Is it possible to sign any contract in Sweden without a personnummer? - Crop businessman giving contract to woman to sign

I am staying in Sweden for a year and have come across this situation multiple times now. As a european citizen I should be allowed to make contract with, banks, internet service provider and thelike, shouldn't I? But with those two examples I seem to hit a solid wall when I say I don't have a personnummer (social security number for swedish citizens). Getting a SIM for my phone was no problem at all though, but only in the prepaid version, no contract there either.

So: Is there any way to do business with swedish companies without having a personnummer?

I only get one of these numbers if my studies last one year or longer, which they don't, the last two months are just vacation.

P.S. last time I asked sth like this I was referred to the immigration sx site in area 51 which was closed at some point, so I don't know a better place for this question...
