List of United Kingdom dialing codes

Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom are administered by the Office of Communications (Ofcom). For this purpose, Ofcom established a telephone numbering plan, known as the National Telephone Numbering Plan, which is the system for assigning telephone numbers to subscriber stations.

The numbers are of variable length. Local numbers are supported from land-lines or numbers can be dialled with a ‘0’-lead prefix that denotes either a geographical region or another service. Mobile phone numbers have their own prefixes which are not geographical and are completely portable between providers.

Structure[edit]

All mobile numbers, nearly all geographic numbers and nearly all non-geographic numbers have 10 national (significant) numbers after the «0» trunk code. The overall structure of the UK’s National Numbering Plan is:[1]

Prefix Service type
00 International
01 Geographic area codes
02 Geographic area codes (introduced in 2000).
03 Non-geographic numbers charged at standard geographic area code rates (introduced in 2007)
04 Not in use
05 Corporate numbering and VoIP services; toll-free services (0500) until June 2017
06 Not in use
07 Mobile telephony (071xx–075xx and 077xx–079xx), personal numbering (070xx), non-UK mobile networks (07624) and pagers (076xx)
08 Toll-free services (080x), special-rate services (084x and 087x)
09 Premium rate services

In the United Kingdom, area codes are two, three, four or, exceptionally, five digits long (after the initial zero). Regions with shorter area codes, typically large cities, permit the allocation of more telephone numbers as the local number portion has more digits. Local customer numbers are four to eight digits long. The total number of digits is ten or, very rarely, nine (not including the initial zero). The «area code» is also referred to as an «STD (code)» or a «dialling code» in the UK.[citation needed]

The code allocated to the largest population is (020) for London. The code allocated to the largest area is (028) for all of Northern Ireland. The UK Numbering Plan also applies to three British Crown dependencies – Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man – even though they are not part of the UK.

Number ranges starting 01 can have National Significant Number (NSN) length of 10 or (very rarely) 9 digits. NSN is the number of digits after the leading 0 trunk code or +44 international prefix. The 0800 range can have NSN length as 10, 9 or 7 digits. The 0845 range can have NSN length as 10 or 7 digits. The 0500 range had NSN length as 9 digits only, and was withdrawn from use on 3 June 2017. All other UK numbers have NSN length of 10 digits. There are no telephone numbers in the UK with an NSN length of 8 digits.

Geographic numbers[edit]

Standard geographic numbers[edit]

Geographic telephone numbers in the UK always have nine or ten digits after the 0 trunk code or +44 international dialling prefix.

Four-digit area codes[edit]

Four-digit area codes have either six-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of five- and six-digit subscriber numbers.

  • (01xxx) xxx xxx

This is the format used by most areas. It has a four-digit area code (after the initial zero) and a six digit subscriber number, and is known as 4+6 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. Just short of 581 areas use this format, and the area codes range from 01200 to 01998. Almost all (01xxx) area codes now have only six digit subscriber numbers, but a small number of these areas also have some subscriber numbers only five digits in length (see next section).

01224 Aberdeen 22 = AB
01244 Chester 24 = CH
01382 Dundee 38 = DU
01387 Dumfries (mixed) 38 = DU local numbers cannot begin with 3
01452 Gloucester 45 = GL
01472 Grimsby 47 = GR
01473 Ipswich 47 = IP
01429 Hartlepool 42 = HA
01482 Hull 48 = HU
01539 Kendal (mixed) 53 = KE local numbers cannot begin with 4, 5 or 6
01582 Luton 58 = LU
01642 Teesside or Middlesbrough 64 = MI
01670 Morpeth 67 = MP
01697 Brampton, North West (mixed) 69 = NW local numbers cannot begin with 3, 4 or 7
01733 Peterborough 73 = PE
01736 Penzance 73 = PE
01772 Preston 77 = PR
01792 Swansea 79 = SW
01793 Swindon 79 = SW
01854 Ullapool 85 = UL
01947 Whitby 94 = WH

Six of the four-digit area codes are known as «mixed» areas as they share those four digits with the twelve five-digit area codes. This leads to a restriction as to which initial digits can be used for subscriber numbers within those four-digit area codes, e.g. in the 01387 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 3 because 013873 is a separate five-digit area code; likewise in the 01946 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 7 because 019467 is a separate five-digit area code.

  • (01xxx) xx xxx

This is used for forty smaller towns which have a mixture of six and five digit local numbers, each type allocated in specific DE blocks*; e.g. in the 01647 area code numbers beginning 24 and 61 have five digits (24xxx and 61xxx; known as 4+5 format) whereas all other DE blocks* within that area code have six digit numbers. The number of places with five digit subscriber numbers and an 01xxx area code has declined rapidly in recent decades. There were 511 ranges allocated across 56 different area codes in January 1998. The Big Number Change removed many, especially in Northern Ireland, and by July 2005 there were only 329 ranges in 42 codes. By April 2010 this had reduced to 324 ranges in 40 codes, with still the same number in November 2012. The 40 area codes are listed in the table below.

*A DE block is a block of numbers where (taking the area code and the subscriber number together) the initial 0 and the next six digits after it are the same for all the subscriber numbers in the block.

(These area codes, like many others, were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.)

Three-digit area codes[edit]

Three-digit area codes always have seven-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 011x or 01×1.

  • (01×1) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the first round of five large cities moved to all figure dialling in the 1960s, and subsequently also used in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham and south-eastern Northumberland from the 1980s onwards. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 1×1 (after the initial zero) and a seven digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0121 Birmingham formerly 021 (2 = B)
0131 Edinburgh formerly 031 (3 = E)
0141 Glasgow formerly 041 (4 = G)
0151 Liverpool formerly 051 (5 = L)
0161 Manchester formerly 061 (6 = M)
0171 Used for Inner London from 1990 until 2000
0181 Used for Outer London from 1990 until 2000
0191 County of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham,
south-eastern Northumberland
formerly 091 (9 = tYne)
  • (011x) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the second round of large cities and towns moved to brand-new three-digit area codes. Five of these were moved in 1995 as a part of PhONEday, with Reading then following a year later. At the time of the change, an extra digit was added to the subscriber number. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 11x, with a seven-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. The first three digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. The former Reading area code had already been changed once, by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0113 Leeds formerly 0532 (53 = LE)
0114 Sheffield formerly 0742 (74 = SH)
0115 Nottingham formerly 0602 (60 = NO)
0116 Leicester formerly 0533 (53 = LE)
0117 Bristol formerly 0272 (27 = BR)
0118 Reading formerly 0734, then 01734 (73 = RE)

Two-digit area codes[edit]

Two-digit area codes always have eight-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 02.

  • (02x) xxxx xxxx

This is the newest geographic number format. It is used for the third tier of large cities and for Northern Ireland, and was formed as a part of the Big Number Change in 2000. The new area code is much shorter than the old one, and begins 02 unlike the previous 01 area codes. Numbers in these five areas are commonly misquoted, e.g. London as 0207 or Cardiff as 02920. The numbers consist of a two-digit area code matching the pattern 02x, and an eight-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 2+8 format.

The first four digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. At the time of the change, the subscriber part of the number gained an extra digit in London, those in Northern Ireland gained two or three digits, and the subscriber part of the number in the other areas gained two digits. All of these areas were also subject to a previous code change, one that added a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

Five-digit area codes[edit]

Five-digit area codes have either five-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of four- and five-digit subscriber numbers.
Five-digit area codes always share their first four digits with four-digit area codes.

  • (01xx xx) xx xxx and (01xx xx) xxxx

This is the oldest geographic number format and is used for twelve smaller towns and villages where the subscriber number is either five or (in one area code) four digits long. These are known as 5+5 and 5+4 format. Therefore, the STD code and the subscriber number does not always total ten digits after the initial zero trunk code. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. The number of places using these two formats has declined rapidly in recent decades and Brampton is the last place in the UK with four-digit local numbers.

0138 73 Langholm
0152 42 Hornby
0153 94 Hawkshead
0153 95 Grange-over-Sands
0153 96 Sedbergh
0169 73 Wigton
0169 74 Raughton Head
0169 77 Brampton[7][8]
0176 83 Appleby
0176 84 Pooley Bridge
0176 87 Keswick
0194 67 Gosforth

The above twelve area codes and their six ‘parent’ area codes (01387, 01524, 01539, 01697, 01768 and 01946) are known as ‘Mixed’ areas due to multiple area codes sharing the same SABC digits (i.e. the initial zero and the following four digits).

National dialling only ranges[edit]

These ranges have subscriber numbers beginning with the digits «0» or «1», e.g.:

0169 770 xxxx Brampton
01332 050 xxx Derby
01382 006 xxx Dundee
0141 005 xxxx Glasgow
0117 101 xxxx Bristol
0118 00x xxxx Reading
020 0003 xxxx London

Currently, these numbers are mostly used as the termination points for non-geographic numbers, and by some automated systems such as alarms. As such they are not usually meant to be directly dialled. Using these numbers directly has been problematic as some mobile phone operators in the UK do not allow access to these ranges,[9] and there may also be difficulty accessing these numbers from outside the UK.

Regulator Ofcom proposes that in future these ranges be released for wider, general-purpose use in up to 70 area codes facing number shortage[10] but then, in order to avoid confusion with codes beginning with these digits, the area code would always have to be dialled for all calls, even from within the same geographic exchange. Accordingly, if these numbers are eventually released for general use, Ofcom proposes completely removing the ability to dial locally without the area code in areas affected.

Requiring the use of the area code also allows additional local numbers starting with normally protected Special Services numbers (such as 999, 101, 111, 112 etc.) to be used, significantly increasing the quantity of numbers available for use. This occurred on 1 November 2012 for the 01202 area code, which covers the Bournemouth area.[11]

Recently, the carrier TalkTalk have inadvertently released parts of the 020 0011 range to the general public,[12] with these numbers currently being in use. For example, the charity Give a Car used the number 020 0011 1664 for a while, but recently switched to a proper London number.

Mobile telephones[edit]

  • 07xxx xxx xxx—mobile phones and WiFi numbers.

Individual mobile phone companies are allocated different ranges within the 073xx, 074xx, 075xx, 07624, 077xx, 078xx and 079xx area codes. Changes to mobile phone numbers in the Big Number Change were mostly straight replacements, such as Vodafone customers on the 0378 block became 07778.

071xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since January 2017)
073xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2014)
074xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2009)
075xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since May 2007)
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones on the Isle of Man
077xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 03xx and 04xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
078xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 05xx, 06xx and 08xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
079xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 09xx—mostly EE (formerly Orange and one2one))
07911 2xx xxx
07911 8xx xxx
Number range for data-only services (e.g. 3G/LTE-enabled tablet computers, portable modem routers, data devices, etc.)

Since the advent of Mobile number portability, mobile phone number prefixes can no longer be relied on to determine the current operator of a particular mobile phone – only the original operator.

Pagers and personal numbering[edit]

  • 07x xxxx xxxx—pagers and personal numbering (PNS).
070 xxxx xxxx Personal numbering
076 xxxx xxxx Pagers (excluding 07624, used for mobile phones on the Isle of Man)

Personal numbers beginning 070 are regulated by Phone-paid Services Authority.

Calls to 070 and 076 numbers are often charged at a much higher rate than the similar-looking 07xxx mobile telephone numbers and often they are not included in «inclusive minutes» in phone contracts.

From 1 October 2019, Ofcom has capped the termination or wholesale rate for calls to 070 numbers to be at the same level as for calls to mobile numbers. Ofcom «expect[s] this will allow phone companies to price calls to these numbers or include them in call allowances in the same way that they do for calls to mobile [number]s«.[13]

Non-geographic numbers[edit]

Non-geographic numbers charged at geographic rate[edit]

  • 03xx xxx xxxx—»UK-wide» numbering.

03xx is a range of non-geographic numbers introduced in 2007 as a cheaper alternative to the shared-cost non-geographic numbers (such as 0870 or 0845 numbers). In contrast to the 084x/087x range, calls to 03 numbers are considered local calls for billing purposes (i.e., like calls to a geographic number 01 or 02).[14] This means that customers who are benefiting from inclusive minutes on mobile phone or landline calling plans are also able to call these numbers using their inclusive minutes.[15]

There are three different ranges of numbers: those beginning 030x are reserved for qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations; those beginning 033x can be allocated to anyone; and those beginning 034x and 037x have been allocated for migration from the matching 084x and 087x number ranges respectively.[16]

030x xxx xxxx For qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations as defined by Ofcom
033x xxx xxxx For any end user
034x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 084x numbers
037x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 087x numbers

Corporate and VoIP numbering[edit]

  • 05x xxxx xxxx—Corporate and VoIP numbering.

Unlike 03 numbers there is no uniform pricing for 05 numbers; BT charge a number of different rates depending on the number dialled.[17] Some are charged at geographic rate, others not. Other operators are not required to charge the same rates as BT for calling 05 numbers.

055 xxxx xxxx Corporate Numbering (but also used by BT for its Broadband Voice service)
056 xxxx xxxx Allocated by Ofcom for LIECS (Location Independent Electronic Communications Services), e.g. VoIP services

Freephone numbers[edit]

  • 0500 xxx xxx—Freephone services allocated before 1999.

Until July 2017, the 0500 range was used for some freephone services which were originally provided by Mercury Communications Ltd (now Cable & Wireless Worldwide). These numbers were different from the rest of the 05 range in that they are only 9 digits in length after the 0 trunk code, e.g. 0500 007 007 (National Savings and Investments), 0500 2 88 2 91 (BBC Radio 2, 88 to 91 FM), 0500 600 600 (Crimewatch), 0500 600 700 (Watchdog[clarification needed]) and 0500 909 693 (BBC Radio 5 Live, 909 and 693 kHz). Numerous universities, government departments, airlines, banks and businesses also used these numbers. They were allocated before the general trend of using longer numbers started in 1997 and long before the rest of the 05 range was assigned to corporate and VoIP numbering after 2000.

0500 xxx xxx[notes 2] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, up to 40p per minute from mobile.

The range was withdrawn by Ofcom in July 2017[18] as a result of a series of consultations starting from 2012.[19] The number range
08085 xxx xxx was made available to owners of 0500 xxx xxx to enable a smooth transition.

  • 0800 xxx xxx, 0800 xxx xxxx and 0808 xxx xxxx—Freephone services.
0800 xxx xxx[notes 3] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, and was up to 40p per minute from mobile, until July 2015 when calls to 080 numbers from mobiles became free. Calls to certain charity and similar services were always free from most mobiles.
0808 9xx xxxx numbers are used by freephone internet services.
0800 xxx xxxx
0808 xxx xxxx

There is one short «special» number in this range, 0800 11 11 for Childline.

Additionally, numbers in the range 0808 80x xxxx are reserved for not-for-profit helplines and as such are usually free to call from most mobile telephones. A number of other numbers can also be called for free from mobiles,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] but this varies by network.

Fixed-rate or special-rate services[edit]

  • 084x xxx xxxx (Special Services basic rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services
  • 087x xxx xxxx (Special Services higher rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services.

With the exception of 080x freephone numbers, 08xx numbers are charged above geographic rates, with some of the extra revenue going to the terminating telco. This additional revenue may be shared with the subscriber, but is often used instead to subsidise additional network services, such as fax-to-email, virtual office applications, call queuing, voicemail and easy number redirection. None of these call management services is exclusive to 08xx numbers and they could be provided on any number range.

