Yet Switzerland is one of the most demanding countries on the list. For a landline number, the registered office address must be in Switzerland, and the commercial register extract is what proves it. In practice, you need a company or branch entered in the Swiss commercial register. A company with no presence in Switzerland cannot provide this document. On the mobile side, Swiss numbers of this type are SMS-only: they cannot be used to make calls. For cold calling, a landline number is therefore the only option. ## Country code and number format - **Local (landline) **: +41 +41, then 9 digits, starting with the city code without the 0: 44 Zurich, 22 Geneva, 21 Lausanne, 31 Bern, 61 Basel. Example: +41 22 123 45 67. - **Mobile Not available **: +41 +41 7, then 8 digits (075 to 079 nationally). ## What you need to know ### One country, four languages A 22 or 21 number places you in French-speaking Switzerland, a 44 or 61 in German-speaking Switzerland, a 91 in Ticino. Choose the area code of the region you are calling, and the language that goes with it. ### The UID number Swiss entities have a business identification number (UID, IDE in French), in the format CHE-123.456.789. It is requested in addition to the extract. ### Outside the European Union Switzerland is not part of the EU: it has its own number allocation rules, and registration in the commercial register is the required route. ## Call prospects in Switzerland with a local number Skipcall assigns the local number and your teams call from the browser or the mobile app, with a number your prospects recognise.
