Technical info on Switzerland phone numbers

  • Switzerland phone numbers follow the Swiss telephone numbering plan, which is regulated by the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM). The country code for Switzerland is +41, which is followed by a series of digits representing the area code and the local phone number.
  • Country code: +41
  • Area codes:
  • Switzerland's area codes are assigned to geographical regions and are generally 2 to 3 digits long, excluding the initial zero. When calling within Switzerland, you need to dial the initial zero followed by the area code. However, when calling from abroad, omit the initial zero.
  • Some examples of Swiss area codes are as follows:
  • Zurich: 044 or 043
  • Geneva: 022
  • Bern: 031
  • Basel: 061
  • Lausanne: 021
  • Local phone numbers:
  • Swiss local phone numbers are typically 7 digits long, but may vary between 5 to 7 digits depending on the region. Local numbers are dialed following the area code.
  • A Swiss phone number may look like this:
  • Format within Switzerland: (0AA) BBB BB BB
  • Format from abroad: +41 AA BBB BB BB
  • Where "AA" represents the area code without the initial zero, and "BBB BB BB" is the local phone number.
  • Note that mobile phone numbers in Switzerland also follow a similar pattern, but they have specific area codes (e.g., 076, 077, 078, or 079). Mobile numbers are also 9 digits long, including the initial zero.
  • For special services and non-geographical numbers, Switzerland has different numbering ranges like the 0800, 084x, and 090x codes, which are used for freephone, shared cost, and premium rate numbers, respectively.