Special Services basic rate range:

0845 xxx xxxx Up to 5p a minute, varies daytime/evening/weekend, from BT landline, other providers may charge more; up to 42p a minute from mobiles.

The usage of 0871, 0872 and 0873 numbers is regulated by PhonepayPlus.[28]

There was widespread confusion about the cost of calling 084 and 087 numbers until 2015. They often do not qualify for discounts and bundled minutes, and can be prohibitively expensive when called from mobiles and payphones. Many major companies persist in misdescribing them as «Local Rate», «Lo Call» (often as ‘locall rate’ which can be easily misread as ‘local rate’) or «National Rate» for which the Advertising Standards Authority can take action.[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]
[40][41][42]

Access charge and service charge[edit]

From 1 July 2015, the charge for calls to 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers has been simplified. It is split into two parts: An access charge, payable to the telephone service provider – e.g. BT, EE, Sky – plus a service charge paid to the company offering the service.

Companies with 084, 087, and 09 numbers must declare the service charge element of the call cost when advertising their phone number; for example, a number may be advertised saying «Calls cost 20p per minute plus your phone company’s access charge».[43] Telecoms companies must inform their customers about their access charge for calling each number range. The EU Consumer Rights Directive requires that many entities that held 084 and 087 numbers will no longer be allowed to use them. The directive bans the usage of numbers that cost more than calling a geographic number for customer service and complaints lines, and other such purposes.[44][45] Since Britain left the EU the Directive as such no longer applies, but its provisions may have been incorporated into British law.[needs update]

Other 08xx number ranges[edit]

  • 08xx xxx xxxx—Internet for schools and Inbound routing codes.
0820 xxx xxxx Special Services: Internet for schools
0899 9xx xxxx Inbound routing codes

Premium rate content services (PRS and SES)[edit]

  • 09xx xxx xxxx—Premium Rate Content Services

Numbers in the 09xx range are charged at the highest rates of any calls within the United Kingdom, and are controlled by various regulations regarding their use. The regulator is the Phone-paid Services Authority, formerly PhonepayPlus.[28] There are a large number of charge bands, some with high pence-per-minute rates, others with a high fixed-price for the entire call.

090x xxx xxxx Premium rate content services (PRS)
0908 xxx xxxx
0909 xxx xxxx
Sexual entertainment services (SES) (not available for new allocations)
091x xxx xxxx Premium rate non-content services (PRS)
098x xxx xxxx Sexual entertainment services (SES)

The earlier unused 092x xxx xxxx – 099x xxx xxxx allocation for «Broadband Internet Services» no longer exists and was removed from the number plan in 2005.

Crown dependencies[edit]

Although calls from UK landlines to landlines in the islands are charged at the same rate as those to other UK landlines (i.e. they are not treated as international calls), calls may be excluded from calling plans offering unlimited UK fixed line calls.

Mobile operators may also charge more for calls to the islands and these calls are usually excluded from calling plans. Calls and SMS messages sent to island mobile phone numbers are not charged at the same rate as calls to UK mobile phone numbers.

Guernsey[edit]

This area code is used for the Bailiwick of Guernsey, i.e. including Alderney and Sark.

(01481) xxx xxx Fixed line 48 = GU
(01481) 822 xxx Fixed line (Alderney)
(01481) 823 xxx
(01481) 824 xxx
(01481) 832 xxx Fixed line (Sark)
(01481) 833 xxx
07781 xxx xxx Sure mobile phones and pagers
07839 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile phones
07911 xxx xxx Wave Telecom mobile phones, not for UK

Jersey[edit]

(01534) xxx xxx Fixed line 53 = JE
07509 xxx xxx Jersey Telecom mobile phones and pagers
07797 xxx xxx
07937 xxx xxx
07700 xxx xxx Sure mobile network
07829 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile network

Several Jersey companies also have non-geographic numbers allocated.[46]

Isle of Man[edit]

(01624) xxx xxx Fixed line 62 = MA
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones and paging services
07524 xxx xxx Mobile phones additional capacity
07924 xxx xxx

On the Isle of Man, both fixed (01624) and mobile phone (07624) numbers can be dialled locally in the six-digit format.

Fictitious numbers[edit]

Ofcom has also reserved certain number ranges for use in television dramas and films, so as to avoid the risk of people having their telephone numbers displayed and receiving unwanted calls. This is similar to the use of fictitious telephone numbers in the United States and Canada starting with the digits 555.

In most of the large cities with three-digit area codes, a range of numbers is reserved, usually all the numbers starting with the digits 496. For fictitious numbers in other areas, the area code 01632 is reserved; this code is not in use, although 0632 was used for Newcastle upon Tyne until the late 1980s (63 = NE) and briefly reallocated for use by premium rate services in the 1990s. There are also reserved ranges for fictitious mobile, freephone and premium rate numbers.[47][48]

The Post Office even produced dial centre labels for use in advertisements and film/TV with a mythical exchange called VINcent plus four digits. The numerical equivalent of VIN was 846 and all the caller got was the speaking clock (i.e. 846 is also numerical equivalent of TIM) in the big city «Director» areas.[49]

At around the same time as the other Big Number Change changes, Ofcom revised their recommendations to update the prefixes, add additional areas and increase the size of the allocation from 10 to 1,000 numbers per block. Those changes are listed in the Big Number Change article.

In Coronation Street, the fictional Manchester suburb of Weatherfield uses the unallocated range (0161) 715 xxxx.[50]

Special service numbers[edit]

Emergency services and helplines[edit]

The UK has two free emergency numbers: the traditional 999, which is still widely used, and the EU standard 112. Both 999 and 112 are used to contact all emergency services: Police, Fire Service, Ambulance Service and Coastguard. (Standard advice for Mountain Rescue or Cave Rescue is to ask the emergency operator for the police, who oversee the communication with these two services.[51][52][53])

Both numbers can be called from mobile phones with the keylock on or without entering the PIN where that would otherwise be required. Although some mobile phones allow emergency calls to be attempted without a SIM card, at present the UK networks reject such calls. Since November 2009, an emergency call can be made through any UK mobile network as long as there is a SIM for any valid UK network in the handset. Although UK VOIP phone providers are required to offer 999 / 112 service, this is subject to a registration for the service and with a verified service address and users need to be aware such service may not work in a power blackout; however, International VOIP providers may not provide this service.

The chargeable number 101 was introduced for non-urgent crime and community safety calls on a trial basis in 2006. In Wales, the scheme was taken forward by all four police forces, who adopted the number for non-emergency calls on a permanent basis in early 2009. In England, the scheme was on trial until 2012, when it was adopted nationwide and the cost to call changed from 10p per call to 15p per call. In Northern Ireland, the number was introduced by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in March 2014.[54] Since 1 April 2020 the number is free to call.

The operator is obtained via 100 from landlines, while directory enquiries, formerly 192, is now provided in the 118xxx range, (not to be confused with 0118, the area code for Reading.) e.g. 118 212, 118 800, 118 500, 118 118, by different companies. International operator assistance is reached through 155.

From early 2010, the pan-European 116 number range came into use for social helplines. The first three numbers allocated were Missing People using 116 000 for a missing children helpline, the NSPCC ChildLine on 116 111, and Samaritans using 116 123 for an emotional support helpline.[citation needed] A recent[when?] consultation for the numbers 116 106 and 116 117 has yet to see any result.

The National Health Service (NHS) can be reached on 111 for non-emergency calls (from landlines and mobiles only). In other European countries, the number 116 117 is used for a similar purpose.

The NHS has also launched a COVID-19 helpline on 119 relating to swabbing so these calls do not go through the 111 call centre.

Local electricity network operators can be reached on 105 to report power cuts.[55]

Two telephone helplines within the regular code space have only eight digits, namely 0800 11 11 for ChildLine and 0845 4647 for NHS Direct in Wales.

The number 159 (‘Call 159’) has been introduced to give a standard number for calling banks, in an effort to reduce scams where people are tricked into calling someone pretending to be their bank.[56]

Speaking clock[edit]

Since the mid-1990s, speaking clock services have been available throughout Great Britain using the number 123. Before this, exchanges in «Director» areas (Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Manchester) dialled 846 (TIM), later changing to 123; main exchanges in «non-Director» areas originally used «952», later changing to «80» with the introduction of STD and eventually to «8081» as other recorded services were introduced on 80X1 codes. Some mobile operators allocate other services to 123, such as customer services or voicemail.

Automated services and access codes[edit]

Short codes beginning with 1 are reserved for telecom service providers’ own functionality; some of the most well-known are codes for use with Caller Display:

141 Withhold number when normally released
1470 Release number when normally withheld
1471 Last call information and return caller may press 3 to return call on most networks
1475 1471 erasure removes details of last call from 1471 service. May need to be prefixed with 1470 if number is normally withheld
1477 Automatic Call Trace Stores number (even if withheld) of nuisance caller at terminating exchange for subsequent investigation and enforcement,

but service is seldom enabled by default

1571 Voicemail service For people who do not have answering machines.
If there is a new message, the dial tone will be stuttered.
1572 BT Call Protect To divert nuisance calls to junk voicemail.
#31# Withhold number 141 equivalent for use on mobile networks

Many fixed line telephone subscribers, e.g. of BT,[57] Virgin Media,[58] SkyTalk, TalkTalk, and PlusNet, have the opportunity to use an automated messaging service which takes messages when the called number is either engaged («busy») or not answered within a given time. This can be accessed by calling 1571.

For fixed line users, it is possible to override the carrier pre-selection (CPS) on a per-call basis, dialling a special code before the number, e.g. 1280 for BT, 1664 for LowerCall, or 1844 for Daisy. Ofcom defines the range for these as: «124 to 140, 143 to 146, 148 to 149, 160 to 169, and 181 to 189 inclusive. Numbers of up to 5-digits used to access an Indirect Access Provider (‘Type B Access Codes’)».[59]

List of United Kingdom dialing codes

Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom are administered by the Office of Communications (Ofcom). For this purpose, Ofcom established a telephone numbering plan, known as the National Telephone Numbering Plan, which is the system for assigning telephone numbers to subscriber stations.

The numbers are of variable length. Local numbers are supported from land-lines or numbers can be dialled with a ‘0’-lead prefix that denotes either a geographical region or another service. Mobile phone numbers have their own prefixes which are not geographical and are completely portable between providers.

Structure[edit]

All mobile numbers, nearly all geographic numbers and nearly all non-geographic numbers have 10 national (significant) numbers after the «0» trunk code. The overall structure of the UK’s National Numbering Plan is:[1]

Prefix Service type
00 International
01 Geographic area codes
02 Geographic area codes (introduced in 2000).
03 Non-geographic numbers charged at standard geographic area code rates (introduced in 2007)
04 Not in use
05 Corporate numbering and VoIP services; toll-free services (0500) until June 2017
06 Not in use
07 Mobile telephony (071xx–075xx and 077xx–079xx), personal numbering (070xx), non-UK mobile networks (07624) and pagers (076xx)
08 Toll-free services (080x), special-rate services (084x and 087x)
09 Premium rate services

In the United Kingdom, area codes are two, three, four or, exceptionally, five digits long (after the initial zero). Regions with shorter area codes, typically large cities, permit the allocation of more telephone numbers as the local number portion has more digits. Local customer numbers are four to eight digits long. The total number of digits is ten or, very rarely, nine (not including the initial zero). The «area code» is also referred to as an «STD (code)» or a «dialling code» in the UK.[citation needed]

The code allocated to the largest population is (020) for London. The code allocated to the largest area is (028) for all of Northern Ireland. The UK Numbering Plan also applies to three British Crown dependencies – Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man – even though they are not part of the UK.

Number ranges starting 01 can have National Significant Number (NSN) length of 10 or (very rarely) 9 digits. NSN is the number of digits after the leading 0 trunk code or +44 international prefix. The 0800 range can have NSN length as 10, 9 or 7 digits. The 0845 range can have NSN length as 10 or 7 digits. The 0500 range had NSN length as 9 digits only, and was withdrawn from use on 3 June 2017. All other UK numbers have NSN length of 10 digits. There are no telephone numbers in the UK with an NSN length of 8 digits.

Geographic numbers[edit]

Standard geographic numbers[edit]

Geographic telephone numbers in the UK always have nine or ten digits after the 0 trunk code or +44 international dialling prefix.

Four-digit area codes[edit]

Four-digit area codes have either six-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of five- and six-digit subscriber numbers.

  • (01xxx) xxx xxx

This is the format used by most areas. It has a four-digit area code (after the initial zero) and a six digit subscriber number, and is known as 4+6 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. Just short of 581 areas use this format, and the area codes range from 01200 to 01998. Almost all (01xxx) area codes now have only six digit subscriber numbers, but a small number of these areas also have some subscriber numbers only five digits in length (see next section).

01224 Aberdeen 22 = AB
01244 Chester 24 = CH
01382 Dundee 38 = DU
01387 Dumfries (mixed) 38 = DU local numbers cannot begin with 3
01452 Gloucester 45 = GL
01472 Grimsby 47 = GR
01473 Ipswich 47 = IP
01429 Hartlepool 42 = HA
01482 Hull 48 = HU
01539 Kendal (mixed) 53 = KE local numbers cannot begin with 4, 5 or 6
01582 Luton 58 = LU
01642 Teesside or Middlesbrough 64 = MI
01670 Morpeth 67 = MP
01697 Brampton, North West (mixed) 69 = NW local numbers cannot begin with 3, 4 or 7
01733 Peterborough 73 = PE
01736 Penzance 73 = PE
01772 Preston 77 = PR
01792 Swansea 79 = SW
01793 Swindon 79 = SW
01854 Ullapool 85 = UL
01947 Whitby 94 = WH

Six of the four-digit area codes are known as «mixed» areas as they share those four digits with the twelve five-digit area codes. This leads to a restriction as to which initial digits can be used for subscriber numbers within those four-digit area codes, e.g. in the 01387 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 3 because 013873 is a separate five-digit area code; likewise in the 01946 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 7 because 019467 is a separate five-digit area code.

  • (01xxx) xx xxx

This is used for forty smaller towns which have a mixture of six and five digit local numbers, each type allocated in specific DE blocks*; e.g. in the 01647 area code numbers beginning 24 and 61 have five digits (24xxx and 61xxx; known as 4+5 format) whereas all other DE blocks* within that area code have six digit numbers. The number of places with five digit subscriber numbers and an 01xxx area code has declined rapidly in recent decades. There were 511 ranges allocated across 56 different area codes in January 1998. The Big Number Change removed many, especially in Northern Ireland, and by July 2005 there were only 329 ranges in 42 codes. By April 2010 this had reduced to 324 ranges in 40 codes, with still the same number in November 2012. The 40 area codes are listed in the table below.

*A DE block is a block of numbers where (taking the area code and the subscriber number together) the initial 0 and the next six digits after it are the same for all the subscriber numbers in the block.

(These area codes, like many others, were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.)

Three-digit area codes[edit]

Three-digit area codes always have seven-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 011x or 01×1.

