This is a list of telephone dialling codes in the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies, which adopts an open telephone numbering plan for its public switched telephone network. The national telephone numbering plan is maintained by Ofcom, an independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries. This list is based on the official standard, but includes defunct codes and historical changes, including the derivation of the two letter identities, in cases where known.[1][2][3] Dialling codes do not correspond to specific political boundaries: for example, the Coventry dialling code covers a large area of Warwickshire and the Manchester dialling code covers part or all of several neighbouring towns.
When dialling within the country, all area codes are preceded by the national trunk prefix0, which has been included in all listings in this article. 0 was traditionally the number dialled for the operator for long-distance calls before subscriber trunk dialling (STD) was introduced, and so was retained as a prefix for direct-dialled calls. In the majority of areas, the area code still corresponds to the original STD letter code. When dialling from abroad, the 0 prefix is not dialled. When dialling within the same area, the area code is not needed, save for a handful of areas that do require this. When calling from a mobile telephone or through a VoIP service, such as BT's 'Digital Voice', the area code is always needed.
0401 was Hornsea (HO1) – numbers were transferred to 0964 (ELNS)[notes 14]
0401 later used for Cellnet mobile; changed from 0401 to 07701 on 28 April 2001
01402 — unused
0402 was not an area code on its own. 04022 was Upminster, 04023 was Ingrebourne, 04024 was Hornchurch (HO2), 04025 was South Ockendon, 04026 was Purfleet, 04027 was Rainham and 04028 was Stapleford Abbotts – numbers were transferred to 0708[notes 14][notes 26]
0402 later used for Cellnet mobile; changed from 0402 to 07702 on 28 April 2001
0500 was Edinburgh, Lothian (LO0) – numbers were transferred to 031[notes 14]
0500 was later used for 9-digit C&WC FreeCall numbers. New numbers were not allocated after 28 April 2001, although numbers active before that date remained in use until the range was shut down in July 2017[9]
0800 was Tongue (TO0) – numbers were transferred to 0847 (ELNS)[notes 14]
0800 later used for BT Freefone numbers - usage of BT 9-digit 0800 numbers continued after the Big Number Change; all new 0800 allocations have 10 digits and multiple operators now issue 0800 numbers
01801 — unused
0801 was Thrapston, Oundle – – Was originally 0085 (OU5) until changed to 0801 in 1968 – numbers were transferred to 0832[notes 14]
01802 — unused
original area allocation unknown
0802 later used for Cellnet mobile; changed from 0802 to 07802 on 28 April 2001
was Antrim – numbers were transferred to 028 on 22 April 2000
01850 — unused
0850 was Callanish, Lewis, Outer Hebrides – – Was originally 0040 (OH0) until changed to 0850 in 1968 – numbers were transferred to 0851 (ELNS)[notes 14]
0850 later used for Cellnet mobile; changed from 0850 to 07850 on 29 April 2001
Brand new area code allocation post-BigNumber for a new town, chosen to be significantly different from the area codes of the adjacent areas of Gravesend and Dartford.[14]
The code 0999 was used for dialling by PO operators only to mobile relief exchanges in the Glasgow area in the 1970s. Likely reason for non-allocation of 01999 is similarity to the 999 emergency services access code.
01426, 01523 and other non-standard 01 prefixes were briefly used for pagers[8] in the late 1990s and then moved to new 076 prefixes in the Big Number Change in 2000/2001.
The number format '2+8' refers to, e.g. London, numbers using the (020) xxxx xxxx format.[18]
The number format '5+4' refers to, e.g. Brampton, numbers using the (0169 77) xxxx format.[18]
Areas with mandatory area code dialling
In the following areas, the area code must be included when dialling local numbers. This enables local numbers to start with 0 or 1 and was introduced to increase the number of available telephone numbers within these areas.
^(023) Wide area. Southampton numbers begin 80, 81, 82. Portsmouth numbers begin 92, 93, 94. Local numbers have eight digits.
^(024) Wide area. Coventry numbers begin 75, 76, 77. Local numbers have eight digits.
^(028) Eight-digit local numbers begin as follows: Ballycastle: 20, Martinstown: 21, Ballymena: 25, Ballymoney: 27, Larne: 28, Kilrea: 29, Newry: 30, Armagh: 37, Portadown: 38, Banbridge: 40, Rostrevor: 41, Kircubbin: 42, Newcastle (Co. Down): 43, Downpatrick: 44, Enniskillen: 66, Lisnaskea: 67, Kesh: 68, Coleraine: 70, Derry: 71, Limavady: 77, Magherafelt: 79, Carrickmore: 80, Newtownstewart: 81, Omagh: 82, Ballygawley: 85, Cookstown: 86, Dungannon: 87, Fivemiletown: 89, Belfast: 90 and 95, Bangor (Co. Down): 91, Lisburn: 92, Ballyclare: 93, Antrim: 94, Saintfield: 97. When dialling Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland, it may be cheaper to dial 048 xxxx xxxx rather than the normal 00 44 28 xxxx xxxx (see ComReg websiteArchived 2015-11-08 at the Wayback Machine).
^ ab(0118) Numbers in Reading separately migrated to 0118 several years after PhONEday and a couple of years before the BigNumber change. Local numbers have seven digits and begin 2, 3, 4 or 9.
^(029) Wide area. Cardiff numbers begin 20, 21, 22. Local numbers have eight digits.
^(0191) ELNS area. Tyneside numbers begin 2, 4, 6, 8 (North Tyneside/Newcastle 2, 6 – South Tyneside/Gateshead 4, 8). Durham numbers begin 3, 9. Sunderland numbers begin 5, 7. Local numbers have seven digits.

