What region is 01132 for phone numbers?

KNiVES · 11 Oct 2007 at 21:58

Just got a weird phone call on my mobile. She (yes it was a girl oO) didn't withdraw. I answered and she said first 'who is this' I am like 'who are you?'

Then it's all a bunch of fast speech I didn't quite catch. I didn't answer, so she went 'hello? hello?' and hung up after a while. None of my friends recognize the number.

01132 xxxxxx - what region is that for the UK, does anyone know? I tried looking it up but no avail. (I'm in Leicestershire).

been as i work there

yes its leeds

area code is actually just 0113

but at the moment all numbers start with a 2 after it

ironically, same as the leicester numbers that are also 0116, and again all start with a 2 after

haha, i was going to mention Leicesters change as well but didn't want to confuse the OP any more!

I just remembered my sister is at Leeds University, so I've just sent her a text asking what the sammy hill is going on. It's not her number and sounded nothing like her.

Do they? (I am sure that my school has a number that begins with a "3" [after the area code: "0113"]; is it different for schools [and/or businesses]?).

There was a few cities all done at the same time - Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Bristol, Reading.

I'm so anal about things - it really gets on my t!ts when I see codes written wrongly, e.g. (01132) or (0208) when it should be (0113) 2xx xxxx and (020) 8xxx xxxx.

There are more than 0113 numbers. Each Telecom operator has certain number ranges.

01132 is definately Leeds. Lived there for years and all numbers start with that.

Fothsn · 11 Oct 2007 at 22:16

Is definitely a Leeds number

0113 2*****

obviously they've just started then

they've had 0113 2 for years so were bound to start running out. The area code is just the 0113,as you have to type the 2 if you live in leeds.

so its no suppise you know a number starting with 3
