanger / Sandnes	51	+47 51 XX XX XX
Kristiansand	38	+47 38 XX XX XX
Drammen	32	+47 32 XX XX XX
Fredrikstad / Sarpsborg	69	+47 69 XX XX XX
Tromsø	77	+47 77 XX XX XX
Bodø	75	+47 75 XX XX XX
Ålesund	70 / 71	+47 7X XX XX XX

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Norway

Dialing tip: Norway uses 8-digit mobile numbers in the 40–49 and 90–99 ranges, but number portability means a prefix is not a guaranteed way to identify the subscriber’s current network (people can switch operator and keep the same number).

Mobile Operator	Dialing Prefixes
Telenor	Commonly 90, 91, 94, 95, 97, 99 (8-digit mobiles)
Telia	Commonly 45, 46, 92, 93, 98 (8-digit mobiles)
ice (Lyse Tele)	Commonly 46, 48, 92, 94, 95, 97 (8-digit mobiles)
MVNOs (examples: Lycamobile, Chilimobil, Fjordkraft Mobil, etc.)	Typically within the same 4X / 9X mobile ranges; exact issued blocks vary
