What's the difference between "Fixed" and "Mobile"?
"Fixed" stands for landline number, for instance 08-686 00 00 where 08 is the area code for Stockholm. We have landline numbers for all of the regions in Sweden. We also have a large number of landline numbers in other countries as well.
"Mobile" means mobile number, for instance 076-686 00 00. We offer mobile numbers in a big majority of countires around the world.
On our price list you can find the cost of a number in each country. Our Support might have to help you to allocate a number, in some countries, manually. Get in touch and we will fix that for you.