  • (01×1) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the first round of five large cities moved to all figure dialling in the 1960s, and subsequently also used in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham and south-eastern Northumberland from the 1980s onwards. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 1×1 (after the initial zero) and a seven digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0121 Birmingham formerly 021 (2 = B)
0131 Edinburgh formerly 031 (3 = E)
0141 Glasgow formerly 041 (4 = G)
0151 Liverpool formerly 051 (5 = L)
0161 Manchester formerly 061 (6 = M)
0171 Used for Inner London from 1990 until 2000
0181 Used for Outer London from 1990 until 2000
0191 County of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham,
south-eastern Northumberland
formerly 091 (9 = tYne)
  • (011x) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the second round of large cities and towns moved to brand-new three-digit area codes. Five of these were moved in 1995 as a part of PhONEday, with Reading then following a year later. At the time of the change, an extra digit was added to the subscriber number. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 11x, with a seven-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. The first three digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. The former Reading area code had already been changed once, by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0113 Leeds formerly 0532 (53 = LE)
0114 Sheffield formerly 0742 (74 = SH)
0115 Nottingham formerly 0602 (60 = NO)
0116 Leicester formerly 0533 (53 = LE)
0117 Bristol formerly 0272 (27 = BR)
0118 Reading formerly 0734, then 01734 (73 = RE)

Two-digit area codes[edit]

Two-digit area codes always have eight-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 02.

  • (02x) xxxx xxxx

This is the newest geographic number format. It is used for the third tier of large cities and for Northern Ireland, and was formed as a part of the Big Number Change in 2000. The new area code is much shorter than the old one, and begins 02 unlike the previous 01 area codes. Numbers in these five areas are commonly misquoted, e.g. London as 0207 or Cardiff as 02920. The numbers consist of a two-digit area code matching the pattern 02x, and an eight-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 2+8 format.

The first four digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. At the time of the change, the subscriber part of the number gained an extra digit in London, those in Northern Ireland gained two or three digits, and the subscriber part of the number in the other areas gained two digits. All of these areas were also subject to a previous code change, one that added a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

Five-digit area codes[edit]

Five-digit area codes have either five-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of four- and five-digit subscriber numbers.
Five-digit area codes always share their first four digits with four-digit area codes.

  • (01xx xx) xx xxx and (01xx xx) xxxx

This is the oldest geographic number format and is used for twelve smaller towns and villages where the subscriber number is either five or (in one area code) four digits long. These are known as 5+5 and 5+4 format. Therefore, the STD code and the subscriber number does not always total ten digits after the initial zero trunk code. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. The number of places using these two formats has declined rapidly in recent decades and Brampton is the last place in the UK with four-digit local numbers.

0138 73 Langholm
0152 42 Hornby
0153 94 Hawkshead
0153 95 Grange-over-Sands
0153 96 Sedbergh
0169 73 Wigton
0169 74 Raughton Head
0169 77 Brampton[7][8]
0176 83 Appleby
0176 84 Pooley Bridge
0176 87 Keswick
0194 67 Gosforth

The above twelve area codes and their six ‘parent’ area codes (01387, 01524, 01539, 01697, 01768 and 01946) are known as ‘Mixed’ areas due to multiple area codes sharing the same SABC digits (i.e. the initial zero and the following four digits).

National dialling only ranges[edit]

These ranges have subscriber numbers beginning with the digits «0» or «1», e.g.:

0169 770 xxxx Brampton
01332 050 xxx Derby
01382 006 xxx Dundee
0141 005 xxxx Glasgow
0117 101 xxxx Bristol
0118 00x xxxx Reading
020 0003 xxxx London

Currently, these numbers are mostly used as the termination points for non-geographic numbers, and by some automated systems such as alarms. As such they are not usually meant to be directly dialled. Using these numbers directly has been problematic as some mobile phone operators in the UK do not allow access to these ranges,[9] and there may also be difficulty accessing these numbers from outside the UK.

Regulator Ofcom proposes that in future these ranges be released for wider, general-purpose use in up to 70 area codes facing number shortage[10] but then, in order to avoid confusion with codes beginning with these digits, the area code would always have to be dialled for all calls, even from within the same geographic exchange. Accordingly, if these numbers are eventually released for general use, Ofcom proposes completely removing the ability to dial locally without the area code in areas affected.

Requiring the use of the area code also allows additional local numbers starting with normally protected Special Services numbers (such as 999, 101, 111, 112 etc.) to be used, significantly increasing the quantity of numbers available for use. This occurred on 1 November 2012 for the 01202 area code, which covers the Bournemouth area.[11]

Recently, the carrier TalkTalk have inadvertently released parts of the 020 0011 range to the general public,[12] with these numbers currently being in use. For example, the charity Give a Car used the number 020 0011 1664 for a while, but recently switched to a proper London number.

Mobile telephones[edit]

  • 07xxx xxx xxx—mobile phones and WiFi numbers.

Individual mobile phone companies are allocated different ranges within the 073xx, 074xx, 075xx, 07624, 077xx, 078xx and 079xx area codes. Changes to mobile phone numbers in the Big Number Change were mostly straight replacements, such as Vodafone customers on the 0378 block became 07778.

071xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since January 2017)
073xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2014)
074xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2009)
075xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since May 2007)
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones on the Isle of Man
077xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 03xx and 04xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
078xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 05xx, 06xx and 08xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
079xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 09xx—mostly EE (formerly Orange and one2one))
07911 2xx xxx
07911 8xx xxx
Number range for data-only services (e.g. 3G/LTE-enabled tablet computers, portable modem routers, data devices, etc.)

Since the advent of Mobile number portability, mobile phone number prefixes can no longer be relied on to determine the current operator of a particular mobile phone – only the original operator.

Pagers and personal numbering[edit]

  • 07x xxxx xxxx—pagers and personal numbering (PNS).
070 xxxx xxxx Personal numbering
076 xxxx xxxx Pagers (excluding 07624, used for mobile phones on the Isle of Man)

Personal numbers beginning 070 are regulated by Phone-paid Services Authority.

Calls to 070 and 076 numbers are often charged at a much higher rate than the similar-looking 07xxx mobile telephone numbers and often they are not included in «inclusive minutes» in phone contracts.

From 1 October 2019, Ofcom has capped the termination or wholesale rate for calls to 070 numbers to be at the same level as for calls to mobile numbers. Ofcom «expect[s] this will allow phone companies to price calls to these numbers or include them in call allowances in the same way that they do for calls to mobile [number]s«.[13]

Non-geographic numbers[edit]

Non-geographic numbers charged at geographic rate[edit]

  • 03xx xxx xxxx—»UK-wide» numbering.

03xx is a range of non-geographic numbers introduced in 2007 as a cheaper alternative to the shared-cost non-geographic numbers (such as 0870 or 0845 numbers). In contrast to the 084x/087x range, calls to 03 numbers are considered local calls for billing purposes (i.e., like calls to a geographic number 01 or 02).[14] This means that customers who are benefiting from inclusive minutes on mobile phone or landline calling plans are also able to call these numbers using their inclusive minutes.[15]

There are three different ranges of numbers: those beginning 030x are reserved for qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations; those beginning 033x can be allocated to anyone; and those beginning 034x and 037x have been allocated for migration from the matching 084x and 087x number ranges respectively.[16]

030x xxx xxxx For qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations as defined by Ofcom
033x xxx xxxx For any end user
034x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 084x numbers
037x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 087x numbers

Corporate and VoIP numbering[edit]

  • 05x xxxx xxxx—Corporate and VoIP numbering.

Unlike 03 numbers there is no uniform pricing for 05 numbers; BT charge a number of different rates depending on the number dialled.[17] Some are charged at geographic rate, others not. Other operators are not required to charge the same rates as BT for calling 05 numbers.

055 xxxx xxxx Corporate Numbering (but also used by BT for its Broadband Voice service)
056 xxxx xxxx Allocated by Ofcom for LIECS (Location Independent Electronic Communications Services), e.g. VoIP services

Freephone numbers[edit]

  • 0500 xxx xxx—Freephone services allocated before 1999.

Until July 2017, the 0500 range was used for some freephone services which were originally provided by Mercury Communications Ltd (now Cable & Wireless Worldwide). These numbers were different from the rest of the 05 range in that they are only 9 digits in length after the 0 trunk code, e.g. 0500 007 007 (National Savings and Investments), 0500 2 88 2 91 (BBC Radio 2, 88 to 91 FM), 0500 600 600 (Crimewatch), 0500 600 700 (Watchdog[clarification needed]) and 0500 909 693 (BBC Radio 5 Live, 909 and 693 kHz). Numerous universities, government departments, airlines, banks and businesses also used these numbers. They were allocated before the general trend of using longer numbers started in 1997 and long before the rest of the 05 range was assigned to corporate and VoIP numbering after 2000.

0500 xxx xxx[notes 2] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, up to 40p per minute from mobile.

The range was withdrawn by Ofcom in July 2017[18] as a result of a series of consultations starting from 2012.[19] The number range
08085 xxx xxx was made available to owners of 0500 xxx xxx to enable a smooth transition.

  • 0800 xxx xxx, 0800 xxx xxxx and 0808 xxx xxxx—Freephone services.
0800 xxx xxx[notes 3] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, and was up to 40p per minute from mobile, until July 2015 when calls to 080 numbers from mobiles became free. Calls to certain charity and similar services were always free from most mobiles.
0808 9xx xxxx numbers are used by freephone internet services.
0800 xxx xxxx
0808 xxx xxxx

There is one short «special» number in this range, 0800 11 11 for Childline.

Additionally, numbers in the range 0808 80x xxxx are reserved for not-for-profit helplines and as such are usually free to call from most mobile telephones. A number of other numbers can also be called for free from mobiles,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] but this varies by network.

Fixed-rate or special-rate services[edit]

  • 084x xxx xxxx (Special Services basic rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services
  • 087x xxx xxxx (Special Services higher rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services.

With the exception of 080x freephone numbers, 08xx numbers are charged above geographic rates, with some of the extra revenue going to the terminating telco. This additional revenue may be shared with the subscriber, but is often used instead to subsidise additional network services, such as fax-to-email, virtual office applications, call queuing, voicemail and easy number redirection. None of these call management services is exclusive to 08xx numbers and they could be provided on any number range.

Special Services basic rate range:

0845 xxx xxxx Up to 5p a minute, varies daytime/evening/weekend, from BT landline, other providers may charge more; up to 42p a minute from mobiles.

There were a few short «special» number in this range, such as 0845 46 47 for NHS Direct; this was closed in 2014 and replaced by NHS 111, except in Wales where the transition took place in 2015.

The usage of 0871, 0872 and 0873 numbers is regulated by PhonepayPlus.[28]

There was widespread confusion about the cost of calling 084 and 087 numbers until 2015. They often do not qualify for discounts and bundled minutes, and can be prohibitively expensive when called from mobiles and payphones. Many major companies persist in misdescribing them as «Local Rate», «Lo Call» (often as ‘locall rate’ which can be easily misread as ‘local rate’) or «National Rate» for which the Advertising Standards Authority can take action.[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]
[40][41][42]

Access charge and service charge[edit]

From 1 July 2015, the charge for calls to 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers has been simplified. It is split into two parts: An access charge, payable to the telephone service provider – e.g. BT, EE, Sky – plus a service charge paid to the company offering the service.

Companies with 084, 087, and 09 numbers must declare the service charge element of the call cost when advertising their phone number; for example, a number may be advertised saying «Calls cost 20p per minute plus your phone company’s access charge».[43] Telecoms companies must inform their customers about their access charge for calling each number range. The EU Consumer Rights Directive requires that many entities that held 084 and 087 numbers will no longer be allowed to use them. The directive bans the usage of numbers that cost more than calling a geographic number for customer service and complaints lines, and other such purposes.[44][45] Since Britain left the EU the Directive as such no longer applies, but its provisions may have been incorporated into British law.[needs update]

Other 08xx number ranges[edit]

  • 08xx xxx xxxx—Internet for schools and Inbound routing codes.
0820 xxx xxxx Special Services: Internet for schools
0899 9xx xxxx Inbound routing codes

Premium rate content services (PRS and SES)[edit]

  • 09xx xxx xxxx—Premium Rate Content Services

Numbers in the 09xx range are charged at the highest rates of any calls within the United Kingdom, and are controlled by various regulations regarding their use. The regulator is the Phone-paid Services Authority, formerly PhonepayPlus.[28] There are a large number of charge bands, some with high pence-per-minute rates, others with a high fixed-price for the entire call.

090x xxx xxxx Premium rate content services (PRS)
0908 xxx xxxx
0909 xxx xxxx
Sexual entertainment services (SES) (not available for new allocations)
091x xxx xxxx Premium rate non-content services (PRS)
098x xxx xxxx Sexual entertainment services (SES)

The earlier unused 092x xxx xxxx – 099x xxx xxxx allocation for «Broadband Internet Services» no longer exists and was removed from the number plan in 2005.

Crown dependencies[edit]

Although calls from UK landlines to landlines in the islands are charged at the same rate as those to other UK landlines (i.e. they are not treated as international calls), calls may be excluded from calling plans offering unlimited UK fixed line calls.

Mobile operators may also charge more for calls to the islands and these calls are usually excluded from calling plans. Calls and SMS messages sent to island mobile phone numbers are not charged at the same rate as calls to UK mobile phone numbers.

Guernsey[edit]

This area code is used for the Bailiwick of Guernsey, i.e. including Alderney and Sark.

(01481) xxx xxx Fixed line 48 = GU
(01481) 822 xxx Fixed line (Alderney)
(01481) 823 xxx
(01481) 824 xxx
(01481) 832 xxx Fixed line (Sark)

07781 xxx xxx Sure mobile phones and pagers
07839 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile phones
07911 xxx xxx Wave Telecom mobile phones, not for UK

Jersey[edit]

(01534) xxx xxx Fixed line 53 = JE
07509 xxx xxx Jersey Telecom mobile phones and pagers
07797 xxx xxx
07937 xxx xxx
07700 xxx xxx Sure mobile network
07829 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile network

Several Jersey companies also have non-geographic numbers allocated.[46]

Isle of Man[edit]

(01624) xxx xxx Fixed line 62 = MA
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones and paging services
07524 xxx xxx Mobile phones additional capacity
07924 xxx xxx

On the Isle of Man, both fixed (01624) and mobile phone (07624) numbers can be dialled locally in the six-digit format.

Fictitious numbers[edit]

Ofcom has also reserved certain number ranges for use in television dramas and films, so as to avoid the risk of people having their telephone numbers displayed and receiving unwanted calls. This is similar to the use of fictitious telephone numbers in the United States and Canada starting with the digits 555.

In most of the large cities with three-digit area codes, a range of numbers is reserved, usually all the numbers starting with the digits 496. For fictitious numbers in other areas, the area code 01632 is reserved; this code is not in use, although 0632 was used for Newcastle upon Tyne until the late 1980s (63 = NE) and briefly reallocated for use by premium rate services in the 1990s. There are also reserved ranges for fictitious mobile, freephone and premium rate numbers.[47][48]

The Post Office even produced dial centre labels for use in advertisements and film/TV with a mythical exchange called VINcent plus four digits. The numerical equivalent of VIN was 846 and all the caller got was the speaking clock (i.e. 846 is also numerical equivalent of TIM) in the big city «Director» areas.[49]

At around the same time as the other Big Number Change changes, Ofcom revised their recommendations to update the prefixes, add additional areas and increase the size of the allocation from 10 to 1,000 numbers per block. Those changes are listed in the Big Number Change article.

