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.

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 werd toegewezen Norway door de ITU onder het E.164-plan. De “+” betekent “bel uw lokale internationale exitcode”; op een mobiel: houd ingedrukt 0 om het te typen.
Ze betekenen alle vier hetzelfde: ze verbinden uw oproep 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.
Vaste lijn
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.
Mobiel
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.
Telenor
largest mobile operator, widest rural coverage (mobiles in 4x/9x ranges)
Telia Norway
second-largest national network (mobiles in 4x/9x ranges)
Ice
third national network operator (mobiles in 4x/9x ranges)
Norway time zone
Norway uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1), switching to CEST (UTC+2) from late March to late October.
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.

Bijna elke mislukte internationale oproep is een formatteringsprobleem, geen netwerkprobleem.
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

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

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.
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.

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.

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

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