International Telephone networks
International calls can be dialled with the international prefix 00 or with the operator-specific international access code.
A user can choose the carrier for international calls. A user can also conclude an agreement with an operator on the preselection of 00, which means that calls dialled with 00 will be routed directly to the preselected carrier's network.

To call, for example, 567 234 in Stockholm, first dial any of the international access codes, then the country code 46 for Sweden and the area code 8 for Stockholm:
