What is the Phone Number Format in Sweden?

Most phone numbers in Sweden are written in the following formats:

   Prefix: long distance or international
   --------------------------------------
   |   Carrier or area code 
   |   --------------------
   |   |   Subscriber number
   |   |   -----------------
   v   v   v

   0   AA  SSS SS SS    - Local format
  +46  A   SSS SS SS    - International format
  +46  AA  SSS SS SS    - International format

Most telephone numbers in Sweden have 8, 9 digits and are written in the format of "A SSS SS SS", "AA SSS SS SS". Here are some examples: 10 109 00 00; 77 152 05 20; 8 797 4000; 8 720 0022.

When dialing locally inside Sweden, the long distance prefix of "0" is required. So the format becomes "0 A SSS SS SS", "0 AA SSS SS SS".

When dialing from outside of Sweden, the international dial-in prefix "+46" is required. So the format becomes "+46 A SSS SS SS", "+46 AA SSS SS SS".

When dialing from Sweden to other countries, the international dail-out prefix "+" or "00" required.
