How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Svalbard and Jan Mayen

Svalbard and Jan Mayen are Norwegian territories and use Norway’s country calling code +47. Norway has no trunk prefix (no leading 0 to add/remove), so you generally dial the number exactly as written, and from abroad you dial +47 followed by the full national number. In Svalbard specifically, many landline-style numbers are in the 79 range and are commonly formatted as +47 79 XX XX XX (8 digits after +47).

For mobile numbers, the practical difference is the starting digits rather than a separate “mobile area code.” Norwegian mobile numbers are typically 8 digits and often start with 4 or 9, so internationally you’ll usually see them as +47 4XX XX XXX or +47 9XX XX XXX. On Jan Mayen, communications are limited and the island is connected by satellite; it still uses Norwegian telephone numbers (+47) rather than a dedicated local country code, so you should dial any Jan Mayen contact exactly as provided in +47 format. Mobile operators available in Svalbard and Jan Mayen are Telenor (Norway / Svalbard services), Telia (Norway), and ice (Norway).
