Telephone numbers in the Faroe Islands have used a closed numbering plan, with 6-digit subscriber's numbers since 1998.[1] Numbers are usually printed in three groups of two digits. E.g. Tórshavn municipality's city hall has the telephone number 30 20 10.[2]
Unusually for countries in Europe, the Faroe Islands were assigned the country calling code by the International Telecommunication Union beginning with the digit "2", in common with countries in Africa.[3] At the time, however, all country codes beginning with "3" and "4", reserved for countries in Europe, were already in use.[4] Originally, telephone numbers in the Faroe Islands could be reached using the country code for Denmark, +45, followed by the area code 42.[5]
Calls to Denmark require the use of the international access code00 and country code45; previously, only the digit 0 was required before the subscriber's eight-digit number, with calls to the rest of the world using the international access code 009 and the country code.[6]