In Coronation Street, the fictional Manchester suburb of Weatherfield uses the unallocated range (0161) 715 xxxx.[50]

Special service numbers[edit]

Emergency services and helplines[edit]

The UK has two free emergency numbers: the traditional 999, which is still widely used, and the EU standard 112. Both 999 and 112 are used to contact all emergency services: Police, Fire Service, Ambulance Service and Coastguard. (Standard advice for Mountain Rescue or Cave Rescue is to ask the emergency operator for the police, who oversee the communication with these two services.[51][52][53])

Both numbers can be called from mobile phones with the keylock on or without entering the PIN where that would otherwise be required. Although some mobile phones allow emergency calls to be attempted without a SIM card, at present the UK networks reject such calls. Since November 2009, an emergency call can be made through any UK mobile network as long as there is a SIM for any valid UK network in the handset. Although UK VOIP phone providers are required to offer 999 / 112 service, this is subject to a registration for the service and with a verified service address and users need to be aware such service may not work in a power blackout; however, International VOIP providers may not provide this service.

The chargeable number 101 was introduced for non-urgent crime and community safety calls on a trial basis in 2006. In Wales, the scheme was taken forward by all four police forces, who adopted the number for non-emergency calls on a permanent basis in early 2009. In England, the scheme was on trial until 2012, when it was adopted nationwide and the cost to call changed from 10p per call to 15p per call. In Northern Ireland, the number was introduced by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in March 2014.[54] Since 1 April 2020 the number is free to call.

The operator is obtained via 100 from landlines, while directory enquiries, formerly 192, is now provided in the 118xxx range, (not to be confused with 0118, the area code for Reading.) e.g. 118 212, 118 800, 118 500, 118 118, by different companies. International operator assistance is reached through 155.

From early 2010, the pan-European 116 number range came into use for social helplines. The first three numbers allocated were Missing People using 116 000 for a missing children helpline, the NSPCC ChildLine on 116 111, and Samaritans using 116 123 for an emotional support helpline.[citation needed] A recent[when?] consultation for the numbers 116 106 and 116 117 has yet to see any result.

The National Health Service (NHS) can be reached on 111 for non-emergency calls (from landlines and mobiles only). In other European countries, the number 116 117 is used for a similar purpose.

The NHS has also launched a COVID-19 helpline on 119 relating to swabbing so these calls do not go through the 111 call centre.

Local electricity network operators can be reached on 105 to report power cuts.[55]

Two telephone helplines within the regular code space have only eight digits, namely 0800 11 11 for ChildLine and 0845 4647 for NHS Direct in Wales.

The number 159 (‘Call 159’) has been introduced to give a standard number for calling banks, in an effort to reduce scams where people are tricked into calling someone pretending to be their bank.[56]

Speaking clock[edit]

Since the mid-1990s, speaking clock services have been available throughout Great Britain using the number 123. Before this, exchanges in «Director» areas (Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Manchester) dialled 846 (TIM), later changing to 123; main exchanges in «non-Director» areas originally used «952», later changing to «80» with the introduction of STD and eventually to «8081» as other recorded services were introduced on 80X1 codes. Some mobile operators allocate other services to 123, such as customer services or voicemail.

Automated services and access codes[edit]

Short codes beginning with 1 are reserved for telecom service providers’ own functionality; some of the most well-known are codes for use with Caller Display:

141 Withhold number when normally released
1470 Release number when normally withheld
1471 Last call information and return caller may press 3 to return call on most networks
1475 1471 erasure removes details of last call from 1471 service. May need to be prefixed with 1470 if number is normally withheld
1477 Automatic Call Trace Stores number (even if withheld) of nuisance caller at terminating exchange for subsequent investigation and enforcement,

but service is seldom enabled by default

1571 Voicemail service For people who do not have answering machines.
If there is a new message, the dial tone will be stuttered.
1572 BT Call Protect To divert nuisance calls to junk voicemail.
#31# Withhold number 141 equivalent for use on mobile networks

Many fixed line telephone subscribers, e.g. of BT,[57] Virgin Media,[58] SkyTalk, TalkTalk, and PlusNet, have the opportunity to use an automated messaging service which takes messages when the called number is either engaged («busy») or not answered within a given time. This can be accessed by calling 1571.

For fixed line users, it is possible to override the carrier pre-selection (CPS) on a per-call basis, dialling a special code before the number, e.g. 1280 for BT, 1664 for LowerCall, or 1844 for Daisy. Ofcom defines the range for these as: «124 to 140, 143 to 146, 148 to 149, 160 to 169, and 181 to 189 inclusive. Numbers of up to 5-digits used to access an Indirect Access Provider (‘Type B Access Codes’)».[59]

Красная телефонная будка – один из символов Англии

Во время пребывания в Англии можно найти дешевые и удобные способы связи с семьей и друзьями. Существует несколько способов сэкономить деньги при вызове международных номеров из Англии, и мы собрали лучшие из них.

  • Skype

Если у вас есть ноутбук, планшет или смартфон, то Skype является лучшим вариантом. Этот сервис позволяет совершать бесплатные звонки через интернет. Если вы подключаетесь к интернету через Wi-Fi, то сотовый оператор не взимает плату за трафик. Вы также можете звонить с помощью Skype на городские и мобильные номера за отдельную плату.

  • Английская сим-карта

Привозя с собой мобильный телефон, самым выгодным выходом будет приобретение сим-карты местного оператора, у каждого из них существуют пакеты для совершения более дешевых международных звонков. Такие сотовые операторы как Lebara и Lycamobile имеют самые низкие тарифы для звонков в Россию: на мобильный – 9p за минуту (4.5 руб/мин), на городской – 5p (2,5 руб/мин), sms – 12p (6 руб). Эти сим-карты можно приобрести практически в каждом магазине и на некоторых станциях метро. Сама симка стоит в пределах £5 (250 руб.).

  • Международная телефонная карта

Также пользуются популярностью международные телефонные карты, которые включают в себя определенное количество минут. Они очень легки в обращении: введите номер доступа (access number) и PIN-код, которые напечатаны на карте, затем набираете номер нужного телефона со всеми кодами. Компании O2, Tesco и Post Office предлагают наиболее выгодные тарифы. Такие карты можно приобрести в магазинах, салонах сотовой связи и в почтовых отделениях.

  • Международная туристическая сим-карта

Планируя поездку в Англию, можно приобрести туристическую сим-карту, находясь дома. Это позволит сэкономить на звонках и сообщениях тем, кто любит поболтать по телефону.

  • Телефонный автомат

Красные телефонные будки являются не только популярным символом страны, но и полноценными аппаратами для совершения звонков. Они расположены повсеместно, а оплатить их можно с помощью наличных, пластиковой карты и телефонной карты, которую можно купить во многих магазинных.

  • Роуминг

Большинство операторов предлагают услугу роуминга, специальные тарифы или бонусные акции. Подробнее о тарифах в роуминге можно узнать в офисах или на официальных сайтах.

Позвонить в Англию довольно просто, если знать код выхода своей страны на международную линию и код Англии (44 — код Великобритании). Также необходимо знать код города или код оператора связи. Если выяснить эту информацию, звонить в Англию можно из любой страны мира. Но не забывайте о разнице во времени и различных способах сделать звонок.

  1. Изображение с названием Call England Step 1

    1

    Наберите код выхода своей страны на международную линию. Он укажет оператору связи, что вы хотите сделать международный звонок. Код выхода зависит от страны — его можно найти в интернете или непосредственно у оператора связи. [1]

    • Код выхода на международную линию в России — 8-10 (нажмите 8, дождитесь гудка и нажмите 10).
    • В большинстве европейских стран, Китае, Новой Зеландии, многих стран Африки и Южной Америки используется код выхода 00.
    • 011 — это код выхода в США, Канаде и других странах Северной Америки, 0011 — в Австралии, 010 — в Японии.
    • Возможно, вам придется набрать дополнительные цифры, которые зависят от оператора связи. Такие цифры набираются после кода выхода. Например, в Бразилии есть коды выхода 0015 или 0021. Правильный код узнайте у своего оператора связи.
  2. Изображение с названием Call England Step 2

    2

    Наберите код Великобритании 44. В этом случае ваш звонок будет перенаправлен в выбранную страну. Код Великобритании (44) распространяется на Англию, Северную Ирландию, Шотландию и Уэльс.[2]

    • У каждой страны свой уникальный телефонный код. Убедитесь, что набрали 44 — в противном случае вы позвоните в другую страну.
    • Например, если вы звоните из России, наберите 8-10-44-xxxx-xxxxxx.
  3. Изображение с названием Call England Step 3

    Пропустите 0, если он указан в номере телефона. Если звонить из Англии, нужно использовать код выхода на городскую АТС или междугородный код. Код выхода на городскую АТС в Англии — 0, поэтому ноль набирать не нужно, если вы звоните в Англию из другой страны.[3]

    • Если вам дали номер телефона, который начинается с 0, проигнорируйте ноль.
  4. Изображение с названием Call England Step 4

    Наберите код города, если звоните на стационарный телефон. Города в Англии имеют уникальные телефонные коды, которые состоят из 2–5 цифр. Как правило, код больших городов включает меньше цифр. Если вы не знаете код города, поищите его в интернете.[4]

    • Список городов Великобритании с их телефонными кодами можно найти здесь.[5]
    • Например, код Лондона — 20.
    • Код Ливерпуля — 151.
    • Код Манчестера — 161.

    Наберите правильный мобильный код, если звоните на мобильный телефон. В Англии у сотовых операторов свои коды, которые не совпадают с телефонными кодами городов. Мобильный код зависит от оператора сотовой связи и региона проживания человека, которому вы звоните.[6]

    • Мобильный код выясните у человека, которому хотите позвонить. Другого способа узнать правильный мобильный код нет.
    • Все мобильные коды начинаются с цифры 7 и включают еще 3 цифры.
    • Например, номер мобильного телефона может начинаться так: 44-7xxx-xxxxxx
  6. Изображение с названием Call England Step 6

    Наберите оставшуюся часть номера абонента. Это личный номер телефона человека. Если вы звоните на стационарный телефон, нужно набрать еще 5–7 цифр, а если на мобильный — оставшиеся 4 цифры.[7]

    • Телефонные номера в небольших городах Англии включают всего 5 цифр из-за длинных кодов города. Но большинство телефонных номеров в Англии состоят из 10 цифр (это без учета кода города).
    • Все мобильные номера включают 10 цифр (с учетом мобильного кода).
    • Например, если нужно позвонить из России на стационарный телефон в Лондоне, наберите 8-10-44-20-xxxx-xxxx.
    • Чтобы позвонить из России на стационарный телефон в Оксфорде, наберите 8-10-44-1865-xxxxxx.
    • Чтобы позвонить на номер мобильного телефона, наберите что-то типа 8-10-44-74xx-xxxxxx.

    Не забудьте по разницу во времени. В Англии всемирное (Гринвичское) время (UTC+0). Например, разница во времени между Москвой и Лондоном составляет 3 часа (UTC+3). Также имейте в виду, что в Англии с весны до осени действует летнее время.[8]

    • В период летнего времени (Британское летнее время) разница во времени между Москвой и Лондоном уменьшается до 2 часов. Британское летнее время начинается в конце марта и заканчивается в конце октября.[9]
    • Прелесть в том, что Великобритания находится в одном часовом поясе. Поэтому в любой точке страны всегда одно и то же время.

    Купите международную телефонную карту, чтобы сэкономить деньги на звонках. Такую карту можно купить в обычных или в онлайн магазинах. Вы покупаете карту и получаете ограниченное количество минут разговора по телефону. Следуйте инструкциям на карте, чтобы использовать ее.[10]

    • Перед тем как купить карту, почитайте информацию, представленную мелким шрифтом. Убедитесь, что с помощью карты можно позвонить в Англию (Великобританию). Также обратите внимание на любые скрытые платежи, которые могут увеличить стоимость звонка.

    Воспользуйтесь VoIP-сервисом, чтобы бесплатно звонить на мобильные телефоны и другие устройства. VoIP (или IP-телефония) — это голосовая связь по интернету. Такие программы, как Skype и FaceTime используют подключение к интернету, поэтому сначала подключитесь к бесплатной (публичной) беспроводной сети, а затем наберите номер телефона.[11]

    • VoIP-сервис представляет собой мобильные приложения или компьютерные программы.
    • Бесплатные звонки через IP-телефонию можно делать только в том случае, если подключиться к интернету (беспроводной сети). Если у человека, которому вы звоните, есть VoIP-приложение и он или она подключены к интернету, с этим человеком можно общаться без каких-либо дополнительных затрат.

    Купите минуты в VoIP-приложении, чтобы сэкономить деньги при звонках на стационарные телефоны. IP-телефония не позволяет бесплатно звонить на стационарные телефоны. Поэтому воспользуйтесь меню программы, чтобы заплатить за минуты разговора. Как правило, такие минуты стоят дешевле, чем у оператора связи; более того, можно платить по мере необходимости, чтобы предотвратить перерасход.

    • Еще один способ звонить на стационарные телефоны — это найти оператора связи, который предлагает недорогие тарифные планы IP-телефонии.

    Используйте программу для видеочата, чтобы звонить бесплатно. В этом случае вам и вашему собеседнику необходимо установить такую программу на свои телефоны, компьютеры или планшеты. Запустите приложение и найдите в нем своего собеседника. Убедитесь, что вы и ваш собеседник подключены к интернету, а затем нажмите кнопку вызова, чтобы начать чат.[12]

    • Вот несколько программ с функцией бесплатного видеочата: Skype, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger и WhatsApp.

Советы

  • Прежде чем сделать международный телефонный звонок, перейдите на тарифный план с дешевыми звонками в другие страны или воспользуйтесь бесплатной альтернативой.
  • Следите за расходами на телефонную связь. Помните, что международные звонки могут быть дорогими.
  • Чтобы правильно набрать номер, спросите его у человека (которому хотите позвонить) или найдите в интернете.
  • Звонить на мобильные телефоны в Англии не так просто, потому что у каждого оператора сотовой связи свои мобильные коды. Возможно, вам удастся найти мобильные коды в интернете.
  • В зависимости от того, где вы живете, вам, возможно, придется набрать дополнительный код оператора связи (после того, как вы набрали код выхода на международную линию).

List of United Kingdom dialing codes

Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom are administered by the Office of Communications (Ofcom). For this purpose, Ofcom established a telephone numbering plan, known as the National Telephone Numbering Plan, which is the system for assigning telephone numbers to subscriber stations.

The numbers are of variable length. Local numbers are supported from land-lines or numbers can be dialled with a ‘0’-lead prefix that denotes either a geographical region or another service. Mobile phone numbers have their own prefixes which are not geographical and are completely portable between providers.

Structure[edit]

All mobile numbers, nearly all geographic numbers and nearly all non-geographic numbers have 10 national (significant) numbers after the «0» trunk code. The overall structure of the UK’s National Numbering Plan is:[1]

Prefix Service type
00 International
01 Geographic area codes
02 Geographic area codes (introduced in 2000).
03 Non-geographic numbers charged at standard geographic area code rates (introduced in 2007)
04 Not in use
05 Corporate numbering and VoIP services; toll-free services (0500) until June 2017
06 Not in use
07 Mobile telephony (071xx–075xx and 077xx–079xx), personal numbering (070xx), non-UK mobile networks (07624) and pagers (076xx)
08 Toll-free services (080x), special-rate services (084x and 087x)
09 Premium rate services

A short sample of geographic numbers, set out in the officially approved (Ofcom) number groups:[2]

(01204) xx xxxx Bolton
(015396) xx xxx Sedbergh
(016977) xxxx or xxxxx Brampton
(016064) xxxx or xxxxx Hartford

In the United Kingdom, area codes are two, three, four or, exceptionally, five digits long (after the initial zero). Regions with shorter area codes, typically large cities, permit the allocation of more telephone numbers as the local number portion has more digits. Local customer numbers are four to eight digits long. The total number of digits is ten or, very rarely, nine (not including the initial zero). The «area code» is also referred to as an «STD (code)» or a «dialling code» in the UK.[citation needed]

The code allocated to the largest population is (020) for London. The code allocated to the largest area is (028) for all of Northern Ireland. The UK Numbering Plan also applies to three British Crown dependencies – Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man – even though they are not part of the UK.

