As you are probably already aware, the prefix 0113 is firmly associated with the area of Leeds in Yorkshire. However, did you know that 0113 also accommodates a handful of neighbouring locations such as Armley, Garforth, Pudsey and Rothwell? 0113s are operational in numerous destinations throughout West Yorkshire. If you are unsure whether 0113 is the correct prefix for your region please ask for details – we’re a friendly bunch here at Number Supermarket and are always happy to help. Buy your 0113 number now.
0113 prefixed numbers get categorised as normal landline numbers and, therefore, get charged at standard rate. That means your customers can contact you safe in the knowledge that they know exactly how much their call is likely to cost.
What’s more, calling your new 0113 from abroad is almost a simple as it is at home. All that’s needed is to lose the 0 and add 44 – therefore the international version is +44 113 xxx xxxx.
Remember, it is important to present your new 0113 telephone number by using the correct format, for instance, 0113 xxx xxxx. Displaying your new 0113 telephone number in the right format is vital to its memorability factor. Callers will find it easier to remember that way, they will discover dialling is simpler too.
As with all numbers beginning with the prefix 01, the area code 0113 is what is known as a ‘Geographic Number’. This means that if you receive a call from a number that starts 0113, you can usually be fairly certain of the area from which the call is being made – in this case, Leeds.
Although the 0113 area number will usually be listed as being from Leeds, you should also bear in mind that calls may also be placed from towns and villages within the Leeds area, which includes:
This list is not exhaustive, and you might find that other towns and villages surrounding or within the Leeds area also share this number.
It is also important to bear in mind that although an area code is usually a fairly reliable indicator of the area in which a call is being made from, there are exceptions to this rule. The person (or more likely, business) might be calling from what is known as a ‘Virtual Business Number’ – this means that the company have purchased a number to give the appearance of being based in a local area, but in actual fact might not even be based in the UK.
Some mobile phones providers also offer their customers the ability to tie their mobile phone number to a tradition geographic number, which means that if you receive a call from them it will appear to be from a land line.
There have been some examples of people receiving calls from a number which simply consists of the numbers “0113” in its entirety. Although it is not immediately clear from where these calls are originating (and they may be completely genuine) if you are unable to verify the caller’s identity, it is fine not to answer. Any legitimate company or caller will be able to contact you through other methods such as post, email or text message.
The cost of calling an 0113 number is usually up to 13p a minute if you are calling from a landline, but can be up to 55p should you place the call from a mobile phone. There also might be what is known as a ‘Call Set Up Fee’, which usually rangesfrom between 15p – 20p. If you are unsure, contact your landline or mobile provider for further information on call costs.
Before selecting your new 0121 telephone number let us explain a little more about what this Birmingham-based geographic number can do for your business. Firstly, making the decision to utilise a 0121 contact number is an instant way to inform your callers that you are a local company and that you are situated nearby in a familiar location.
In addition, as a regular landline telephone number 0121 gets typically charged at standard rate – that means callers are also familiar with associated call fees when contacting you.
Phoning your business from abroad via a 0121 is pretty straightforward. All callers will need to do is to add +44 to the number and lose the 0. That makes your 0121 number look like this, +44 121 xxx xxxx.
Originally listed as the area code 021, since April 16th, 1995 saw the emergence of the 0121 we are all so familiar with today. As you know, telephone numbers with the prefix 0121 are associated with Birmingham. But were you aware that 0121s also cover many of Birmingham’s adjoining areas, or instance, Ashfield, Bearwood, Edgbaston and Sutton Coldfield amongst others? If you are still unsure whether your business is covered by the 0121 prefix or it is an alternative geographic option you need, please call our team on freephone 0330 332 0400. Our lines are open 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.
UK telephone numbers beginning with 01 or 02 relate to particular areas of the country.
The short answer to where numbers that start with 0121 relate is Birmingham in the West Midlands.
However Birmingham is a big city, the country’s second largest in fact, so the 0121 prefix code also covers many of Birmingham’s districts, suburbs and satellite towns, such as West Bromwich, Edgbaston, Halesowen and Sutton Coldfield.
During a comprehensive overhaul of the UK telephone network by The Post Office in the 1960s, Birmingham was allocated the area code 021 in recognition of its status as the country’s second largest city. This code preceded a further seven digits to make up telephone numbers in the area.
This group of seven numbers began with a 2 or 6 for telephones in Central Birmingham while numbers to the city’s North side were 021 3XX XXX, East started with a 7, West with 5, while South was 4.
