Buy a Norwegian Virtual Phone Number

You are a business owner or manager looking for a Norwegian phone number.

Whether you are expanding into Norway for the first time or need a dedicated support line for existing customers, you are in the right place. Below we explain which number types are available, what the regulations require, and how we set everything up for you — typically within one business day.

A Norwegian phone number gives your business a dedicated local presence in one of Europe’s wealthiest and most digitally advanced economies. It makes it easier for Norwegian customers to reach you at domestic rates and signals commitment to the Norwegian market.

We provide authentic Norwegian (+47) phone numbers that forward directly to your existing landline or mobile. No Norwegian office, no new hardware, no complicated setup.

Your business appears local to every caller, whether they are in Oslo, Bergen, or Stavanger.

Norway has a population of 5.5 million and is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with a GDP per capita among the highest globally. The economy is driven by oil and gas, shipping, seafood, renewable energy, and a rapidly growing technology sector. Oslo has become a significant European hub for startups, fintech, and green technology.

Norway is not an EU member but participates in the European single market through the EEA (European Economic Area) agreement, giving businesses access to a market with full European trade integration but its own regulatory framework. The country uses the Norwegian krone (NOK) and maintains one of the highest standards of living in the world.

International trade with Norway is substantial, particularly in energy, maritime services, technology, and professional services. Norway is a major energy exporter and has close ties with international partners in shipping, offshore engineering, and the North Sea sector.

For businesses, Norway offers exceptional purchasing power, a highly digital consumer base, and a business culture that values transparency, quality, and long-term relationships.

Norway is part of the Nordic region alongside Sweden, Denmark, and Finland — a cluster of wealthy, digitally advanced economies with a combined population of 27 million. Many businesses that enter one Nordic market quickly expand to the others, and a Norwegian number is often the gateway to this high-value region.

CallFactory lets you manage Norwegian and other European numbers from a single account, with consistent features and a unified platform. Your existing call routing and IVR configurations transfer directly.

Norway operates on Central European Time (CET, UTC+1), just one hour ahead of GMT — close enough that your team can handle Norwegian calls during business hours with minimal scheduling adjustments.

Not sure which type to choose? Here is a quick guide.

800 numbers are toll-free for the caller, making them ideal for customer service and support lines. They signal that you take customer communication seriously and remove any cost barrier for Norwegian callers. They require a verifiable Norwegian address.

Local numbers carry a city-associated prefix like 22 (Oslo), 55 (Bergen), 38 (Kristiansand), or 33 (Tønsberg/Larvik). Although geographic numbering was formally abolished in 2020, these prefixes are still strongly associated with their cities by Norwegian consumers and create instant regional trust. They require a verifiable Norwegian address.

All Norwegian number types require a verifiable Norwegian address.

All Norwegian phone numbers are 8 digits with no trunk prefix. Norway adopted a closed numbering plan in 1993, so the full 8-digit number is always dialled — there is no leading 0 to drop.

The country code is +47. For an Oslo-associated number, both the domestic and international format are straightforward: 22 XX XX XX domestically or +47 22 XX XX XX internationally. For Bergen: 55 XX XX XX or +47 55 XX XX XX.

For toll-free numbers, use 800 XX XXX domestically or +47 800 XX XXX internationally.

This simple 8-digit system with no trunk prefix means there is no confusion about how to format or dial your Norwegian number.

When a customer in Norway dials your Norwegian number, the call is routed through our network and forwarded to wherever you choose: your landline, a mobile, a VoIP system, or a team of agents through a phone menu.

The caller hears a local Norwegian ringtone and, if you like, a professional welcome message in Norwegian generated by our text-to-speech engine. There is no noticeable delay or quality loss — the call sounds like any other domestic Norwegian call.

On your end, you answer the call as normal, with a short beep or announcement letting you know it came in on your Norwegian line so you can greet the caller appropriately.

You can also set up time-based routing so calls during Norwegian business hours go to your team, while calls outside those hours go to voicemail or an alternative destination. Norway is one hour ahead of GMT (CET), making scheduling straightforward.

We are a specialist virtual number provider established in the Netherlands in 2000 with Dutch management.

We are not a reseller — we run our own IVR platform and phone network, which means superior audio quality, full control over features, and no middlemen. Start simple with basic call forwarding, and scale up when you are ready. Need a fully custom-built IVR flow, dedicated servers, or private API access? We can build that too.

We are registered as a telecom provider in 14 EU countries, so as your business grows across Europe you stay with one provider instead of juggling multiple vendors.

Norwegian telephone numbers are regulated by Nkom (Nasjonal kommunikasjonsmyndighet — the Norwegian Communications Authority).

All Norwegian number types — 800 toll-free and local numbers — require a verifiable Norwegian address. Norwegian numbering resources cannot be provided for permanent use outside Norway under Nkom regulations.
