SIP Trunk Sweden — +46 Termination & DID Numbers

Swedish businesses dropped fixed lines early, so many Swedish numbers are now mobiles in the 07x range and a large share of answered calls land on smartphones. Stockholm's 08 remains the most requested geographic code for company switchboards.

Overview

Routing calls to Sweden

Traffic to Sweden leaves our SBCs on more than one upstream carrier per prefix. If a leg toward Stockholm or Gothenburg starts returning 503s or long post-dial delay, the next attempt goes to another carrier automatically. Calls to Malmö, Uppsala and Västerås follow the same failover logic.

PTS sets the Sweden numbering plan, and our prefix tables follow it closely. Supported number types: geographic, national, mobile and toll-free. Inside the country, numbers are dialled with a 0 trunk prefix. Strip it before you send the call, and send 46 followed by the national number.

Outbound termination to Sweden starts as soon as your balance is topped up. Local DIDs are different: PTS rules usually require address and identity documents, which our team collects and checks before activation.

What you get

What you get in Sweden

One account and one balance, with the same SBCs for termination and inbound numbers.

CLI route tier
Caller ID delivered end to end on +46 calls. Use it for sales, support and any traffic where answer rates matter.
Non-CLI route tier
A lower-cost tier where caller ID delivery is not guaranteed. Suitable for internal or transactional traffic that does not depend on the CLI.
Number types
Geographic, National, Mobile, Toll-free. DID availability varies by range and city.
Codecs
G.711a/u and G.729 on every route, G.722 and Opus where the far end supports them. T.38 for fax.
Channels on demand
Concurrent call limits are set per account and raised as your traffic grows. No fixed channel bundles.
Multi-carrier failover
Every +46 prefix is mapped to more than one carrier. Failed attempts move to the next one automatically.
