Best Answer

Definitely earlier than the year 2000.

In April 2000, Portsmouth moved from six-digit local numbers to eight-digit numbers, as well as changing to the new, short area code of 023. (For example, Portsmouth City Council's number changed from 822251 to 92822251.)

Instructions at the time referred only to how to convert six-digit local numbers to eight-digit numbers, so it is reasonable to assume that no five-digit numbers remained at that time.

What is the telephone area code for Portsmouth UK?

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 plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, and some other countries use different prefixes.)
