Reading a +46 number

•Mobile if the digits after +46 start with 70, 72–73, 76 or 78–79 (+46 70 XXX XX XX).
•Landlines start with an area code, for example +46 8 XX XX XX for Stockholm.
•Premium rate if it starts with 99 after +46: never call these back.
•Local time: 11:17 AM in Stockholm right now.

•Don't call back a number you don't recognize. One-ring scams hang up after a ring or two so you return the call, which can add a per-minute charge on top of an international rate.
•Caller ID can be faked. The code shown is not proof of where the caller really is.
•Real callers leave a message. If it matters, they'll text, email or leave a voicemail. Otherwise, block the number.
