Sweden and the UK don’t appear to do much trading and, to use the UK government’s own words, it is “working to improve the UK’s reputation as a place to do business, to broker commercial partnerships and to increase Sweden’s inward investment in UK companies and projects”
But if you do business out there, or you’re looking to do business out there, then having a reliable conference call provider can help cut back on the hassle and expense of travelling for meetings.
Here’s how to set up an international conference call in just a few simple steps…

What’s the best time to call Sweden from the UK?
Stockholm is just 1,200 miles and a two-and-a-half hour flight from London, travelling out there regularly is neither practical nor cost-effective – and as Sweden is just one hour ahead of the UK, which means it’s perfect for doing business via conference call.
Do you need to use the worldwide dial-in number from the UK?
No, the UK participants can simply dial the UK dial-in number or the mobile shortcode when they are in the UK, and our system will automatically match your participants by your PIN.
Where is Sweden?
Situated in the far north of Europe, Sweden has coastlines along the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and is bordered by Norway to the west and north, and by Finland to the east.
What is the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice on traveling to Sweden?
If you’re travelling to Sweden, check the latest travel advice where Covid-19 restrictions are concerned and be prepared for plans to change at the last minute.
Almost a million British travelers make the short trip to Sweden each year, and you can expect to have a trouble free visit as crime is relatively low. You should remain vigilant of petty crime, particularly pick pockets in the major cities. If you’re travelling to Malmö or Gothenburg, be aware that instances of gang related crime, including shootings and explosions, have been reported.
And , hard as it may to believe, you need to be aware of potential terrorist threats, as there is a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria.
The country is used to dealing with bad weather, and so roads and railways can function relatively well in poor conditions, but you should allow more time fro travel when conditions are severe, and there will likely be delays to trains and flights.
