What is the Norway country code?
Everything you need to dial a Norway number correctly from a UK phone.
+47
The Norway country code is +47. Dialling from the UK? Use 0047 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Norway number from the UK
Norway has no area codes — dial 0047 + the full 8-digit number directly. Mobile numbers typically start with 4 or 9.
Example: 0047 + 8-digit number.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +47 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 0047 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Norway country code?
The Norway country code is +47. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 0047 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Norway from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Norway has no area codes — dial 0047 + the full 8-digit number directly. Mobile numbers typically start with 4 or 9.
Is there a free way to call Norway that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
