Where in the UK is area code 79?

Answer 1

Area code 028 is all of Northern Ireland, with 8-digit local numbers. A number beginning with 028 93 is in Ballyclare, but it is incorrect to quote the area code as 02893, because '93' is the first two digits of the local number, not part of the area code.

In international format, Northern Ireland is area code +44 28.

(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.)
