It will be less expensive to be a travelling Scandinavian in Telenor's network. Today, Telenor launches the additional service Ring Scandinavia - a new offer to business customers in Norway with a high share of mobile roaming traffic in Scandinavia. Telenor is simultaneously gathering the companies in Scandinavia under one brand and offering its services to around 7 million customers in the region.
"Our customers have the desired benefits from us operating in Sweden and Denmark, and we are now offering an additional service that reduces the mobile costs for these customers," says Abraham Foss, head of business markets at Telenor Norway.

High volumes of roaming traffic


Sweden and Denmark currently account for approximately 30 per cent of the total roaming voice traffic. It is therefore important that Telenor has a good offer for our customers in Scandinavia. Having our own companies in Sweden and Denmark enables us to provide an attractive offer in the Telenor network in Scandinavia.

Broad customer base


Ring Scandinavia is Telenor's first additional service for roaming voice traffic, and is aimed at business customers with large traffic volumes in Scandinavia. The low monthly charge means that the service will appeal to a broad customer base. In practice, it will benefit customers with around 20 minutes of outgoing traffic in Scandinavia per month.

Facts on Ring Scandinavia



  • Additional service with lower call costs in the Nordic region when the customer uses Telenor's network in Sweden and Denmark.

  • The service is available for all business customers with a post-paid voice subscription.

  • Monthly subscription NOK 15

  • Call charge (outgoing) NOK 1.29 per minute (ordinary price without Ring Scandinavia NOK 2.49)

  • Call charge (incoming) NOK 0.99 per minute. (ordinary price without Ring Scandinavia NOK 1.49)

  • Starting price per call NOK 0.59

  • Ring Scandinavia prices apply in Telenor's network in Sweden and Denmark. For other networks, standard/list prices apply for roaming in the Nordic region. Our systems help the customer to access Telenor's network by controlling the telephone, but we cannot guarantee that the customer will always be on Telenor's network. The customer must therefore also pay attention to what network is used.

Mobile broadband Scandinavia


Before summer 2008, Telenor in Norway launched the additional product Mobile Broadband Scandinavia. Mobile Broadband Scandinavia is a free additional service for roaming data traffic, which is automatically added for all customers with a mobile broadband subscription with Telenor (both business and consumer customers). The service means that customers with a mobile broadband subscription with Telenor in Sweden and Denmark will pay a maximum of NOK 80 per day (excl. VAT) for up to 200 megabytes (MB). For capacity over 200 MB, ordinary list prices apply.
