Why choose an 0141 number?

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.

What are the benefits to me of buying an 0141 number?

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.
