Telephone plans and emergency number: thank you Europe!

If, like me, you have already travelled in Europe before 2016, you have surely experienced the galley of very high costs from the least SMS once outside our native France.

But since June 2016, the European Union has obliged all European operators to apply exactly the same tariffs, regardless of the country in which you are located, as long as it is part of the European Union. If in doubt, check with your operator, but normally your package is unchanged. This applies to text messages, calls and internet plans that you have subscribed to from your operator.

If you would like to call a French number, please dial +33 or +46 for a Swedish number.

Finally, if for any reason you would like to take a Swedish number on site, you can choose between Telia, Telenor, Tele2 and 3 Sverige. Be aware, however, that prices can be high and you may be asked for a Swedish ID... which can be quite complicated to obtain.

Finally, in another register, you should know that in Sweden the emergency number is 112, which includes fire brigade, police and medical emergencies.
