Hitta, Eniro and other directory services get phone numbers from the operators. If you remove yourself from the sites but leave your number searchable, your details can come back, and Hitta itself warns about this. So ask your operator for an unlisted number (hemligt nummer). Then your number stops being passed on at the source.

Unlisted or hidden?

• Unlisted number (hemligt nummer): your number isn’t passed on to directory services. This is what you want.
• Hidden number (dolt nummer): your number isn’t shown when you call, but it can still be listed in directories.

Tele2 points out that your number is still shown to the recipient when you send texts or MMS, with both an unlisted and a hidden number.

Telia

1. Log in to Mitt Telia.
2. Go to Inställningar (settings), then Samtalsinställningar (call settings).
3. Choose an unlisted number and save. According to Telia, it can take up to five minutes for the change to apply.

Telia says that without an unlisted number, people can find your name, number and address through directory services. You also turn on an unlisted number for a landline in Mitt Telia. Telia: Set up an unlisted number (in Swedish).

Tele2

In Mitt Tele2 you can choose an unlisted number in directories only, or unlisted in directories and hidden when you call. Tele2: Unlisted and hidden numbers (in Swedish).

Tre

Tre only passes your name, phone number and address to directory companies if you’ve consented. You withdraw that consent in Mitt3 or through Tre’s customer service. According to Tre, it stops sharing the details the day after you withdraw consent. Tre’s data protection information (in Swedish).

Telenor

Telenor only passes your name, address, phone number and date of birth to directory companies if you’ve consented to a searchable number (sökbart nummer). You can withdraw that consent at any time. Look under your services in Mitt Telenor, or contact Telenor’s customer service. Telenor says the details go to Eniro, Dun & Bradstreet and Nodeus. Telenor’s privacy policy (in Swedish).

Another operator?

Look for “hemligt nummer”, “sökbart nummer” or “nummerupplysning” in your operator’s app or account pages, or ask customer service.

Remove yourself from the directories too

An unlisted number stops new sharing, but what has already been passed on can stay. Telenor says you need to contact the directory companies yourself if you want to be sure your details are deleted there.