Within these larger zones, districts initially had their own codes, such as 021 472 XXXX for Selly Oak.
This meant that people were able to find a clear indication where around the West Midland area a home or business would be located just by looking at its telephone number. Other areas which had different area codes included Acocks Gree, Ashfield, Aston Cross, Beacon, Bearwood, Birchfield, Blackheath, Calthorpe, Castle Bromwich, Druids Heath, Edgbaston, Elmdon, Erdington, Fordbridge, Four Oaks, Great Barr, Halesowen, Harborne, Highbury, Hillside, Kings Norton, Oldbury, Rectory, Rowley Regis, Rubery, Sheldon, Shirley, Smallbrook, Smethwick, Solihull, Springfield, Stechford, Stone Cross, Streetly, Sutton Coldfield, Tipton, Wednesbury, West Bromwich and Woodgate.
In more recent times, however, the explosion in the number of telephones, faxes, modems, and other internet and communications technology equipment blurred the strict geographical demarcation of the original numbering system.
This dramatic increase in the demand for numbers led in 1995 to all 021 numbers being modified with the addition of an extra digit to signify these related to a geographical area. This meant that every 021 number became 0121 overnight, forcing businesses and public agencies to change their signage and letterheads and also for IT equipment to be reprogrammed to take account of the new format.
Further blurring of the locality information contained in telephone numbers followed the deregulation of the telephone market when British Telecom was removed from state ownership and sold off to the private sector. This opened the market to competition so today multiple companies are able to offer landline numbers in an area where once British Telecom or the Post Office was the only provider. For example, in recent years Virgin Media has offered numbers starting 0121 250 xxxx to customers throughout Birmingham and that part of the West Midlands.
0161 is a designated prefix attached to telephone numbers covering the City of Manchester, Greater Manchester, parts of Cheshire and many of its surrounding areas, for instance, Altrincham, Oldham, Stockport and Trafford. Previously written as 061, this prefix then developed into 0161 in April 1995 – a telephone number that is now firmly associated with its north-western roots. Classed as a geographic number – due to the fact that 0161 numbers are allocated based on their geographic location – they are widely recognised and understood by the British public.
The 0161 area code gets typically charged at standard rate and gets categorised as an ordinary landline number. If you or your business is looking to get a foothold in the north-west market, buying an 0161 number is the perfect start. Choose your 0161 number from below, and we can have your new system set up within minutes.
Here at Number Supermarket we know that selecting the right local 0161 number that looks and sounds the way you want it to is of paramount importance. That’s why we meticulously grade each and every single one, paying particular attention to their memorability factor. After all, telephone numbers are a critical marketing tool and an influential reflection of your brand.

All of our 0161 numbers come with features including call routing, pre-connection greetings and more – although we can tailor our packages to make sure you’re getting the most out of your number, regardless of your needs.
Formatting your new 0161 contact number is simple but nevertheless, crucially important – the initial 0161 prefix should be followed by a set of three and four digits, for example, 0161 xxx xxxx. Your new 0161 number will be more memorable and easier for callers to dial. Don’t forget you can boost their memorability even further by choosing wisely from our wide selection of graded telephone numbers.
Calling an 0161 number from abroad is straightforward, all callers will need to do is to drop the first 0 and add +44, therefore dialling +44 161 xxx xxxx.
You might have come across a phone number with the code 0161 then wondered which region uses this type of number in the UK. This is a geographic number and unless you know to which region it points, it might become challenging to find out where the person calling you is located. In some cases, you will receive calls from abusive individuals or people who threaten you in some way and you are not able to know who they are or what their mission would be. Having the right information about a geographic number like 0161 could help you track the location of the individual.
As mentioned on the official Areas Code website of the UK government, 0161 is a geographic number for Manchester. It’s fairly easy to know the geographic region of a number by simply searching through the official website of the government that documents all geographic numbers. Some of the cases where people have had to search for these numbers include where one is confronted with an emergency and they have to direct officials to the right spot to respond to the emergency. You need to give accurate geographic information to make the process of resolving your problem easier, so understanding which numbers represent which geographical regions is vital.
If you require further information regarding 0161 telephone numbers (or indeed any other geographic or non-geographic contact numbers), our dedicated team is always available via freephone on 0330 332 0400. Our lines are open 24-hours a day, 7-days a week – after all business never stops, and we don’t either. If you would prefer to email please send any enquiries to support@numbersupermarket.co.uk
Whether your base is in the actual City of Sheffield or slightly further afield, a 0114 telephone number should be the one for you. Despite the prefix 0114 being directly linked with Sheffield itself, there is a host of nearby areas also under the umbrella of 0114. These include Aston Common, Ecclesfield, Meadowhall and Woodhouse – to name but a few. If you would like to speak to a member of our team before you buy your 0114 number, we are always available to offer support. Once you purchase your 0114 number, the service can be set up in a matter of minutes – choose yours below.