There are some places with the standard (01xxx) four-digit area code but which have both six-digit and five-digit local numbers, as described at Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom. These codes include 01204, 01208, 01254, 01276, 01297, 01298, 01363, 01364, 01384, 01386, 01404, 01420, 01460, 01461, 01480, 01488, 01524 (mixed), 01527, 01562, 01566, 01606, 01629, 01635, 01647, 01659, 01695, 01726, 01744, 01750, 01768 (mixed), 01827, 01837, 01884, 01900, 01905, 01935, 01946 (mixed), 01949, 01963 and 01995.
^ abThere are some places with an (01xx xx) five-digit area code. These areas can potentially have either or both five-digit and four-digit local numbers. Nowadays only Brampton (0169 77) has four-digit local numbers (0169 77) 2xxx and (0169 77) 3xxx, as well as five-digit local numbers (0169 77) 4xxxx to (0169 77) 9xxxx, as described at Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom and at Ofcom. "Code and number blocks – 1600 00 to 1799 99". Office of Communication. Archived from the original on 18 September 2012.
^(01388) ELNS area. Bishop Auckland numbers begin 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9. Stanhope (Eastgate) numbers begin 2, 5.
^(01396) Mixed area. Downpatrick numbers began 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 before 2000.
^Historical note: In fact 0402 was equivalent to 07088, and translated as such for call connection, but (say) 070884 xxxxx was too long a dial string for the numbering plan, so 04024 xxxxx was used.
^(01423) ELNS area. Boroughbridge numbers begin 3, 4, 9. Harrogate numbers begin 2, 5, 6, 7, 8.
^(01430) ELNS area. Market Weighton numbers begin 6, 7, 8, 9. North Cave numbers begin 2, 3, 4, 5.
^(01434) ELNS area. Bellingham numbers begin 2, 4, 9. Haltwhistle numbers begin 3, 5. Hexham numbers begin 6, 7, 8.
^(01437) ELNS area. Clynderwen (Clunderwen) numbers begin 2, 3, 4, 5. Haverfordwest numbers begin 6, 7, 8, 9.

^(01507) ELNS area. Alford (Lincs) numbers begin 4, 8, 9. Louth numbers begin 3, 6, 7. Spilsby numbers begin 2, 5.

^(01890) ELNS area. Ayton numbers begin 5, 6, 7, 9. Coldstream numbers begin 2, 3, 4, 8.
^ abHistorical note: 0930 was a Premium rate number range, however 0930 7 was used by One2One mobile phones. Where switchboards blocked 0930 as Premium rate, the mobile phones could not be contacted. 0961 7 was mirrored onto this allocation to get round the problem.
^(01964) ELNS area. Hornsea numbers begin 2, 5, 8, 9. Patrington numbers begin 3, 4, 6, 7.
^(01975) ELNS area. Alford (Aberdeen) numbers begin 2, 4, 5, 9. Strathdon numbers begin 3, 6, 7, 8.
