Sweden's healthcare system still relies on fax for patient referrals and medical records. Here's how to send a fax to any Swedish number from your iPhone.
Country Code
+46
Number Format
+46 XX XXX XXXX
Always dial the full number including +46 when sending from outside Sweden. TigerFax automatically prepends the country code when you select Sweden as your destination.
Special Dialing Format
Sweden uses a different fax number format than the US. Make sure you enter the number exactly as shown above — including the country code +46 — or your fax may not be delivered.
The primary business language in Sweden is Swedish. If you're faxing to a business contact, consider including a cover page with a brief note in Swedish if possible.
