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.
More about 01792 Area Codes
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.
