Need to call Sweden and not sure how to do it? It's easy when you know the country code and follow these steps before you call someone in Sweden:

1. First of all, check what time it is in Sweden right now so you don't call Sweden when it's the middle of the night there.
2. Start the international call from the US by dialing 011. From within Europe and Asia, dial 00. From Australia, dial 0011.
3. Now dial 46 (46 is the country code for Sweden).

1. Proceed to dial the Swedish 1 to 3 digit area code. If the phone number's area code starts with a 0, leave the 0 out. (E.g. If a phone number for Stockholm starts with 08, which is this city's area code, you would not dial the 0.)
2. Now dial the 5 to 8 digit local telephone number. Wait for the call to connect and talk.

Tips:

1. When using a phone card to call Sweden, follow the card's instructions. Not all prepaid phone cards allow you to place calls to other countries, however. The same is valid for cell phones - check with your carrier if you experience any issues.
2. When placing an international call to Sweden, always omit the leading 0 of the area code if there is one.
3. When calling Sweden, most locals will be able to talk to you in English. To put in a little extra effort, take a look at some basic Swedish phrases to use as greetings.
4. To call from Sweden, dial 00 for an international call and then the country code (e.g. 1 for the US, 33 for France, 61 for Australia, etc.) before the actual number.
