What is an example of a UK mobile number?

Answer 1

UK mobile phone and pager numbers are always eleven digits long and begin with 074, 075, 077, 078 or 079. (070 is for personal, 'follow-me' numbers and 076 is mainly for pagers.)

Typically, they are also written as one block of 5 digits, then another block of 6 digits - although there are no rules about this and you might see them spaced differently.

This means that a typical mobile number would look like 07xxx xxxxxx in UK format, or +44 7xxx xxxxxx in international format, where x = any number.

If you just want a non-working example, such as for including in a movie, a book, a TV programme, user documentation, etc., use one of the 'dummy numbers' specifically set aside by the regulator. These are any number between 07700 900000 and 07700 900999.

So, good non-working examples would include:

07700 900129 (or +44 7700 900129)

07700 900391 (or +44 7700 900391)

07700 900470 (or +44 7700 900470)

etc.

Answer 2

All UK numbers now have 10 or 9 digits after the 0 trunk code or +44 country code.

A London number would look like 020 8765 4321.

An Edinburgh number would look like 0131 765 4321.

A Brighton number would look like 01273 654321.

An Okehampton number would look like 01837 54321.

A Langholm number would look like 013873 54321.

A Brampton number would look like 016977 3210.

A mobile (cell) number would look like 07956 654 321.

If you were calling the London number from Another Country, you would dial the international access code (00 from Europe, 011 from the US and Canada), 44 for the UK and then 20 8765 4321. The first 0 of the UK number is omitted when calling from another country.

Answer 3

A London mobile number is no different from a mobile number from another part of the UK. An example of a UK mobile (cell) phone number would be something like this:

07 987 654 321.
