Denmark generally uses an eight-digit closed telephone numbering plan. Subscriber numbers are portable with respect to provider and geography, i.e. fixed line numbers can be ported to any physical address in Denmark.

The Kingdom of Denmark also includes two autonomous regions, the Faroe Islands and Greenland, although each has been assigned its own country calling code and has a separate numbering plan. Previously, the Faroe Islands also used the country code +45.[1]

Numbering[edit]

Split charge is not generally used in Denmark anymore; calls to 70 numbers are usually charged as regular landline calls. A few exceptions do exist, e.g., 70 10 11 55 (the TDC speaking clock service).

In the latest published numbering plan,[3] from 2016, there are exceptions to the landline series above. Almost all landline series have one or more exception based on their 3rd digit. Eg. 43-xx-xx-xx is designated as landline numbers, however 43-1x-xx-xx has been reassigned as a cellphone range.

Special numbers[edit]

  • Emergency (Police, Fire, Ambulance): 112
  • Police (non-emergency, nearest physical Police Station): 114
  • Other 3 digit short codes are reserved.
  • Carrier select codes: 10xx
  • Service numbers (such as directory enquiries): 18xx
  • Carrier select codes for data: 16xxx
  • Social services: 116xxx

06

East Jutland

07

West Jutland

08

North Jutland

09

Funen with surrounding islands

The Faroe Islands later adopted their own country code +298, with international dialling from Denmark being required.[5]

8-digit numbering took place in the years 1986/87, so that the area code had to be used every time, also for local calls.[6]

On 2. September 1986 in the 01, 02, 03 areas (Zealand, Lolland-Falster, Bornholm and Møn).

On 15. May 1987 in the 09 area (Funen and surrounding islands).

On 16 May 1989, digit 0 was omitted as the first digit, and all telephone numbers should start with a number from 3 to 9.[7]

Former area codes 1989 - approx. 1999
01 became 31
02 42
03 53
04 74
05 75
06 86
07 97
08 98
09 62, 64,

65, 66.

Today (since 1989) the same telephone number is dialed in Denmark, regardless of where you call from, but the dialling information is still in principle at the forefront of the number. Numbers beginning with 20-31 are preferably mobile numbers, those beginning with 70 and 72-79 are preferably landline numbers, and so on.

How many 7 digit numbers can be formed?

Hence, the answer is 106. Was this answer helpful?

WHEN DID phone numbers become 7 digits?

As 1994 nears its end, 1+10 or 10 becomes required throughout the numbering plan in preparation for interchangeable NPA codes. All local numbers now have seven-digit, as the last technological hold-outs have given way to modern switching technology.

How many seven

= 8,000,000. Therefore, according to the condition that the first digit cannot be either 1 or 0, we can have 8,000,000 possible ways of creating a seven-digit area code. Now, according to the other condition which states that the first three-digits cannot have the numbers 911 or 411.

How many different telephone numbers are possible?

Well, this could turn out to be a simple permutation problem: you have ten number choices (0-9) for each digit of a phone number and repetitions are allowed. Technically, there could be as many as 10 10 = 10 , 000 , 000 , 000 , or 10 billion possible phone numbers in the U.S.
