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
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:
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.