Possible number formats for UK telephone numbers are:

Number ranges starting 01 can have National Significant Number (NSN) length of 10 or (very rarely) 9 digits. NSN is the number of digits after the leading 0 trunk code or +44 international prefix. The 0800 range can have NSN length as 10, 9 or 7 digits. The 0845 range can have NSN length as 10 or 7 digits. The 0500 range had NSN length as 9 digits only, and was withdrawn from use on 3 June 2017. All other UK numbers have NSN length of 10 digits. There are no telephone numbers in the UK with an NSN length of 8 digits.

Geographic numbers[edit]

Standard geographic numbers[edit]

Geographic telephone numbers in the UK always have nine or ten digits after the 0 trunk code or +44 international dialling prefix.

Four-digit area codes[edit]

Four-digit area codes have either six-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of five- and six-digit subscriber numbers.

  • (01xxx) xxx xxx

This is the format used by most areas. It has a four-digit area code (after the initial zero) and a six digit subscriber number, and is known as 4+6 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. Just short of 581 areas use this format, and the area codes range from 01200 to 01998. Almost all (01xxx) area codes now have only six digit subscriber numbers, but a small number of these areas also have some subscriber numbers only five digits in length (see next section).

01244 Chester 24 = CH
01382 Dundee 38 = DU

01642 Teesside or Middlesbrough 64 = MI
01670 Morpeth 67 = MP
01697 Brampton, North West (mixed) 69 = NW local numbers cannot begin with 3, 4 or 7
01733 Peterborough 73 = PE
01736 Penzance 73 = PE

01792 Swansea 79 = SW
01793 Swindon 79 = SW
01854 Ullapool 85 = UL
01947 Whitby 94 = WH

Six of the four-digit area codes are known as «mixed» areas as they share those four digits with the twelve five-digit area codes. This leads to a restriction as to which initial digits can be used for subscriber numbers within those four-digit area codes, e.g. in the 01387 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 3 because 013873 is a separate five-digit area code; likewise in the 01946 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 7 because 019467 is a separate five-digit area code.

  • (01xxx) xx xxx

This is used for forty smaller towns which have a mixture of six and five digit local numbers, each type allocated in specific DE blocks*; e.g. in the 01647 area code numbers beginning 24 and 61 have five digits (24xxx and 61xxx; known as 4+5 format) whereas all other DE blocks* within that area code have six digit numbers. The number of places with five digit subscriber numbers and an 01xxx area code has declined rapidly in recent decades. There were 511 ranges allocated across 56 different area codes in January 1998. The Big Number Change removed many, especially in Northern Ireland, and by July 2005 there were only 329 ranges in 42 codes. By April 2010 this had reduced to 324 ranges in 40 codes, with still the same number in November 2012. The 40 area codes are listed in the table below.

*A DE block is a block of numbers where (taking the area code and the subscriber number together) the initial 0 and the next six digits after it are the same for all the subscriber numbers in the block.

(These area codes, like many others, were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.)

Three-digit area codes[edit]

Three-digit area codes always have seven-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 011x or 01×1.

  • (01×1) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the first round of five large cities moved to all figure dialling in the 1960s, and subsequently also used in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham and south-eastern Northumberland from the 1980s onwards. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 1×1 (after the initial zero) and a seven digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0121 Birmingham formerly 021 (2 = B)
0131 Edinburgh formerly 031 (3 = E)
0141 Glasgow formerly 041 (4 = G)

formerly 091 (9 = tYne)
  • (011x) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the second round of large cities and towns moved to brand-new three-digit area codes. Five of these were moved in 1995 as a part of PhONEday, with Reading then following a year later. At the time of the change, an extra digit was added to the subscriber number. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 11x, with a seven-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. The first three digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. The former Reading area code had already been changed once, by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0113 Leeds formerly 0532 (53 = LE)
0114 Sheffield formerly 0742 (74 = SH)

0117 Bristol formerly 0272 (27 = BR)
0118 Reading formerly 0734, then 01734 (73 = RE)

Two-digit area codes[edit]

Two-digit area codes always have eight-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 02.

  • (02x) xxxx xxxx

This is the newest geographic number format. It is used for the third tier of large cities and for Northern Ireland, and was formed as a part of the Big Number Change in 2000. The new area code is much shorter than the old one, and begins 02 unlike the previous 01 area codes. Numbers in these five areas are commonly misquoted, e.g. London as 0207 or Cardiff as 02920. The numbers consist of a two-digit area code matching the pattern 02x, and an eight-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 2+8 format.

The first four digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. At the time of the change, the subscriber part of the number gained an extra digit in London, those in Northern Ireland gained two or three digits, and the subscriber part of the number in the other areas gained two digits. All of these areas were also subject to a previous code change, one that added a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

Five-digit area codes[edit]

Five-digit area codes have either five-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of four- and five-digit subscriber numbers.
Five-digit area codes always share their first four digits with four-digit area codes.

  • (01xx xx) xx xxx and (01xx xx) xxxx

This is the oldest geographic number format and is used for twelve smaller towns and villages where the subscriber number is either five or (in one area code) four digits long. These are known as 5+5 and 5+4 format. Therefore, the STD code and the subscriber number does not always total ten digits after the initial zero trunk code. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. The number of places using these two formats has declined rapidly in recent decades and Brampton is the last place in the UK with four-digit local numbers.

0138 73 Langholm
0152 42 Hornby
0153 94 Hawkshead
0153 95 Grange-over-Sands
0153 96 Sedbergh
0169 73 Wigton
0169 74 Raughton Head
0169 77 Brampton[7][8]
0176 83 Appleby
0176 84 Pooley Bridge
0176 87 Keswick
0194 67 Gosforth

The above twelve area codes and their six ‘parent’ area codes (01387, 01524, 01539, 01697, 01768 and 01946) are known as ‘Mixed’ areas due to multiple area codes sharing the same SABC digits (i.e. the initial zero and the following four digits).

National dialling only ranges[edit]

These ranges have subscriber numbers beginning with the digits «0» or «1», e.g.:

0169 770 xxxx Brampton
01332 050 xxx Derby
01382 006 xxx Dundee
0141 005 xxxx Glasgow
0117 101 xxxx Bristol
0118 00x xxxx Reading
020 0003 xxxx London

Currently, these numbers are mostly used as the termination points for non-geographic numbers, and by some automated systems such as alarms. As such they are not usually meant to be directly dialled. Using these numbers directly has been problematic as some mobile phone operators in the UK do not allow access to these ranges,[9] and there may also be difficulty accessing these numbers from outside the UK.

Regulator Ofcom proposes that in future these ranges be released for wider, general-purpose use in up to 70 area codes facing number shortage[10] but then, in order to avoid confusion with codes beginning with these digits, the area code would always have to be dialled for all calls, even from within the same geographic exchange. Accordingly, if these numbers are eventually released for general use, Ofcom proposes completely removing the ability to dial locally without the area code in areas affected.

Requiring the use of the area code also allows additional local numbers starting with normally protected Special Services numbers (such as 999, 101, 111, 112 etc.) to be used, significantly increasing the quantity of numbers available for use. This occurred on 1 November 2012 for the 01202 area code, which covers the Bournemouth area.[11]

Recently, the carrier TalkTalk have inadvertently released parts of the 020 0011 range to the general public,[12] with these numbers currently being in use. For example, the charity Give a Car used the number 020 0011 1664 for a while, but recently switched to a proper London number.

Mobile telephones[edit]

  • 07xxx xxx xxx—mobile phones and WiFi numbers.

Individual mobile phone companies are allocated different ranges within the 073xx, 074xx, 075xx, 07624, 077xx, 078xx and 079xx area codes. Changes to mobile phone numbers in the Big Number Change were mostly straight replacements, such as Vodafone customers on the 0378 block became 07778.

071xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since January 2017)
073xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2014)
074xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2009)
075xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since May 2007)
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones on the Isle of Man
077xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 03xx and 04xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
078xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 05xx, 06xx and 08xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
079xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 09xx—mostly EE (formerly Orange and one2one))
07911 2xx xxx
07911 8xx xxx
Number range for data-only services (e.g. 3G/LTE-enabled tablet computers, portable modem routers, data devices, etc.)

Since the advent of Mobile number portability, mobile phone number prefixes can no longer be relied on to determine the current operator of a particular mobile phone – only the original operator.

Pagers and personal numbering[edit]

  • 07x xxxx xxxx—pagers and personal numbering (PNS).
070 xxxx xxxx Personal numbering
076 xxxx xxxx Pagers (excluding 07624, used for mobile phones on the Isle of Man)

Personal numbers beginning 070 are regulated by Phone-paid Services Authority.

Calls to 070 and 076 numbers are often charged at a much higher rate than the similar-looking 07xxx mobile telephone numbers and often they are not included in «inclusive minutes» in phone contracts.

From 1 October 2019, Ofcom has capped the termination or wholesale rate for calls to 070 numbers to be at the same level as for calls to mobile numbers. Ofcom «expect[s] this will allow phone companies to price calls to these numbers or include them in call allowances in the same way that they do for calls to mobile [number]s«.[13]

Non-geographic numbers[edit]

Non-geographic numbers charged at geographic rate[edit]

  • 03xx xxx xxxx—»UK-wide» numbering.

03xx is a range of non-geographic numbers introduced in 2007 as a cheaper alternative to the shared-cost non-geographic numbers (such as 0870 or 0845 numbers). In contrast to the 084x/087x range, calls to 03 numbers are considered local calls for billing purposes (i.e., like calls to a geographic number 01 or 02).[14] This means that customers who are benefiting from inclusive minutes on mobile phone or landline calling plans are also able to call these numbers using their inclusive minutes.[15]

There are three different ranges of numbers: those beginning 030x are reserved for qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations; those beginning 033x can be allocated to anyone; and those beginning 034x and 037x have been allocated for migration from the matching 084x and 087x number ranges respectively.[16]

030x xxx xxxx For qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations as defined by Ofcom
033x xxx xxxx For any end user
034x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 084x numbers
037x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 087x numbers

Corporate and VoIP numbering[edit]

  • 05x xxxx xxxx—Corporate and VoIP numbering.

Unlike 03 numbers there is no uniform pricing for 05 numbers; BT charge a number of different rates depending on the number dialled.[17] Some are charged at geographic rate, others not. Other operators are not required to charge the same rates as BT for calling 05 numbers.

055 xxxx xxxx Corporate Numbering (but also used by BT for its Broadband Voice service)
056 xxxx xxxx Allocated by Ofcom for LIECS (Location Independent Electronic Communications Services), e.g. VoIP services

Freephone numbers[edit]

  • 0500 xxx xxx—Freephone services allocated before 1999.

Until July 2017, the 0500 range was used for some freephone services which were originally provided by Mercury Communications Ltd (now Cable & Wireless Worldwide). These numbers were different from the rest of the 05 range in that they are only 9 digits in length after the 0 trunk code, e.g. 0500 007 007 (National Savings and Investments), 0500 2 88 2 91 (BBC Radio 2, 88 to 91 FM), 0500 600 600 (Crimewatch), 0500 600 700 (Watchdog[clarification needed]) and 0500 909 693 (BBC Radio 5 Live, 909 and 693 kHz). Numerous universities, government departments, airlines, banks and businesses also used these numbers. They were allocated before the general trend of using longer numbers started in 1997 and long before the rest of the 05 range was assigned to corporate and VoIP numbering after 2000.

0500 xxx xxx[notes 2] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, up to 40p per minute from mobile.

The range was withdrawn by Ofcom in July 2017[18] as a result of a series of consultations starting from 2012.[19] The number range
08085 xxx xxx was made available to owners of 0500 xxx xxx to enable a smooth transition.

  • 0800 xxx xxx, 0800 xxx xxxx and 0808 xxx xxxx—Freephone services.
0800 xxx xxx[notes 3] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, and was up to 40p per minute from mobile, until July 2015 when calls to 080 numbers from mobiles became free. Calls to certain charity and similar services were always free from most mobiles.
0808 9xx xxxx numbers are used by freephone internet services.
0800 xxx xxxx
0808 xxx xxxx

There is one short «special» number in this range, 0800 11 11 for Childline.

Additionally, numbers in the range 0808 80x xxxx are reserved for not-for-profit helplines and as such are usually free to call from most mobile telephones. A number of other numbers can also be called for free from mobiles,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] but this varies by network.

Fixed-rate or special-rate services[edit]

  • 084x xxx xxxx (Special Services basic rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services
  • 087x xxx xxxx (Special Services higher rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services.

With the exception of 080x freephone numbers, 08xx numbers are charged above geographic rates, with some of the extra revenue going to the terminating telco. This additional revenue may be shared with the subscriber, but is often used instead to subsidise additional network services, such as fax-to-email, virtual office applications, call queuing, voicemail and easy number redirection. None of these call management services is exclusive to 08xx numbers and they could be provided on any number range.

Special Services basic rate range:

0845 xxx xxxx Up to 5p a minute, varies daytime/evening/weekend, from BT landline, other providers may charge more; up to 42p a minute from mobiles.
0844 00x xxxx Non-BT Discount Scheme—Internet Services incorporating unmetered access up to and including 5p for BT customers

There were a few short «special» number in this range, such as 0845 46 47 for NHS Direct; this was closed in 2014 and replaced by NHS 111, except in Wales where the transition took place in 2015.

Special Services higher rate range:

0870 xxx xxxx Up to 8p a minute (plus VAT), varies daytime/evening/weekend (charged at no more than the caller would pay for a call to a Geographic Number) from landline; up to 42p a minute from mobiles.

The usage of 0871, 0872 and 0873 numbers is regulated by PhonepayPlus.[28]

There was widespread confusion about the cost of calling 084 and 087 numbers until 2015. They often do not qualify for discounts and bundled minutes, and can be prohibitively expensive when called from mobiles and payphones. Many major companies persist in misdescribing them as «Local Rate», «Lo Call» (often as ‘locall rate’ which can be easily misread as ‘local rate’) or «National Rate» for which the Advertising Standards Authority can take action.[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]
[40][41][42]

Access charge and service charge[edit]

From 1 July 2015, the charge for calls to 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers has been simplified. It is split into two parts: An access charge, payable to the telephone service provider – e.g. BT, EE, Sky – plus a service charge paid to the company offering the service.

Companies with 084, 087, and 09 numbers must declare the service charge element of the call cost when advertising their phone number; for example, a number may be advertised saying «Calls cost 20p per minute plus your phone company’s access charge».[43] Telecoms companies must inform their customers about their access charge for calling each number range. The EU Consumer Rights Directive requires that many entities that held 084 and 087 numbers will no longer be allowed to use them. The directive bans the usage of numbers that cost more than calling a geographic number for customer service and complaints lines, and other such purposes.[44][45] Since Britain left the EU the Directive as such no longer applies, but its provisions may have been incorporated into British law.[needs update]

Other 08xx number ranges[edit]

  • 08xx xxx xxxx—Internet for schools and Inbound routing codes.
0820 xxx xxxx Special Services: Internet for schools
0899 9xx xxxx Inbound routing codes

Premium rate content services (PRS and SES)[edit]

  • 09xx xxx xxxx—Premium Rate Content Services

Numbers in the 09xx range are charged at the highest rates of any calls within the United Kingdom, and are controlled by various regulations regarding their use. The regulator is the Phone-paid Services Authority, formerly PhonepayPlus.[28] There are a large number of charge bands, some with high pence-per-minute rates, others with a high fixed-price for the entire call.

