How to write a Norway number in E.164
- Remove spaces, dashes, dots and brackets so only digits are left.
- Norway has no trunk prefix, so keep every digit of the national number.
- Put +47 in front. The result has 8 digits after the country code for a mobile.
So 40 61 23 45 becomes +4740612345. E.164 is the format SMS gateways, dialers and most CRMs store; see the E.164 format explained for why.
Mobile or landline?
Norway allocates separate number ranges to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type straight from the digits, for free. That type describes the range the number came from. It doesn’t prove the number is connected today.

Common questions
- What is the country code for Norway?
- The country calling code for Norway is +47. It is shared with 1 other country or territory, so the number after it decides which one a number belongs to. When you call Norway from abroad, dial your international prefix (or +) followed by 47 and the number.

- How do I write a Norway number in international format?

- Can you tell if a Norway number is a mobile?
- Usually, yes. Norway numbers come from ranges allocated separately to mobiles and landlines, so a numbering-plan check reads the line type from the digits. It tells you what the range is for, not whether the number is in service.
