Telephone Numbers In Finland
Both Finland and the Åland Islands share the same country code.
Country Code: +358
International Call Prefix: 00
Trunk Prefix: 0
Finland's numbering plan was reorganised in 1996, with the number of area codes being reduced, and the trunk code being changed from 9 to 0. This meant that the area code for Helsinki also changed:
| Within Finland | Outside Finland | |
|---|---|---|
| Before 1996 | 90 xxx xxx | +358 0 xxx xxx |
| After 1996 | 09 xxx xxx | +358 9 xxx xxx |
The default international access code became 00, although other codes such as 990-999 are also still used.

Famous quotes containing the words telephone and/or numbers:
“Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
