Writing a fax number for Sweden
Inside Sweden, numbers start with a 0. From abroad, replace that 0 with +46:
| Written as | Type in FaxBuddy |
|---|---|
| 08-123 456 78 (Stockholm) | +46 8 123 456 78 |
| 031-123 45 67 (Gothenburg) | +46 31 123 45 67 |
| 040-12 34 56 (Malmö) | +46 40 12 34 56 |
You don’t need 011 or 00: the + does that. Once you type +46, the flag beside the number shows Sweden. Or tap the flag, choose Sweden, and type the number as it’s written there.
Step by step
- Tap New Fax and add your pages: scan them, or pick a PDF or photos.
- Type the number starting with +46, like +46 8 123 456 78.
- Add a free cover page if the office expects one, with who it’s for and who it’s from.
- Tap Send, or Send Later to have it arrive in office hours there.
Numbers you can’t fax
- 0900, 0939 and 0944 premium-rate numbers: FaxBuddy refuses them before you send, because calls to them cost far more than a page.
- Mobile numbers (starting 07): FaxBuddy warns you, because mobiles almost never receive faxes. Look for the number marked “Fax”.
The time difference
Sweden is usually 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles. Fax machines answer around the clock, but a fax that lands at night waits on a pile. Schedule it with Send Later and FaxBuddy sends it from our servers at that time, even if your iPhone is off.
What it costs
The same as any fax in FaxBuddy: one credit per page, to all 17 countries we fax, from $0.40 a page in the 100-page pack. Your first page is free, cover pages are free, and if the fax isn’t delivered, the credits come back. See all prices · All 17 countries.
Questions
Do I need to dial 011 to fax Sweden from the US?
No. Type +46 and the number without its leading 0. The + replaces 011.
Is faxing Sweden more expensive?
No. FaxBuddy charges one credit per page to every country it faxes.
Can I fax a mobile number in Sweden?
FaxBuddy lets you, with a warning, but almost no mobile can receive a fax. Use the number marked “Fax”.
What if the fax doesn’t go through?
You see why (busy, no answer, not a fax machine), the credits come back automatically, and you can tap Retry Fax.
