Norway Phone Number Format

Country code +47 — Complete guide to Norway phone number formats, mobile and landline structures, and area codes.

Number Format Overview

Phone numbers in Norway use the international country code +47. When dialing from outside Norway, you must include this country code before the local number.

Dialing Tips

Remove the leading zero: When dialing internationally, drop the trunk prefix (usually 0) that is used for domestic calls in Norway.
Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +47 instead of 011 47.
Verify the number length: Make sure you have the correct number of digits. If your call does not connect, check whether you need to add or remove an area code digit.
Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +47 prefix so they work from any country.
