Understanding UK Phone Numbers: Structure, Formatting, and Key Details

The United Kingdom uses a complex but organized telephone numbering plan managed by Ofcom, with different area codes and number lengths based on geographic and service type considerations.

Basic Structure

• Country Code: +44
• Area Code: 2-5 digits (omit the first '0' when dialing internationally)
• Local Number: 4-8 digits

Common Formats

Domestic:

• 020 XXXX XXXX (London)
• 0161 XXX XXXX (Manchester)
• 01XXX XXXXXX (other geographic areas)

International:

• +44 20 XXXX XXXX (London)
• +44 161 XXX XXXX (Manchester)

Special Number Types

• Mobile Numbers: Start with 07 (e.g., 07XXX XXXXXX)

• Premium/Service Numbers: Start with 09XX (premium rate), 084X or 087X (business/service)
• Emergency Code: 999 or 112

Dialing Rules

• Local Calls: In many areas, you can dial just the local number without the area code when calling within the same area
• National Calls: Dial the full number including the area code with the initial '0'
• International Calls:
  • To the UK: Dial [International Code] + 44 + Area Code (without the 0) + Number
  • From the UK: Dial 00 + [Country Code] + Number

Mobile Number Portability

The UK has full mobile number portability, allowing users to keep their numbers when changing service providers.
