A Birmingham number can be used by an organisation serving a wider area. The code cannot identify a subscriber or authenticate an incoming call.

How much does it cost to call?

01 and 02 calls may be included in a landline or mobile allowance. Check the provider’s geographic rate if the allowance is exhausted.

These are UK call-cost rules, not a quote for your individual plan. Check your provider’s tariff and any roaming terms before calling.

Allocation records identify number blocks, not private subscribers. Porting and caller ID spoofing mean the prefix cannot prove the current network, caller’s identity or physical location.
