Need to call Norway and not sure how to do it? It's easy when you follow these steps before you call someone in Norway.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Just a few moments.
Here's How:
  1. First of all, check what time it is in Norway right now so you don't call Norway during nighttime 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 47 (country code for Norway).
  4. Proceed to dial the Norwegian phone number. It should be 8 digits long.
  5. Wait for the call to connect. When calling Norway, you can talk in English as most Norwegians speak it well. You can use basic Norwegian phrases to greet your contact on the other end.

    If you need to place more calls, you should find out how to make calls to other Scandinavian countries as well.

Tips:
  1. When using a rental mobile phone or European phone cards to call Norway, follow the instructions that came with it.
  2. To call from Norway, dial 00 for an international call and then the country code (e.g. 1 for the US, 33 for France, 61 for Australia, etc.)
  3. To save money, call in the evening (of your local time) or on weekends when long distance rates are lower.
What You Need:
  • An 8-digit Norwegian phone number.
  • A phone with international long distance service enabled.