090x xxx xxxx Premium rate content services (PRS)

091x xxx xxxx Premium rate non-content services (PRS)

The earlier unused 092x xxx xxxx – 099x xxx xxxx allocation for «Broadband Internet Services» no longer exists and was removed from the number plan in 2005.

Crown dependencies[edit]

Although calls from UK landlines to landlines in the islands are charged at the same rate as those to other UK landlines (i.e. they are not treated as international calls), calls may be excluded from calling plans offering unlimited UK fixed line calls.

Mobile operators may also charge more for calls to the islands and these calls are usually excluded from calling plans. Calls and SMS messages sent to island mobile phone numbers are not charged at the same rate as calls to UK mobile phone numbers.

Guernsey[edit]

This area code is used for the Bailiwick of Guernsey, i.e. including Alderney and Sark.

(01481) xxx xxx Fixed line 48 = GU
(01481) 822 xxx Fixed line (Alderney)
(01481) 823 xxx
(01481) 824 xxx
(01481) 832 xxx Fixed line (Sark)
(01481) 833 xxx
07781 xxx xxx Sure mobile phones and pagers
07839 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile phones
07911 xxx xxx Wave Telecom mobile phones, not for UK

Jersey[edit]

(01534) xxx xxx Fixed line 53 = JE
07509 xxx xxx Jersey Telecom mobile phones and pagers
07797 xxx xxx
07937 xxx xxx
07700 xxx xxx Sure mobile network
07829 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile network

Several Jersey companies also have non-geographic numbers allocated.[46]

Isle of Man[edit]

(01624) xxx xxx Fixed line 62 = MA
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones and paging services
07524 xxx xxx Mobile phones additional capacity
07924 xxx xxx

On the Isle of Man, both fixed (01624) and mobile phone (07624) numbers can be dialled locally in the six-digit format.

Fictitious numbers[edit]

Ofcom has also reserved certain number ranges for use in television dramas and films, so as to avoid the risk of people having their telephone numbers displayed and receiving unwanted calls. This is similar to the use of fictitious telephone numbers in the United States and Canada starting with the digits 555.

In most of the large cities with three-digit area codes, a range of numbers is reserved, usually all the numbers starting with the digits 496. For fictitious numbers in other areas, the area code 01632 is reserved; this code is not in use, although 0632 was used for Newcastle upon Tyne until the late 1980s (63 = NE) and briefly reallocated for use by premium rate services in the 1990s. There are also reserved ranges for fictitious mobile, freephone and premium rate numbers.[47][48]

The Post Office even produced dial centre labels for use in advertisements and film/TV with a mythical exchange called VINcent plus four digits. The numerical equivalent of VIN was 846 and all the caller got was the speaking clock (i.e. 846 is also numerical equivalent of TIM) in the big city «Director» areas.[49]

At around the same time as the other Big Number Change changes, Ofcom revised their recommendations to update the prefixes, add additional areas and increase the size of the allocation from 10 to 1,000 numbers per block. Those changes are listed in the Big Number Change article.

In Coronation Street, the fictional Manchester suburb of Weatherfield uses the unallocated range (0161) 715 xxxx.[50]

Special service numbers[edit]

Emergency services and helplines[edit]

The UK has two free emergency numbers: the traditional 999, which is still widely used, and the EU standard 112. Both 999 and 112 are used to contact all emergency services: Police, Fire Service, Ambulance Service and Coastguard. (Standard advice for Mountain Rescue or Cave Rescue is to ask the emergency operator for the police, who oversee the communication with these two services.[51][52][53])

Both numbers can be called from mobile phones with the keylock on or without entering the PIN where that would otherwise be required. Although some mobile phones allow emergency calls to be attempted without a SIM card, at present the UK networks reject such calls. Since November 2009, an emergency call can be made through any UK mobile network as long as there is a SIM for any valid UK network in the handset. Although UK VOIP phone providers are required to offer 999 / 112 service, this is subject to a registration for the service and with a verified service address and users need to be aware such service may not work in a power blackout; however, International VOIP providers may not provide this service.

The chargeable number 101 was introduced for non-urgent crime and community safety calls on a trial basis in 2006. In Wales, the scheme was taken forward by all four police forces, who adopted the number for non-emergency calls on a permanent basis in early 2009. In England, the scheme was on trial until 2012, when it was adopted nationwide and the cost to call changed from 10p per call to 15p per call. In Northern Ireland, the number was introduced by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in March 2014.[54] Since 1 April 2020 the number is free to call.

The operator is obtained via 100 from landlines, while directory enquiries, formerly 192, is now provided in the 118xxx range, (not to be confused with 0118, the area code for Reading.) e.g. 118 212, 118 800, 118 500, 118 118, by different companies. International operator assistance is reached through 155.

From early 2010, the pan-European 116 number range came into use for social helplines. The first three numbers allocated were Missing People using 116 000 for a missing children helpline, the NSPCC ChildLine on 116 111, and Samaritans using 116 123 for an emotional support helpline.[citation needed] A recent[when?] consultation for the numbers 116 106 and 116 117 has yet to see any result.

The National Health Service (NHS) can be reached on 111 for non-emergency calls (from landlines and mobiles only). In other European countries, the number 116 117 is used for a similar purpose.

The NHS has also launched a COVID-19 helpline on 119 relating to swabbing so these calls do not go through the 111 call centre.

Local electricity network operators can be reached on 105 to report power cuts.[55]

Two telephone helplines within the regular code space have only eight digits, namely 0800 11 11 for ChildLine and 0845 4647 for NHS Direct in Wales.

The number 159 (‘Call 159’) has been introduced to give a standard number for calling banks, in an effort to reduce scams where people are tricked into calling someone pretending to be their bank.[56]

Speaking clock[edit]

Since the mid-1990s, speaking clock services have been available throughout Great Britain using the number 123. Before this, exchanges in «Director» areas (Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Manchester) dialled 846 (TIM), later changing to 123; main exchanges in «non-Director» areas originally used «952», later changing to «80» with the introduction of STD and eventually to «8081» as other recorded services were introduced on 80X1 codes. Some mobile operators allocate other services to 123, such as customer services or voicemail.

Automated services and access codes[edit]

Short codes beginning with 1 are reserved for telecom service providers’ own functionality; some of the most well-known are codes for use with Caller Display:

141 Withhold number when normally released
1470 Release number when normally withheld
1471 Last call information and return caller may press 3 to return call on most networks
1475 1471 erasure removes details of last call from 1471 service. May need to be prefixed with 1470 if number is normally withheld
1477 Automatic Call Trace Stores number (even if withheld) of nuisance caller at terminating exchange for subsequent investigation and enforcement,

but service is seldom enabled by default

1571 Voicemail service For people who do not have answering machines.
If there is a new message, the dial tone will be stuttered.
1572 BT Call Protect To divert nuisance calls to junk voicemail.
#31# Withhold number 141 equivalent for use on mobile networks

Many fixed line telephone subscribers, e.g. of BT,[57] Virgin Media,[58] SkyTalk, TalkTalk, and PlusNet, have the opportunity to use an automated messaging service which takes messages when the called number is either engaged («busy») or not answered within a given time. This can be accessed by calling 1571.

For fixed line users, it is possible to override the carrier pre-selection (CPS) on a per-call basis, dialling a special code before the number, e.g. 1280 for BT, 1664 for LowerCall, or 1844 for Daisy. Ofcom defines the range for these as: «124 to 140, 143 to 146, 148 to 149, 160 to 169, and 181 to 189 inclusive. Numbers of up to 5-digits used to access an Indirect Access Provider (‘Type B Access Codes’)».[59]

History[edit]

List of United Kingdom dialing codes

Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom are administered by the Office of Communications (Ofcom). For this purpose, Ofcom established a telephone numbering plan, known as the National Telephone Numbering Plan, which is the system for assigning telephone numbers to subscriber stations.

The numbers are of variable length. Local numbers are supported from land-lines or numbers can be dialled with a ‘0’-lead prefix that denotes either a geographical region or another service. Mobile phone numbers have their own prefixes which are not geographical and are completely portable between providers.

Structure[edit]

All mobile numbers, nearly all geographic numbers and nearly all non-geographic numbers have 10 national (significant) numbers after the «0» trunk code. The overall structure of the UK’s National Numbering Plan is:[1]

Prefix Service type
00 International
01 Geographic area codes
02 Geographic area codes (introduced in 2000).
03 Non-geographic numbers charged at standard geographic area code rates (introduced in 2007)
04 Not in use
05 Corporate numbering and VoIP services; toll-free services (0500) until June 2017
06 Not in use
07 Mobile telephony (071xx–075xx and 077xx–079xx), personal numbering (070xx), non-UK mobile networks (07624) and pagers (076xx)
08 Toll-free services (080x), special-rate services (084x and 087x)
09 Premium rate services

A short sample of geographic numbers, set out in the officially approved (Ofcom) number groups:[2]

(024) 7xxx xxxx Coventry
(029) xxxx xxxx Cardiff
(0113) xxx xxxx Leeds
(0114) xxx xxxx Sheffield
(0121) xxx xxxx Birmingham

(01204) xx xxxx Bolton
(015396) xx xxx Sedbergh
(016977) xxxx or xxxxx Brampton
(016064) xxxx or xxxxx Hartford

In the United Kingdom, area codes are two, three, four or, exceptionally, five digits long (after the initial zero). Regions with shorter area codes, typically large cities, permit the allocation of more telephone numbers as the local number portion has more digits. Local customer numbers are four to eight digits long. The total number of digits is ten or, very rarely, nine (not including the initial zero). The «area code» is also referred to as an «STD (code)» or a «dialling code» in the UK.[citation needed]

The code allocated to the largest population is (020) for London. The code allocated to the largest area is (028) for all of Northern Ireland. The UK Numbering Plan also applies to three British Crown dependencies – Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man – even though they are not part of the UK.

Number ranges starting 01 can have National Significant Number (NSN) length of 10 or (very rarely) 9 digits. NSN is the number of digits after the leading 0 trunk code or +44 international prefix. The 0800 range can have NSN length as 10, 9 or 7 digits. The 0845 range can have NSN length as 10 or 7 digits. The 0500 range had NSN length as 9 digits only, and was withdrawn from use on 3 June 2017. All other UK numbers have NSN length of 10 digits. There are no telephone numbers in the UK with an NSN length of 8 digits.

Geographic numbers[edit]

Standard geographic numbers[edit]

Geographic telephone numbers in the UK always have nine or ten digits after the 0 trunk code or +44 international dialling prefix.

Four-digit area codes[edit]

Four-digit area codes have either six-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of five- and six-digit subscriber numbers.

  • (01xxx) xxx xxx

This is the format used by most areas. It has a four-digit area code (after the initial zero) and a six digit subscriber number, and is known as 4+6 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. Just short of 581 areas use this format, and the area codes range from 01200 to 01998. Almost all (01xxx) area codes now have only six digit subscriber numbers, but a small number of these areas also have some subscriber numbers only five digits in length (see next section).

01244 Chester 24 = CH
01382 Dundee 38 = DU

01642 Teesside or Middlesbrough 64 = MI
01670 Morpeth 67 = MP

01792 Swansea 79 = SW
01793 Swindon 79 = SW
01854 Ullapool 85 = UL
01947 Whitby 94 = WH

Six of the four-digit area codes are known as «mixed» areas as they share those four digits with the twelve five-digit area codes. This leads to a restriction as to which initial digits can be used for subscriber numbers within those four-digit area codes, e.g. in the 01387 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 3 because 013873 is a separate five-digit area code; likewise in the 01946 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 7 because 019467 is a separate five-digit area code.

  • (01xxx) xx xxx

This is used for forty smaller towns which have a mixture of six and five digit local numbers, each type allocated in specific DE blocks*; e.g. in the 01647 area code numbers beginning 24 and 61 have five digits (24xxx and 61xxx; known as 4+5 format) whereas all other DE blocks* within that area code have six digit numbers. The number of places with five digit subscriber numbers and an 01xxx area code has declined rapidly in recent decades. There were 511 ranges allocated across 56 different area codes in January 1998. The Big Number Change removed many, especially in Northern Ireland, and by July 2005 there were only 329 ranges in 42 codes. By April 2010 this had reduced to 324 ranges in 40 codes, with still the same number in November 2012. The 40 area codes are listed in the table below.

*A DE block is a block of numbers where (taking the area code and the subscriber number together) the initial 0 and the next six digits after it are the same for all the subscriber numbers in the block.

(These area codes, like many others, were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.)

Three-digit area codes[edit]

Three-digit area codes always have seven-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 011x or 01×1.

  • (01×1) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the first round of five large cities moved to all figure dialling in the 1960s, and subsequently also used in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham and south-eastern Northumberland from the 1980s onwards. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 1×1 (after the initial zero) and a seven digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0121 Birmingham formerly 021 (2 = B)
0131 Edinburgh formerly 031 (3 = E)
0141 Glasgow formerly 041 (4 = G)
0151 Liverpool formerly 051 (5 = L)
0161 Manchester formerly 061 (6 = M)

0191 County of Tyne and Wear, eastern County Durham,
south-eastern Northumberland
formerly 091 (9 = tYne)
  • (011x) xxx xxxx

This is the geographic number format for the second round of large cities and towns moved to brand-new three-digit area codes. Five of these were moved in 1995 as a part of PhONEday, with Reading then following a year later. At the time of the change, an extra digit was added to the subscriber number. These six areas have a three-digit area code matching the pattern 11x, with a seven-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 3+7 format. The first three digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. The former Reading area code had already been changed once, by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

0113 Leeds formerly 0532 (53 = LE)
0114 Sheffield formerly 0742 (74 = SH)

0117 Bristol formerly 0272 (27 = BR)
0118 Reading formerly 0734, then 01734 (73 = RE)

Two-digit area codes[edit]

Two-digit area codes always have eight-digit subscriber numbers and always begin 02.

  • (02x) xxxx xxxx

This is the newest geographic number format. It is used for the third tier of large cities and for Northern Ireland, and was formed as a part of the Big Number Change in 2000. The new area code is much shorter than the old one, and begins 02 unlike the previous 01 area codes. Numbers in these five areas are commonly misquoted, e.g. London as 0207 or Cardiff as 02920. The numbers consist of a two-digit area code matching the pattern 02x, and an eight-digit subscriber number, and this is known as 2+8 format.

The first four digits of the local number identifies a small area within the town or city. At the time of the change, the subscriber part of the number gained an extra digit in London, those in Northern Ireland gained two or three digits, and the subscriber part of the number in the other areas gained two digits. All of these areas were also subject to a previous code change, one that added a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995.

Five-digit area codes[edit]

Five-digit area codes have either five-digit subscriber numbers or a mix of four- and five-digit subscriber numbers.
Five-digit area codes always share their first four digits with four-digit area codes.

