Country Dialing Guide

Norway country code +47 — call Norway & get a number.

Stop looking for a Norwegian area code — there isn't one. Norway scrapped them in 1992 for a flat, 8-digit number you dial the same way from next door or the far side of the planet. Here's how it works from the US, UK and EU, what the leading digit tells you, the live clock, and your own +47 number through MCM.

02The basics

What is the country code for Norway?

Norway's country code is +47, and what follows is refreshingly simple. There are no area codes and no trunk 0 to add or strip — Norway runs a flat, closed 8-digit plan, so the same eight digits work whether you're calling a neighbour in Oslo or dialing in from Sydney. The only thing that ever changes is your own exit code before the +47.

Code +47 was assigned to Norway by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.

+470047011 4700 47

All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Norway.

How to call Norway from anywhere

Exit code, then 47, then all eight digits — and you're done. Nothing to drop, nothing to insert, because Norway has neither a trunk prefix nor an area code.

Norway phone number format explained

Eight digits, full stop — and since there's no area code, the very first digit does the work of telling you what kind of line you've got. Fixed lines open with 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7; mobiles open with 4 or 9. That single leading digit is your only clue to the number type.

Telepon rumah

8 digits starting with 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7 (e.g., 21 23 45 67 for an Oslo-region fixed line). International: +47 21 23 45 67. No area code, ever.

Seluler

8 digits starting with 4 or 9 (e.g., 412 34 567). International: +47 412 34 567. A Norwegian mobile always begins with 4 or 9.

Norway mobile network prefixes

The prefix after +47 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

T

Telenor

largest mobile operator, widest rural coverage (mobiles in 4x/9x ranges)

TN

Telia Norway

second-largest national network (mobiles in 4x/9x ranges)

I

Ice

third national network operator (mobiles in 4x/9x ranges)

07Time zone

Norway time zone

Norway uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1), switching to CEST (UTC+2) from late March to late October.

Jendela panggilan terbaik

Norwegians keep to a tight workday and often finish early, so reach them sooner rather than later. From the US East Coast, 14:00–17:00 CET (your 08:00–11:00 ET) lands you inside Oslo office hours. From the UK you overlap almost all day — just allow for Norway's one-hour CET lead.

Common mistakes when calling Norway

Hampir setiap panggilan internasional yang gagal disebabkan oleh masalah format, bukan masalah jaringan.

Hunting for an area code: Norway simply doesn't have one. If you're trying to figure out the code for Oslo or Bergen, stop

there is none. Dial the eight digits exactly as given.

Tacking on a trunk 0: there's no trunk prefix either, so nothing gets added at the front

Expecting a different length: every Norwegian number is exactly 8 digits

no more, no fewer.

Reading 4 or 9 as a carrier: full portability means the leading digit tells you mobile-vs-fixed, never which network

10Menghemat uang

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Norway

Carry Norwegian calls over VoIP or a virtual +47 line instead of paying carrier international rates.

Favour fixed lines (those starting 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7)

they usually terminate cheaper than 4x/9x mobiles.

Steer clear of 8xx numbers; they're special-rate services that bill at a premium.

Keep calls inside Oslo's CET workday so a missed call doesn't come back as a costlier return.

11Untuk bisnis

Why businesses get a Norway virtual number

Norwegians are quick to ignore unknown foreign numbers, and because their own numbers carry no city code, a clean 8-digit +47 line simply reads as "one of us." That national, place-neutral format works in your favour everywhere from Oslo to Tromsø.

Tingkat jawaban yang lebih tinggi

Higher answer rates — a +47 ID gets picked up where a foreign number is dismissed.

Gesekan kepercayaan yang lebih rendah

Lower trust friction — a standard 8-digit Norwegian number reads as wholly local.

Masuk lebih murah

Cheaper inbound — calls terminate over IP rather than international PSTN.

Perutean terpusat

Centralized routing — since no number is tied to a city, send every Norwegian call to one team anywhere.

Ekspansi lebih cepat

Faster expansion — enter the Norwegian market without local infrastructure.

Kehadiran PSTN nyata

Real PSTN presence — genuine Norwegian fixed or mobile numbers.

FAQ

Norway +47 — FAQ

What is the area code for Oslo (or Bergen, Trondheim)?expand_more

There isn't one — Norway abolished area codes in 1992, so no Norwegian city has a code. You dial the same 8 digits everywhere.

How do I call Norway from the United States?expand_more

Dial 011, then 47, then the full 8-digit number — nothing to add or remove.

Why are there no area codes in Norway?expand_more

Norway moved to a flat, closed 8-digit numbering plan in 1992, where the leading digit signals the line type instead of a location.

Is there a trunk 0 to drop when calling Norway?expand_more

No — Norway has no trunk prefix, so there's never a leading 0 to strip.

How long is a Norwegian phone number?expand_more

Exactly 8 digits, with no exceptions.

How do I tell a Norwegian mobile from a landline?expand_more

Mobiles begin with 4 or 9; fixed lines begin with 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.

What are 8xx numbers in Norway?expand_more

Special-rate, toll-free or shared-cost services — not personal mobiles, so treat them differently.

Does the first digit tell me the carrier?expand_more

No — portability means it only indicates mobile-vs-fixed, never whether it's Telenor, Telia or Ice.

Which currency and time zone does Norway use?expand_more

The Norwegian krone (NOK, kr), and CET in winter shifting to CEST in summer.

Can my business get a Norwegian number without an office there?expand_more

Yes — MCM provisions +47 DIDs remotely, and with no area codes you simply pick a fixed-style or mobile-style number.
