The UK area code for Portsmouth, England, is 023.
In 2000, Portsmouth changed from area code 01705 with 6-digit local numbers, to area code 023 with 8-digit local numbers. 01705 xxx xxx changed to 023 92xx xxxx. This change led some people to erroneously refer to the new code as 02392, but in fact the area code is 023.
At the same time, Southampton numbers changed from 01703 xxxxxx to 023 80xx xxxx.
In more recent times, Portsmouth has started using the 93xx xxxx number range and Southampton has started using the 81xx xxxx and 82xx xxxx number ranges.
It remains true that all Portsmouth local numbers begin with 9. Local numbers in area code 023 beginning with 8 are in Southampton. Although Portsmouth and Southampton share an area code, calls between them are not considered to be 'local'.
Calling internationally, both Portsmouth and Southampton are in area code +44 23, with 8-digit local numbers.

The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and some other countries use different prefixes.)

∙ 10y agoPortsmouth and Southampton use UK telephone area code 023, with 8-digit local numbers. Although Portsmouth numbers begin with 9, it is incorrect to refer to area code 0239 or 02392. Also note that calls from Portsmouth to Southampton, or vice-versa, can be dialed with just the 8-digit local number, although they are not rated as local calls.
In international format, 023 becomes +44 23.