  • (01xx xx) xx xxx and (01xx xx) xxxx

This is the oldest geographic number format and is used for twelve smaller towns and villages where the subscriber number is either five or (in one area code) four digits long. These are known as 5+5 and 5+4 format. Therefore, the STD code and the subscriber number does not always total ten digits after the initial zero trunk code. These area codes were changed by adding a «1» directly after the initial zero as a part of PhONEday in 1995. The number of places using these two formats has declined rapidly in recent decades and Brampton is the last place in the UK with four-digit local numbers.

0138 73 Langholm
0152 42 Hornby
0153 94 Hawkshead
0153 95 Grange-over-Sands
0153 96 Sedbergh
0169 73 Wigton
0169 74 Raughton Head
0169 77 Brampton[7][8]
0176 83 Appleby
0176 84 Pooley Bridge
0176 87 Keswick
0194 67 Gosforth

The above twelve area codes and their six ‘parent’ area codes (01387, 01524, 01539, 01697, 01768 and 01946) are known as ‘Mixed’ areas due to multiple area codes sharing the same SABC digits (i.e. the initial zero and the following four digits).

National dialling only ranges[edit]

These ranges have subscriber numbers beginning with the digits «0» or «1», e.g.:

0169 770 xxxx Brampton
01332 050 xxx Derby
01382 006 xxx Dundee
0141 005 xxxx Glasgow
0117 101 xxxx Bristol
0118 00x xxxx Reading
020 0003 xxxx London

Currently, these numbers are mostly used as the termination points for non-geographic numbers, and by some automated systems such as alarms. As such they are not usually meant to be directly dialled. Using these numbers directly has been problematic as some mobile phone operators in the UK do not allow access to these ranges,[9] and there may also be difficulty accessing these numbers from outside the UK.

Regulator Ofcom proposes that in future these ranges be released for wider, general-purpose use in up to 70 area codes facing number shortage[10] but then, in order to avoid confusion with codes beginning with these digits, the area code would always have to be dialled for all calls, even from within the same geographic exchange. Accordingly, if these numbers are eventually released for general use, Ofcom proposes completely removing the ability to dial locally without the area code in areas affected.

Requiring the use of the area code also allows additional local numbers starting with normally protected Special Services numbers (such as 999, 101, 111, 112 etc.) to be used, significantly increasing the quantity of numbers available for use. This occurred on 1 November 2012 for the 01202 area code, which covers the Bournemouth area.[11]

Recently, the carrier TalkTalk have inadvertently released parts of the 020 0011 range to the general public,[12] with these numbers currently being in use. For example, the charity Give a Car used the number 020 0011 1664 for a while, but recently switched to a proper London number.

Mobile telephones[edit]

  • 07xxx xxx xxx—mobile phones and WiFi numbers.

Individual mobile phone companies are allocated different ranges within the 073xx, 074xx, 075xx, 07624, 077xx, 078xx and 079xx area codes. Changes to mobile phone numbers in the Big Number Change were mostly straight replacements, such as Vodafone customers on the 0378 block became 07778.

071xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since January 2017)
073xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2014)
074xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since November 2009)
075xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (in use since May 2007)
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones on the Isle of Man
077xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 03xx and 04xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
078xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 05xx, 06xx and 08xx—mostly Vodafone and O2 (formerly Cellnet))
079xx xxx xxx Mobile phones (former 09xx—mostly EE (formerly Orange and one2one))
07911 2xx xxx
07911 8xx xxx
Number range for data-only services (e.g. 3G/LTE-enabled tablet computers, portable modem routers, data devices, etc.)

Since the advent of Mobile number portability, mobile phone number prefixes can no longer be relied on to determine the current operator of a particular mobile phone – only the original operator.

Pagers and personal numbering[edit]

  • 07x xxxx xxxx—pagers and personal numbering (PNS).
070 xxxx xxxx Personal numbering
076 xxxx xxxx Pagers (excluding 07624, used for mobile phones on the Isle of Man)

Personal numbers beginning 070 are regulated by Phone-paid Services Authority.

Calls to 070 and 076 numbers are often charged at a much higher rate than the similar-looking 07xxx mobile telephone numbers and often they are not included in «inclusive minutes» in phone contracts.

From 1 October 2019, Ofcom has capped the termination or wholesale rate for calls to 070 numbers to be at the same level as for calls to mobile numbers. Ofcom «expect[s] this will allow phone companies to price calls to these numbers or include them in call allowances in the same way that they do for calls to mobile [number]s«.[13]

Non-geographic numbers[edit]

Non-geographic numbers charged at geographic rate[edit]

  • 03xx xxx xxxx—»UK-wide» numbering.

03xx is a range of non-geographic numbers introduced in 2007 as a cheaper alternative to the shared-cost non-geographic numbers (such as 0870 or 0845 numbers). In contrast to the 084x/087x range, calls to 03 numbers are considered local calls for billing purposes (i.e., like calls to a geographic number 01 or 02).[14] This means that customers who are benefiting from inclusive minutes on mobile phone or landline calling plans are also able to call these numbers using their inclusive minutes.[15]

There are three different ranges of numbers: those beginning 030x are reserved for qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations; those beginning 033x can be allocated to anyone; and those beginning 034x and 037x have been allocated for migration from the matching 084x and 087x number ranges respectively.[16]

030x xxx xxxx For qualifying public bodies and non-profit organisations as defined by Ofcom
033x xxx xxxx For any end user
034x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 084x numbers
037x xxx xxxx Migration range for operators who have 087x numbers

Corporate and VoIP numbering[edit]

  • 05x xxxx xxxx—Corporate and VoIP numbering.

Unlike 03 numbers there is no uniform pricing for 05 numbers; BT charge a number of different rates depending on the number dialled.[17] Some are charged at geographic rate, others not. Other operators are not required to charge the same rates as BT for calling 05 numbers.

055 xxxx xxxx Corporate Numbering (but also used by BT for its Broadband Voice service)
056 xxxx xxxx Allocated by Ofcom for LIECS (Location Independent Electronic Communications Services), e.g. VoIP services

Freephone numbers[edit]

  • 0500 xxx xxx—Freephone services allocated before 1999.

Until July 2017, the 0500 range was used for some freephone services which were originally provided by Mercury Communications Ltd (now Cable & Wireless Worldwide). These numbers were different from the rest of the 05 range in that they are only 9 digits in length after the 0 trunk code, e.g. 0500 007 007 (National Savings and Investments), 0500 2 88 2 91 (BBC Radio 2, 88 to 91 FM), 0500 600 600 (Crimewatch), 0500 600 700 (Watchdog[clarification needed]) and 0500 909 693 (BBC Radio 5 Live, 909 and 693 kHz). Numerous universities, government departments, airlines, banks and businesses also used these numbers. They were allocated before the general trend of using longer numbers started in 1997 and long before the rest of the 05 range was assigned to corporate and VoIP numbering after 2000.

0500 xxx xxx[notes 2] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, up to 40p per minute from mobile.

The range was withdrawn by Ofcom in July 2017[18] as a result of a series of consultations starting from 2012.[19] The number range
08085 xxx xxx was made available to owners of 0500 xxx xxx to enable a smooth transition.

  • 0800 xxx xxx, 0800 xxx xxxx and 0808 xxx xxxx—Freephone services.
0800 xxx xxx[notes 3] Special Services – No charge to Customer a.k.a. «Freephone» Free to call from landline, and was up to 40p per minute from mobile, until July 2015 when calls to 080 numbers from mobiles became free. Calls to certain charity and similar services were always free from most mobiles.
0808 9xx xxxx numbers are used by freephone internet services.
0800 xxx xxxx
0808 xxx xxxx

There is one short «special» number in this range, 0800 11 11 for Childline.

Additionally, numbers in the range 0808 80x xxxx are reserved for not-for-profit helplines and as such are usually free to call from most mobile telephones. A number of other numbers can also be called for free from mobiles,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] but this varies by network.

Fixed-rate or special-rate services[edit]

  • 084x xxx xxxx (Special Services basic rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services
  • 087x xxx xxxx (Special Services higher rate) – non-geographic fixed-rate or special-rate services.

With the exception of 080x freephone numbers, 08xx numbers are charged above geographic rates, with some of the extra revenue going to the terminating telco. This additional revenue may be shared with the subscriber, but is often used instead to subsidise additional network services, such as fax-to-email, virtual office applications, call queuing, voicemail and easy number redirection. None of these call management services is exclusive to 08xx numbers and they could be provided on any number range.

Special Services basic rate range:

0845 xxx xxxx Up to 5p a minute, varies daytime/evening/weekend, from BT landline, other providers may charge more; up to 42p a minute from mobiles.
0844 00x xxxx Non-BT Discount Scheme—Internet Services incorporating unmetered access up to and including 5p for BT customers

There were a few short «special» number in this range, such as 0845 46 47 for NHS Direct; this was closed in 2014 and replaced by NHS 111, except in Wales where the transition took place in 2015.

Special Services higher rate range:

0870 xxx xxxx Up to 8p a minute (plus VAT), varies daytime/evening/weekend (charged at no more than the caller would pay for a call to a Geographic Number) from landline; up to 42p a minute from mobiles.

The usage of 0871, 0872 and 0873 numbers is regulated by PhonepayPlus.[28]

There was widespread confusion about the cost of calling 084 and 087 numbers until 2015. They often do not qualify for discounts and bundled minutes, and can be prohibitively expensive when called from mobiles and payphones. Many major companies persist in misdescribing them as «Local Rate», «Lo Call» (often as ‘locall rate’ which can be easily misread as ‘local rate’) or «National Rate» for which the Advertising Standards Authority can take action.[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]
[40][41][42]

Access charge and service charge[edit]

From 1 July 2015, the charge for calls to 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers has been simplified. It is split into two parts: An access charge, payable to the telephone service provider – e.g. BT, EE, Sky – plus a service charge paid to the company offering the service.

Companies with 084, 087, and 09 numbers must declare the service charge element of the call cost when advertising their phone number; for example, a number may be advertised saying «Calls cost 20p per minute plus your phone company’s access charge».[43] Telecoms companies must inform their customers about their access charge for calling each number range. The EU Consumer Rights Directive requires that many entities that held 084 and 087 numbers will no longer be allowed to use them. The directive bans the usage of numbers that cost more than calling a geographic number for customer service and complaints lines, and other such purposes.[44][45] Since Britain left the EU the Directive as such no longer applies, but its provisions may have been incorporated into British law.[needs update]

Other 08xx number ranges[edit]

  • 08xx xxx xxxx—Internet for schools and Inbound routing codes.
0820 xxx xxxx Special Services: Internet for schools
0899 9xx xxxx Inbound routing codes

Premium rate content services (PRS and SES)[edit]

  • 09xx xxx xxxx—Premium Rate Content Services

Numbers in the 09xx range are charged at the highest rates of any calls within the United Kingdom, and are controlled by various regulations regarding their use. The regulator is the Phone-paid Services Authority, formerly PhonepayPlus.[28] There are a large number of charge bands, some with high pence-per-minute rates, others with a high fixed-price for the entire call.

The earlier unused 092x xxx xxxx – 099x xxx xxxx allocation for «Broadband Internet Services» no longer exists and was removed from the number plan in 2005.

Crown dependencies[edit]

Although calls from UK landlines to landlines in the islands are charged at the same rate as those to other UK landlines (i.e. they are not treated as international calls), calls may be excluded from calling plans offering unlimited UK fixed line calls.

Mobile operators may also charge more for calls to the islands and these calls are usually excluded from calling plans. Calls and SMS messages sent to island mobile phone numbers are not charged at the same rate as calls to UK mobile phone numbers.

Guernsey[edit]

This area code is used for the Bailiwick of Guernsey, i.e. including Alderney and Sark.

(01481) xxx xxx Fixed line 48 = GU
(01481) 822 xxx Fixed line (Alderney)
(01481) 823 xxx
(01481) 824 xxx
(01481) 832 xxx Fixed line (Sark)
(01481) 833 xxx
07781 xxx xxx Sure mobile phones and pagers
07839 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile phones
07911 xxx xxx Wave Telecom mobile phones, not for UK

Jersey[edit]

(01534) xxx xxx Fixed line 53 = JE
07509 xxx xxx Jersey Telecom mobile phones and pagers
07797 xxx xxx
07937 xxx xxx
07700 xxx xxx Sure mobile network
07829 xxx xxx Airtel Vodafone mobile network

Several Jersey companies also have non-geographic numbers allocated.[46]

Isle of Man[edit]

(01624) xxx xxx Fixed line 62 = MA
07624 xxx xxx Mobile phones and paging services
07524 xxx xxx Mobile phones additional capacity
07924 xxx xxx

On the Isle of Man, both fixed (01624) and mobile phone (07624) numbers can be dialled locally in the six-digit format.

Fictitious numbers[edit]

Ofcom has also reserved certain number ranges for use in television dramas and films, so as to avoid the risk of people having their telephone numbers displayed and receiving unwanted calls. This is similar to the use of fictitious telephone numbers in the United States and Canada starting with the digits 555.

In most of the large cities with three-digit area codes, a range of numbers is reserved, usually all the numbers starting with the digits 496. For fictitious numbers in other areas, the area code 01632 is reserved; this code is not in use, although 0632 was used for Newcastle upon Tyne until the late 1980s (63 = NE) and briefly reallocated for use by premium rate services in the 1990s. There are also reserved ranges for fictitious mobile, freephone and premium rate numbers.[47][48]

The Post Office even produced dial centre labels for use in advertisements and film/TV with a mythical exchange called VINcent plus four digits. The numerical equivalent of VIN was 846 and all the caller got was the speaking clock (i.e. 846 is also numerical equivalent of TIM) in the big city «Director» areas.[49]

At around the same time as the other Big Number Change changes, Ofcom revised their recommendations to update the prefixes, add additional areas and increase the size of the allocation from 10 to 1,000 numbers per block. Those changes are listed in the Big Number Change article.

In Coronation Street, the fictional Manchester suburb of Weatherfield uses the unallocated range (0161) 715 xxxx.[50]

Special service numbers[edit]

Emergency services and helplines[edit]

The UK has two free emergency numbers: the traditional 999, which is still widely used, and the EU standard 112. Both 999 and 112 are used to contact all emergency services: Police, Fire Service, Ambulance Service and Coastguard. (Standard advice for Mountain Rescue or Cave Rescue is to ask the emergency operator for the police, who oversee the communication with these two services.[51][52][53])

Both numbers can be called from mobile phones with the keylock on or without entering the PIN where that would otherwise be required. Although some mobile phones allow emergency calls to be attempted without a SIM card, at present the UK networks reject such calls. Since November 2009, an emergency call can be made through any UK mobile network as long as there is a SIM for any valid UK network in the handset. Although UK VOIP phone providers are required to offer 999 / 112 service, this is subject to a registration for the service and with a verified service address and users need to be aware such service may not work in a power blackout; however, International VOIP providers may not provide this service.

The chargeable number 101 was introduced for non-urgent crime and community safety calls on a trial basis in 2006. In Wales, the scheme was taken forward by all four police forces, who adopted the number for non-emergency calls on a permanent basis in early 2009. In England, the scheme was on trial until 2012, when it was adopted nationwide and the cost to call changed from 10p per call to 15p per call. In Northern Ireland, the number was introduced by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in March 2014.[54] Since 1 April 2020 the number is free to call.

The operator is obtained via 100 from landlines, while directory enquiries, formerly 192, is now provided in the 118xxx range, (not to be confused with 0118, the area code for Reading.) e.g. 118 212, 118 800, 118 500, 118 118, by different companies. International operator assistance is reached through 155.

