Other Changes

Kimmo Ketolainen reports the following developments (January 1998):

  • "Finland now has the first 9 digit subscriber lines (in Lapland and in the capital area)"
  • "Shortest subscriber line numbers have 5 digits, shortest corporate switches only 4 digits. Most subscriber line numbers have 7 digits."
  • "Geographic area codes have two or three signifying numbers (02 ... 019)" (including initial 0 trunk digit - DL)
  • Long-term plans are to drop area codes and establish national subscriber numbers. However, these will not be standardised at 8 digits as previously thought, due to the introduction of 9-digit subscriber numbers.

 

Kimmo Ketolainen reported (November 1997):

  • "Finland is ready to adopt European jump codes: 1xx to another European country, such as 146 to Sweden (+46, in future apparently +346)."

 

12 October 1996 - national renumbering

A new area code system took effect throughout Finland in October 1996. Area codes were consolidated in this change.

Finland's telecom regulator has a page of numbering information.
