What each type means for the caller
- Toll-free: 0800
- Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 9 digits after +41.
- Premium rate: 0900, 0901 or 0906
- Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 9 digits after +41.
- Shared cost: 0840, 0842, 0844 or 0848
- The caller pays part of the cost and the owner pays the rest, so the price sits between a free and a normal call. 9 digits after +41.
- Universal access (UAN): 051 or 058
- One national number for a business with several sites, routed to the nearest or chosen office. 9 digits after +41.
- Personal number: 0878
- A follow-me number that forwards to whatever phone its owner chooses, so the digits don't reveal the line behind it. 9 digits after +41.
Writing and dialling a Switzerland toll-free number
Inside Switzerland, dial the number with its leading 0. From abroad or in E.164, drop the 0 and put +41 in front: 0800 123 456 becomes +41800123456. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Switzerland, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.
Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list
In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Switzerland phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

Common questions
- What is the toll-free prefix in Switzerland?
- Switzerland toll-free numbers start with 0800 at home, written +41 800 internationally. Every valid toll-free number starts that way, though not every number with those digits is in service.
- How many digits is a Switzerland toll-free number?
- 9 digits after the country code +41, plus the trunk prefix 0 when dialled inside Switzerland.
- Can I call a Switzerland toll-free number from abroad?
- Sometimes. Dial +41 and the number without the leading 0. Many freephone numbers only take calls from inside Switzerland, and where they do connect from abroad the call is usually charged.
- How do I spot a premium-rate number in Switzerland?
- By its first digits: 0900, 0901 or 0906. Shared-cost numbers start with 0840, 0842, 0844 or 0848. The prefix tells you the range is charged; the actual price is set per service.

- Ranges, lengths and examples: Google libphonenumber numbering-plan data (libphonenumber-js 1.13.15), the data our validator uses.
- Official plan: ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan for Switzerland. The regulator’s filing is the authority when the two disagree.
The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.
In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
