// The Basics
What is the +46 country code?
Sweden's international dialing code is assigned by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used for every call placed from outside the country.
Numbering format
Swedish numbers drop the leading 0 internationally — a Stockholm number written domestically as 08 123 456 becomes +46 8 123 456.
Calling culture
Swedish business culture values consensus and calm, understated communication — decisions are often discussed thoroughly rather than made unilaterally on a single call.
Did you know
Stockholm's single-digit 08 area code reflects its status as one of the earliest and largest telephone exchanges established in the country.