Perhaps the fact that the 0114 telephone number prefix has been operation since April 1995 is the reason many callers are so accustomed to it, instantly associating 0114 with the Sheffield region. With such strong connotations already in place, it is safe to say that a 0114 will place your business on the local map, immediately telling callers that your base is in a familiar location.
0114 is the dialling code for Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and some of the surrounding area. It includes all parts of the City of Sheffield except for the Midhopestones and Fox House areas. In addition it covers Killamarsh in Derbyshire and Aston, Ulley and Aughton in Rotherham. The 0114 code is always followed by a seven digit local number. Callers dialling from within the Sheffield dialling code area may omit the 0114 and dial only the local number.
The 0114 code was introduced in 1995 on PhONEday, when most UK numbers changed from 0xxx to 01xxx. Sheffield’s code was changed from 0742 to 0114, instead of 01742, and the local part of the number gained a preceding 2. For example the old number 0742 333333 became the new number 0114 2333333. The new numbering system increased the amount of available numbers from around half a million to almost eight million. Prior to the change, Sheffield was in danger of running out of available numbers.
Historically, the first digit of the local number denoted the exchange. This means that for an older number the second digit, after the 2, now represents the exchange it was connected to. It may be possible to guess which area of the city the number is situated in using this information, but this is not guaranteed. The exchanges were designated as follows:-
The new seven digit numbering system prefixed all these local numbers with a 2, and numbers created after the change also began with 2. The 2xxxxxx range of seven digit numbers has now been exhausted, and new numbers begin with 3 (introduced in 2004) or 4 (introduced in 2010). Numbers beginning with 5 or 6 are not yet in use but are available to be used in the future. At present, old numbers beginning with 2 are not being recycled when they are taken out of service.
0114 numbers are classed as geographic numbers, and calls to them typically cost up to 13 pence per minute from a UK landline. From a mobile, the cost can range between 3 – 55 pence per minute. Calls to 0114 and other geographic numbers will generally be included in the free minutes allowance of mobile phone contracts, and in any deal that gives free calls to landlines. 0114 numbers are normally found in the Sheffield area, but like all UK area codes they may be used by services with no physical link to the area.
What’s more, as 0114 is regular landline number charged at standard rate, your callers will also be familiar with how much their call is likely to cost – an element many customers find understandably reassuring.
Once you have selected your new 0114 telephone number, it is essential to present it properly, using the format 0114 xxx xxxx. This prefix is a simple yet incredibly effective way to optimise the way callers remember and dial your number. Increasing its memorability influence can be further achieved by selecting your new number according to our pre-graded system, starting at Bronze and spanning right up to Platinum. Let’s face it, your telephone number is an extension of your branding, so why not ensure customers remember it for all the right reasons?

Customers calling from overseas will also get reassured when they find all that needs to be done is to add 44 and lose the 0, dialling +44 141 xxx xxxx instead.
Purchasing your new 0141 telephone number couldn’t be simpler – taking you through the process without any fuss.
Remember, once you have your new 0141 telephone number established it is paramount that you display it in the correct format, which appears as follows:
0141 xxx xxxx
A number which has the digits 0141 in front of it indicates that it a Glasgow number, but it may also be a Paisley or Renfrew number. This does mean it straddles county lines; Glasgow being a city in Lanarkshire and the other two are towns in Renfrewshire, despite both being on the outskirts of Glasgow. Renfrew was the historic capital of the county of Renfrewshire but that has now changed.
As with all numbers specific to a geographic region of the UK these numbers cost up to 13p per minute on a landline and from 3p to 55p per minute on a mobile, but please note that the price on a mobile is approximate, so check with your mobile provider to make sure of the current rate.
If you are calling an 0141 from a payphone or from abroad it is likely to be more expensive. If you ring from abroad you should the number +44, which is the code for the UK, and not use the first 0 or leading zero.
Local numbers such as 0141 are preferable to 071 and 070 numbers, as well as business rate numbers (0843 etc.) which have an additional access charge. That said, many local Glasgow businesses may chose to have a freephone number instead to help their customers, that is 0800 or 0808, or even prefer to use a mobile.
