Calling the UK: numbers to know
UK numbers are usually written with a leading 0. When you dial from abroad, drop the 0 and add +44, so 020 7946 0958 becomes +44 20 7946 0958.
- Mobiles start with 07, which becomes +44 7.
- Landlines start with 01 or 02. For example, 020 is London, 0121 is Birmingham and 0131 is Edinburgh.
- 03 numbers are charged like landlines inside the UK and usually work from abroad as +44 3.
- Freephone 0800 and 0808 numbers often can’t be reached from outside the UK.
If you’re abroad and need to reach a UK bank, HMRC or the DVLA, look on their contact page for a separate “calling from outside the UK” number. It’s usually a +44 landline number, which 002Call can reach at landline rates.
