The UK area code 023 is shared by the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, as well as their immediate surrounds.
All local numbers after the code are eight digits long. Usually, numbers are allocated in the following ranges:
- (023) 8xxxxxxx - Southampton and area
- (023) 9xxxxxxx - Portsmouth and area
It remains common for people to misquote their phone numbers in the format 02380 xxxxxx or 02392 xxxxxx. This is misleading and wrong, as local dialling within the area requires eight digits to be dialled; it is the '023' which is optional.
It is possible to dial between Southampton and Portsmouth 023 numbers using only the eight digit local number, despite these two areas being geographically separate.
The following number blocks have been allocated:
(023) 80xx xxxx = Southampton
(023) 81xx xxxx = Southampton
(023) 82xx xxxx = Southampton
(023) 92xx xxxx = Portsmouth
(023) 93xx xxxx = Portsmouth
(023) 94xx xxxx = Portsmouth
Other numbers will be released in response to demand. For example, numbers starting 83 may start to be used in Southampton when 82 numbers run out in a few years' time.
(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, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