Note that only non-geographic numbers can contain additional access charges or service charges so you can be confident that the charges above are with no additional charges, which is always reassuring to know. Note that as most people know the rate of local calls the prices are rarely stated when you phone businesses with these lines, nor do they have to according to the rules of Ofcom.
Please note that numbers for mobile phones which started 01410 and 01411 have now changed (they were never linked to Glasgow). They are now 07710 and 07711. Numbers for Glasgow and the surrounding district still do not start with an 0 or a 1 after the 0141, using other numbers.
If you have a complaint over being wrongly billed it is best to contact your phone provider, whether you have a landline or mobile line. You may wish to tell Ofcom of your problem, though they are unable to deal with individual complaints it may help them to know.
Despite sounding like a minor technicality, the correct arrangement of digits effects how your callers remember and dial your number. You can boost the memorability factor of your new 0141 telephone number further by choosing wisely from our pre-graded portfolio.
Of course, you may still have questions before establishing your 0141 prefixed number, such as which features would suit your bespoke business needs or what the differences between geographic and non-geographic actually are.
Whether your business base is Swansea itself or one of its bordering areas such as Gower, Llangennith or Ravenhill, rest assured that a 01792 prefix is firmly recognised right throughout the region. From Morriston to Mumbles, a 01792 gives your business an undeniable local presence – a fact many of your customers will find understandably reassuring.
Of course, another aspect your callers will appreciate is that, as a normal landline number, 01792 prefixes are charged at standard rate – ensuring customers know how much their call is likely to cost.
It’s not only local calls that are made easy with a 01792, but also calling this prefix from abroad only requires callers to add 44 and drop the first 0.
While discussing the arrangement of digits, it is imperative to present your new 01792 telephone number in the appropriate fashion, for example, 01972 xxx xxxx. Appearing to be a small issue, it nevertheless has a huge impact on the way that callers remember and dial your contact number. There are additional methods to boost the perception and use of your new number such as selecting carefully from our range of pre-graded telephone numbers.
Here at Number Supermarket we give you the option to choose from our memorable selection of numbers. Remember, your telephone number is an extension of your company’s branding – almost like a reinforcement of your corporate signature. Therefore, it isn’t merely a point of contact; it’s a valuable marketing tool too.
What is an 01792 number and where is it from? 01792 is the designated UK landline area code for Swansea, used primarily by homes and businesses. If you see or are called by an 01792 phone number, the call will be from a person or business located in Swansea or it’s surrounding areas. Similarly, if you would like to call a person / business within Swansea or it’s surrounding areas, 01792 should be used prior to dialling their six digit phone number if you are not based in the same locality. The exact locations which use 01792 are:
Calls to 01792 numbers are charged at the normal landline rate of 13p per minute. Calls from mobiles to 01792 numbers range between 3p and 55p per minute depending on your call package. All 01 and 02 UK numbers are charged at the same rate. If making a local call from within one of the areas listed above, the 01792 area code is not required – all you need to do is dial the six digit phone number. To call a person in Swansea from an international location, +44 should be entered prior to the area code. The 0 at the start of the area code should then be removed. Example – +44 1792 123456.
What exactly is an area code? An area code is used when dialing the number of a person based in a different locality to the person making the phone call. For example, if a person in London dialled the number 123456, they would get through to a person / business in London with the number 123456. However, if they dialled 01792 123456, they would reach the person / business in Swansea with the number 123456. An area code can also therefore be used to uniquely identify an area – so that all numbers beginning 01792 are based in Swansea.
Area codes can sometimes vary in length. For clarity, they are written seperately (often in brackets) to the main six digit phone number. For example, (01792) 123456. This way, you can easily tell which is the area code and which isn’t, and also, whether you need to type the code in or not depending on whether you live in the same locality to the person you are calling or not.
The Swansea area code became 01792 in April 1995. Prior to this date it was 0792.
Nottingham is famous for many things such as the legend of Robin Hood and Nottingham Forest Football Club (as well as Notts County). Another factor that gets firmly established as being recognisable due to its Nottingham location is the telephone number prefix 0115. The prefix of 0115 was first introduced back in April 1995 and since then has secured itself as Nottingham’s local area code. Nowadays, 0115 telephone numbers not only accommodate the City of Nottingham itself, 0115s also operate in many of Nottingham’s surrounding areas such as Beeston, Gotham, Sherwood and Wollaton – to name but a few. If you are unsure whether or not a 0115 telephone covers your location, please don’t hesitate to ask – or buy your 0115 number below.
As a regular landline number, 0115 is typically charged at standard rate – that means your customers can contact you safe in the knowledge they know how much their call is likely to cost.
