List of dialling codes in the United Kingdom

This is a list of dialling codes for telephones in the United Kingdom. Dialling codes are the basis for the national telephone numbering plan. They are prefixed to all telephone numbers, generally depending on the type of number and its geographic location. The numbering plan is maintained by Ofcom, which is an independent communications authority. This list is based on the official standard, but it also shows older codes and historical changes. — contains much of the same information as this page. — The original alphanumeric codes in all their glory! Dialling codes do not match any specific political boundaries. For example, the dialling code for Coventry covers a large area of Warwickshire and the Manchester dialling code covers part or all of several neighbouring towns. When dialling a number from within the United Kingdom, all area codes start with a 0.  When dialling from outside the country, the prefix is not dialed.

For an explanation of the two-letter STD codes used below, see Introduction of area codes.

ELNS denotes Extended Linked Numbering Scheme areas, where an area code is associated with more than one place name.

 Long codes 01xxx [mostly six-digit local numbers]There are some places with the standard (01xxx) four-digit area code but which have both six-digit and five-digit local numbers, as described at Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom. These codes include 01204, 01208, 01254, 01276, 01297, 01298,  01363, 01364,  01384, 01386,  01404, 01420, 01460, 01461, 01480, 01488, 01524 (mixed), 01527,   01562, 01566, 01606, 01629, 01635, 01647, 01659, 01695,  01726, 01744, 01750, 01768 (mixed), 01827, 01837, 01884, 01900, 01905, 01935, 01946 (mixed), 01949, 01963 and 01995. and 01xxxx [mostly five-digit local numbers]There are some places with an (01xx xx) five-digit area code. These areas can potentially have either or both five-digit and four-digit local numbers. Nowadays only Brampton (0169 77) has four-digit local numbers (0169 77) 2xxx and (0169 77) 3xxx, as well as five-digit local numbers (0169 77) 4xxxx to (0169 77) 9xxxx, as described at Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom and at  (but not 01x1 codes) 01200 to 01470 01471 to 01762 01763 to 0199901200 — Clitheroe (CO0)

This change happened prior to PhONEday (16 April 1995); the new code is not to be confused with the current allocations of dialling codes commencing 02 to 09, as this code would have changed again (mostly by adding the '1' after initial zero) on PhONEday.

01426, 01523 and other non-standard 01 prefixes were briefly used for pagers in the late 1990s and then moved to new 076 prefixes in the Big Number Change in 2000/2001.

In several area codes, a block of 1,000 numbers is set aside for use as fictional numbers for drama.

The number format '5+4' refers to, e.g. Brampton, numbers using the (0169 77) xxxx format.

Areas with mandatory area code dialling
In the following areas, the area code must be included when dialling local numbers. This enables local numbers to start with 0 or 1 and was introduced to increase the number of available telephone numbers within these areas.

Overseas Territories
Unlike the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man which use the UK area codes 01534, 01481 and 01624, respectively, telephone numbers in British Overseas Territories do not come under the UK telephone numbering plan. Some are within the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). These calls are treated as international calls. Below are the access codes for the overseas territories:

North American Numbering Plan
 Anguilla +1 (264)
 Bermuda +1 (441)
 British Virgin Islands +1 (284)
 Cayman Islands +1 (345)
 Montserrat +1 (664)
 Turks and Caicos Islands +1 (649)

Others
 British Antarctic Territory +44 (shared with the UK)
 British Indian Ocean Territory +246