From early 2010, the pan-European 116 number range came into use for social helplines. The first three numbers allocated were Missing People using 116 000 for a missing children helpline, the NSPCC ChildLine on 116 111, and Samaritans using 116 123 for an emotional support helpline.[citation needed] A recent[when?] consultation for the numbers 116 106 and 116 117 has yet to see any result.

The National Health Service (NHS) can be reached on 111 for non-emergency calls (from landlines and mobiles only). In other European countries, the number 116 117 is used for a similar purpose.

The NHS has also launched a COVID-19 helpline on 119 relating to swabbing so these calls do not go through the 111 call centre.

Local electricity network operators can be reached on 105 to report power cuts.[55]

Two telephone helplines within the regular code space have only eight digits, namely 0800 11 11 for ChildLine and 0845 4647 for NHS Direct in Wales.

The number 159 (‘Call 159’) has been introduced to give a standard number for calling banks, in an effort to reduce scams where people are tricked into calling someone pretending to be their bank.[56]

Speaking clock[edit]

Since the mid-1990s, speaking clock services have been available throughout Great Britain using the number 123. Before this, exchanges in «Director» areas (Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Manchester) dialled 846 (TIM), later changing to 123; main exchanges in «non-Director» areas originally used «952», later changing to «80» with the introduction of STD and eventually to «8081» as other recorded services were introduced on 80X1 codes. Some mobile operators allocate other services to 123, such as customer services or voicemail.

Automated services and access codes[edit]

Short codes beginning with 1 are reserved for telecom service providers’ own functionality; some of the most well-known are codes for use with Caller Display:

141 Withhold number when normally released
1470 Release number when normally withheld
1471 Last call information and return caller may press 3 to return call on most networks
1475 1471 erasure removes details of last call from 1471 service. May need to be prefixed with 1470 if number is normally withheld
1477 Automatic Call Trace Stores number (even if withheld) of nuisance caller at terminating exchange for subsequent investigation and enforcement,

but service is seldom enabled by default

1571 Voicemail service For people who do not have answering machines.
If there is a new message, the dial tone will be stuttered.
1572 BT Call Protect To divert nuisance calls to junk voicemail.
#31# Withhold number 141 equivalent for use on mobile networks

Many fixed line telephone subscribers, e.g. of BT,[57] Virgin Media,[58] SkyTalk, TalkTalk, and PlusNet, have the opportunity to use an automated messaging service which takes messages when the called number is either engaged («busy») or not answered within a given time. This can be accessed by calling 1571.

For fixed line users, it is possible to override the carrier pre-selection (CPS) on a per-call basis, dialling a special code before the number, e.g. 1280 for BT, 1664 for LowerCall, or 1844 for Daisy. Ofcom defines the range for these as: «124 to 140, 143 to 146, 148 to 149, 160 to 169, and 181 to 189 inclusive. Numbers of up to 5-digits used to access an Indirect Access Provider (‘Type B Access Codes’)».[59]

History[edit]

Какой телефонный код Великобритании?

Как позвонить в Лондон – в Англию из России? Телефонный звонок в Англии, в Уэльсе, в Шотландии, в Северной Ирландии и в Уэльсе 2021-2022

Если вы хотите связаться с кем-то в Великобритании, часто ваш телефон — самый быстрый способ сделать это. Но вы хотите убедиться, что не набираете неправильный номер. Вот краткое изложение того, что вам нужно понять, прежде чем звонить в Великобританию.

Как мне позвонить в Великобританию из России и других стран?

Чтобы позвонить в Великобританию из другой страны, вы будете использовать международный код страны. В каждой стране свои; это от 1 до 3 цифр. Телефонные номера в Великобритании обслуживаются Управлением связи Великобритании или Ofcom. Ofcom разработал Национальный план телефонной нумерации для всех стран, входящих в состав Соединенного Королевства, а также для нескольких зависимых территорий Британской Короны: Джерси, Гернси и острова Мэн.

Все телефонные номера состоят из 9 или 10 цифр с 3, 4 или иногда 5-значным кодом зоны (или «Набор номера абонентской внешней линии» или STD) перед местным телефонным номером.

Чтобы позвонить в Лондон и в города Великобританию, вы будете использовать международный код страны:

+44

Есть ли другие телефонные коды в Великобритании, о которых мне нужно знать чтобы позвонить в Лондон?

Есть еще несколько кодов, о которых следует помнить при международных звонках в или из Великобритании:

  • 0 — это код внешней линии, который должен использоваться в качестве префикса при звонках из Великобритании в другой регион страны.
  • 00 — это исходный код, который используется для подключения к разным странам за пределами Великобритании.
  • 05 используется для корпоративной нумерации и VoIP звонков.
  • 07 используется для вызова мобильного телефона
  • 09 зарезервировано для звонков с повышенным тарифом

Самые распространенные телефонные коды городов в Великобритании 2021 — 2022

Для большинства регионов и крупных городов очень характерно иметь несколько кодов городов в своих районах. Ниже приведены некоторые из наиболее часто используемых кодов городов для крупных городов и регионов:

Площадь Код города в Великобритании
Лондон 020
Северная Ирландия 028
Саутгемптон / Портсмут 023
Ковентри 024
Кардифф 029
Глазго 0141

Пример номера телефона в Великобритании

Если вы звоните из Великобритании на другой номер в Великобритании, настройка будет следующей:

(код города, начинается с 0) — (местный номер телефона) или 0X — XXXX — XXXX

Процесс звонка за границу немного отличается. Например, если вы звоните в посольство США в Лондоне, номер (0) 20, 7499 9000. Чтобы позвонить в посольство США из США, наберите:

  • 011 — код выхода для набора за пределы Штатов
  • 44 — код страны Великобритании
  • 20 — местный код Лондона, при звонке из-за границы первый префикс «0» опускается.
  • 7499-9000 — остальной номер посольства

Поэтому, если вы видите +44020749990000, вы набираете 011-44-20-7499-9000.

Почему мой звонок в Великобританию не сработал?

Если ваш звонок не удастся, это может быть по ряду причин. Некоторые тарифные планы Великобритании взимают плату как с звонящего, так и с человека, которому вы звоните, поэтому они могут не принять ваш звонок. Другие распространенные причины сбоя вызова включают:

  • Вы используете неправильный префикс международного набора для вашего местоположения
  • Вы забыли сбросить код внешней линии (первый «0», указанный в местных номерах)
  • Вы пользуетесь услугами VoIP или интернет-провайдера, который позволяет вам изображать, как будто вы звоните на местный телефон, и, следовательно, можете следовать местным правилам набора номера.
  • У человека, которому вы звоните, нет тарифного плана для приема международных звонков.

Если у вас все еще возникают проблемы, попробуйте позвонить через Интернет через приложение, такое как Whatsapp, Viber или Skype. Практически каждый в Великобритании будет иметь доступ к Wi-Fi или Интернету, так что, возможно, вам повезет больше.

Есть ли у телефонных номеров в Великобритании ящики голосовой почты?

Великобритания похожа на большинство других западных стран тем, что к любому телефону обычно подключена голосовая почта. Владельцы телефонов могут персонализировать свои ящики голосовой почты, используя свой собственный голос.

Как звучит мелодия звонка, когда вы звоните в Великобританию?

Кто может принимать участие в телефонных разговорах в Англии

Люди, которые находятся под иммиграционным залогом и обычно должны явиться в центр сообщений, при определенных условиях могут иметь право сообщить об этом по телефону.

Если вы имеете право, мы уведомим вас, выписав залог 201. Мы свяжемся с вами, используя один из методов связи, которые мы в настоящее время используем для вас. Это может быть электронная почта, текст (SMS) или по почте.

Судебный процесс продлится не менее 4 месяцев, после чего вы можете быть переведены на другой тип ограничения на освобождение под залог.

Как соблюдать телефонную отчетность в Великобритании

Если вы участвуете в составлении отчетов по телефону, вы будете получать телефонные звонки так часто, как это требуется в соответствии с вашей формой залога 201.

Вы должны быть готовы ответить на наши телефонные звонки в те дни и часы, которые указаны в вашей форме залога 201.

Телефонные звонки будут осуществляться с «скрытых» или «неизвестных» номеров.

Вы должны сами отвечать по телефону и не позволять никому отвечать от вашего имени. Юридические представители и иммиграционные консультанты не должны отвечать от вашего имени.

Во время звонка мы проведем проверку безопасности. Вам необходимо убедиться, что вы находитесь в подходящем месте, чтобы обсудить свои личные данные и иметь все необходимые документы.

Как и в случае с личным отчетом, вы получите текстовое (SMS) напоминание о следующем событии с отчетом.

В некоторых случаях вам может потребоваться сообщать по телефону чаще, чем когда вы ранее сообщали лично.

Если у вас есть причина, по которой вы не можете соблюдать требования по отчетности по телефону в отведенное время или дату, обратитесь в местный центр отчетности по телефону или электронной почте.

Если вы пропустите звонки в Великобритании

Если вы не отвечаете на запланированные звонки и последующие попытки дозвониться до вас, возможно, вы нарушаете иммиграционные условия освобождения под залог. Это означает, что Министерство внутренних дел может предпринять дальнейшие действия, в том числе изменить условия вашего иммиграционного залога и попросить вас посетить один из наших центров отчетности.

Если вы недавно пропустили звонок, обратитесь в местный иммиграционный центр, указав ссылку в своем министерстве внутренних дел.

Обновление ваших контактных данных для телефона в Великобритании

Если вы участвуете в подаче сообщений по телефону и вам необходимо изменить свои контактные данные, вы можете сделать это во время записи по телефону или отправив электронное письмо в местный иммиграционный центр.

Если вы хотите покинуть Великобританию

Если вы хотите покинуть Великобританию, вы можете обратиться в Службу добровольного возвращения Home Office для получения помощи по возвращении домой .

Если вы не считаете, что должны подлежать иммиграционному освобождению под залог

Если вы считаете, что имеете право на участие в схеме Windrush, вы можете найти дополнительную информацию в руководстве по схеме Windrush.

Если вы считаете, что вы были проданы в Великобританию и подвергаются эксплуатации, вам следует связаться с полицией по телефону 999. Дополнительную информацию о взрослых жертвах современного рабства можно найти на странице «Консультации для граждан».

Если вы думаете, у вас есть законные основания, чтобы остаться в Великобритании, вы можете подать заявку на посещение иммиграции страницы GOV.UK.

Какой телефонный код Великобритании?

Как позвонить в Лондон – в Англию из России? Телефонный звонок в Англии, в Уэльсе, в Шотландии, в Северной Ирландии и в Уэльсе 2021-2022

Если вы хотите связаться с кем-то в Великобритании, часто ваш телефон — самый быстрый способ сделать это. Но вы хотите убедиться, что не набираете неправильный номер. Вот краткое изложение того, что вам нужно понять, прежде чем звонить в Великобританию.

Как мне позвонить в Великобританию из России и других стран?

Чтобы позвонить в Великобританию из другой страны, вы будете использовать международный код страны. В каждой стране свои; это от 1 до 3 цифр. Телефонные номера в Великобритании обслуживаются Управлением связи Великобритании или Ofcom. Ofcom разработал Национальный план телефонной нумерации для всех стран, входящих в состав Соединенного Королевства, а также для нескольких зависимых территорий Британской Короны: Джерси, Гернси и острова Мэн.

Все телефонные номера состоят из 9 или 10 цифр с 3, 4 или иногда 5-значным кодом зоны (или «Набор номера абонентской внешней линии» или STD) перед местным телефонным номером.

Чтобы позвонить в Лондон и в города Великобританию, вы будете использовать международный код страны:

+44

VisaSales.Ru

Есть ли другие телефонные коды в Великобритании, о которых мне нужно знать чтобы позвонить в Лондон?

Есть еще несколько кодов, о которых следует помнить при международных звонках в или из Великобритании:

  • 0 — это код внешней линии, который должен использоваться в качестве префикса при звонках из Великобритании в другой регион страны.
  • 00 — это исходный код, который используется для подключения к разным странам за пределами Великобритании.
  • 05 используется для корпоративной нумерации и VoIP звонков.
  • 07 используется для вызова мобильного телефона
  • 09 зарезервировано для звонков с повышенным тарифом

Самые распространенные телефонные коды городов в Великобритании 2021 — 2022

Для большинства регионов и крупных городов очень характерно иметь несколько кодов городов в своих районах. Ниже приведены некоторые из наиболее часто используемых кодов городов для крупных городов и регионов:

Площадь Код города в Великобритании
Лондон 020
Северная Ирландия 028
Саутгемптон / Портсмут 023
Ковентри 024
Кардифф 029
Глазго 0141
Ливерпуль 0151
Манчестер 0161
Лидс 0113
Оксфорд 01865
Кембридж 01223

Пример номера телефона в Великобритании

Если вы звоните из Великобритании на другой номер в Великобритании, настройка будет следующей:

(код города, начинается с 0) — (местный номер телефона) или 0X — XXXX — XXXX

Процесс звонка за границу немного отличается. Например, если вы звоните в посольство США в Лондоне, номер (0) 20, 7499 9000. Чтобы позвонить в посольство США из США, наберите:

  • 011 — код выхода для набора за пределы Штатов
  • 44 — код страны Великобритании
  • 20 — местный код Лондона, при звонке из-за границы первый префикс «0» опускается.
  • 7499-9000 — остальной номер посольства

Поэтому, если вы видите +44020749990000, вы набираете 011-44-20-7499-9000.

Почему мой звонок в Великобританию не сработал?

Если ваш звонок не удастся, это может быть по ряду причин. Некоторые тарифные планы Великобритании взимают плату как с звонящего, так и с человека, которому вы звоните, поэтому они могут не принять ваш звонок. Другие распространенные причины сбоя вызова включают:

  • Вы используете неправильный префикс международного набора для вашего местоположения
  • Вы забыли сбросить код внешней линии (первый «0», указанный в местных номерах)
  • Вы пользуетесь услугами VoIP или интернет-провайдера, который позволяет вам изображать, как будто вы звоните на местный телефон, и, следовательно, можете следовать местным правилам набора номера.
  • У человека, которому вы звоните, нет тарифного плана для приема международных звонков.

Если у вас все еще возникают проблемы, попробуйте позвонить через Интернет через приложение, такое как Whatsapp, Viber или Skype. Практически каждый в Великобритании будет иметь доступ к Wi-Fi или Интернету, так что, возможно, вам повезет больше.

Есть ли у телефонных номеров в Великобритании ящики голосовой почты?

Великобритания похожа на большинство других западных стран тем, что к любому телефону обычно подключена голосовая почта. Владельцы телефонов могут персонализировать свои ящики голосовой почты, используя свой собственный голос.

Как звучит мелодия звонка, когда вы звоните в Великобританию?

Тональный сигнал ответа станции в Великобритании — это стандартный сигнал набора. что вы услышите во многих других местах. Мелодия звонка — двойное кольцо это стандартизировано для мобильных и наземных линий связи.

Вы можете услышать и другие распространенные тона:

  • Сигнал «занято» или «трубка снята» — означает, что телефон, по которому вы звоните, занят или отключен.
  • Сигнал ожидания — означает, что вы на удержании
  • Недоступный тон — означает, что человек, с которым вы пытаетесь связаться, недоступен

Не позволяйте нюансам международного общения и логистики мешать вам связаться с друзьями, семьей и знакомыми в Великобритании. Надеюсь, это руководство поможет вам позвонить кому угодно в Великобритании.