In addition to the familiar pricing attached to geographic numbers such as 0115, there’s the memorability value of the digits themselves. However, to make your new number as easy to remember and use a possible it is essential to adopt the correct figure arrangement. Presenting your 0115 telephone number will allow your callers to find it more recognisable and straightforward to call.
0115 is the designated UK landline area code for Nottingham, used primarily by homes and businesses. If you see or are called by an 0115 phone number, the call will be from a person or business located in Nottingham or its surrounding areas. Similarly, if you would like to call a person / business within Nottingham or its surrounding areas, 0115 should be used prior to dialling their six digit phone number if you are not based in the same locality. The exact locations which use 0115 are:
Calls to 0115 numbers are charged at the normal landline rate of 13p per minute. Calls from mobiles to 0115 numbers range between 3p and 55p per minute depending on your call package. All 01 and 02 UK numbers are charged at the same rate. If making a local call from within one of the areas listed above, the 0115 area code is not required – all you need to do is dial the six digit phone number. To call a person in Nottingham from an international location, +44 should be entered prior to the area code. The 0 at the start of the area code should then be removed. Example – +44 115 123456.
What exactly is an area code? An area code is used when dialling the number of a person based in a different locality to the person making the phone call. For example, if a person in London dialled the number 123456, they would get through to a person / business in London with the number 123456. However, if they dialled 0115 123456, they would reach the person / business in Nottingham with the number 123456. An area code can also therefore be used to uniquely identify an area – so that all numbers beginning 0115 are based in Nottingham.
Area codes can sometimes vary in length. For clarity, they are written separately (often in brackets) to the main six digit phone number. For example, (0115) 123456. This way, you can easily tell which is the area code and which isn’t, and also, whether you need to type the code in or not depending on whether you live in the same locality to the person you are calling or not.
The Nottingham area code became 0115 in April 1995. Prior to this date it was 0602.
If your base is within the region of Hitchin in Hertfordshire and requires a geographic telephone number, the prefix 01462 is the one for you. Are you aware that 01462 also accommodates many of Hertfordshire’s neighbouring communities such as Arlesey, Langford, Letchworth, Shillington and Weston?

Callers trying to contact your business from overseas can do so by simply adding 44 and dropping the 0 from the 01462, for instance, +44 1462 xxx xxxx.
We are one of the leading telecommunications company in the United Kingdom. We offer all kinds of telecommunications solutions as well as NGNs to suit the business and domestic needs of residents in the UK. Also known as a virtual number, a non-geographic number is a phone number which is not limited to a single geographic location within a country. In other words, the number is associated with a country, say UK, but not specifically any area/city/county/town. Thus, when the customer calls up the NGN, the call would be transferred to the destination telephone set of the subscriber.
What is a 01462 number? Well, geographic numbers such as this are exactly what its name states and they are a complete opposite of NGNs. These are basically numbers which are associated with a specific geographic location in a country. In case of 01462, the linked location is Hitchin in Hertfordshire, a county in southern England. Hitchin is a small market town situated in the northern part of Hertfordshire. Thus, if you’ve received a call from an unknown caller whose number starts from 01462 then you can assume that it is a call from someone in Hitchin or surrounding areas.
While 01462 is basically the area code for Hitchin, surrounding areas can also be covered under this code. These areas are Weston, Stotfold, Shillington, Shefford, Offley, Letchworth, Langford, Hitchin, Ashwell and Arlesey. Generally speaking, a contact number starting with 01462 will basically be a landline because in the UK telephone numbers starting with 01 and 02 are assigned for home/business landlines but there are exceptions. This holds true to all UK area codes as sometimes such numbers may be used as NGNs.

In terms of counties, it encompasses Merseyside in its entirety as well as some parts of Cheshire. The area is split into two halves by the River Mersey, and is bounded to the south-west by the Dee Estuary and North Wales beyond.
Prior to April 1995, the code for the area was 051. Due to the need to free up number ranges for different types of service, PhONEday on April 16th 1995 added a 1 prefix to most area codes in the UK. including Liverpool’s. As with most UK areas, the local numbers did not change at this time.
0151 is a three digit code (not counting the initial zero), which means that local numbers following it have seven digits.

Local numbers in this area can begin with any digit other than 0 or 1. Callers dialing from within the area can omit the 0151 as they can in most UK dialling code areas.

Although these numbers will normally be allocated to fixed line telephones in the Liverpool region, they can also be used by businesses or services with no physical connection to the area.
